I somehow always manage to post my comments under "Anonymous", why I don't know. But it really is me. And I love to read your comments.
Today was a rather memorable day because i found a document I had been looking for, and finding it was quite a relief. We had thrown out a large bundle of old papers, somewhat to my discomfort, but luckily this one had been saved. I am not usually a hoarder, but old tax papers and property documents rather give me pause before i toss them out.
We had a lovely day here today, with a tasty salad and once again a warm wood fire. Now I am sitting here, pondering what the future will bring. I had researched Parkinson's Disease, because i have become so unsteady in my stride, but I can't quite reconcile myself to that fate. It is hard to diagnose, so either way, it will be easy to simply deny its existence and pretend all is well. I walk with a walker and do pretty well.
Take care and keep in touch. I love to hear from you.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! We watched the Rose Bowl Parade, quite an impressive sight. Then I watched the football game for awhile, but it failed to hold my interest, so I did the only sensible thing to do on a holiday = I took a nap. Now the swiss steak is simmering on the stove, and we are just lazying around trying to find something to engage our interest. The television set is on, but I am in another room, so I don't know what my husband is watching.
I am reminded of another New Year's day long ago, when I didn't realize that New year's day was a holiday, and took the bus in to San Francisco to go to work! I had worked at newspapers for many years, where we worked all holidays, and never dreamed that for California employees holidays existed. I noticed that the bus was not on its usual schedule, and couldn't help seeing that there were very few people on the sidewalks. When I reached the door of the state building, where i worked, a sign said "closed" and I realized my mistake! There was nothing to do but catch the next bus back home, which I did before my children were up. It was a nice surprise, now that I think of it.
People have wood fires going all up and down our street, legal in our part of the country because so many of the houses only have electric heat, too expensive for heating an entire house. It makes us feel cozy to see the smoke.
Take care and keep in touch.
