Reading my last blog...

I realized I left out all the pictures of my children and grand-children.

Two kids and four grand-kids take up a lot of pictures.

Two of the grand-kids will be going to college next year.

Another is 15 and another is 8.

Unbelievable, all of them.

I love them so.

Bern does facebook with the youngest 3 times a week.

I often peak in and am always greeted warmly.

Life has been long for me (thank God!) and I have been so very, very blessed for such a life and for my children and grandchildren.

Praise be....

 

So many pictures....

 The two drawers on my desk are full of pictures from the past.

Many are of me as I grew up.

Some are from family gatherings--both Bradley family and Jones family.

Many are from churches I have served.

I'm baptizing babies, serving communion, preaching, standing in coffee hour with people I knew from those churches.

In some of them, my hair is still brown!

I look at some of them every day.

They keep me grounded.

Looking at old pictures can cause a smile or a tear.

It's worth doing--believe me,,,,

 

Wrong lessons

Sunday is the Feast of Jesus being presented in the Temple as a child.

But the readings we had at Bible Study were different.

We're going to go with the readings for the presentation in the Temple. People won't have them to read, but will need to listen.

Listening is a valuable thing.

Listening is good.

Listening will make us whole.

We'll see....

 

Falling down

 As I grow older, I am more unsteady.

I fall down--usually coming inside from outside.

Today I fell and broke my glasses.

I don't need them to read or do what I do on-line, but I do need them to drive.

Bern, somehow, found my old glasses and they will let me drive until I see the Eye Doc next week and get new glasses.

We shall see!

(Sorry, I didn't mean to make that allusion.)

I was so upset...

...about Trump's becoming President that I thought last Tuesday was Monday and missed my regular zoom call.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Everything that has happened has added to my upset.

I need to figure out how to get over it.

If I can....

 

We're all girls

 You may have heard already, but I love it so much I have to tell it!

Trump's 'gender motion' was screwed up.

It said, "if you are a male or female at 'conception'" that's your gender.

Whoever wrote it didn't realize that the X chromazone--which makes a male doesn't occur until several weeks after conception.

So, at conception, all fetuses are female.

So, according to this definition, we are all girls!!!

Lost in Waterbury Hospital

 I went today, as I do every two weeks, to Waterbury Hospital to get my allergy/asthma shots.

I checked in as always, near the front door and then left with wrist band and papers to Outpatient Medical Services.

But when I go there OMS was nowhere to be found!

The office and treatment area were cleaned out. Nothing was left.

I went to the office nearest the old OMS and asked what was up.

A woman told me it had been moved and there should have been a sign, but there wasn't.

She took me back to the main hallway and said, go down to the very end.

I did and Lo and Behold there is was--much smaller and more crowded with medical stuff.

None of the staff knew why they had been moved.

God and Waterbury Hospital work in mysterious ways....
