Ouch! There is no other way to describe what just happened. OUCH!!!!! Not a pleasant procedure to go through at all.I hope they found what they were looking for, because they will not be talking me into this one again, ever! Headed for a nap before church. I may nap on the porch, it is a beautiful day! Great weather! Have a great day, everyone!
Dig through your couch cushions, your purse, or the floor of your car and look at the year printed on the first coin you find. What were you doing that year?
With this prompt, it would be my luck for the first coin I come across be from the year I graduated from high school (1983). I searched the couch cushions due to the temperature outdoors. The car would have been more appropriate since I spent most of 1983 in a car, after graduation. I met my ex-husband in 1983, right after graduation. When he wasn’t at my house, I was in my car on the way to see him. It was kinda a close, long-distance romance.
I got sick my junior year in high school, so when graduation time was getting close, I had to go to summer school to have enough credits to walk with my class. To make sure I had enough credit, I took a night class at the local junior college, to pad my credits a bit. I’d been through too much with this class not to graduate with them. I worked my fanny off to get the credit, but I made it.
I spent the rest of the year finalizing my plans for nursing school, learning what it means to ‘shoot dove’, learned how important and fun it can be to try to be quiet while deer hunting, I learned how to catch and clean a crappie, and I learned how to drive a tractor to pick up a big roll of hay, to feed cows. Yes, I was turning into a country girl.
I learned many more fascinating things, these were just the first to come to my mind. 1983 was a year of many firsts.
There have been times I look back and say that if I could go back, I’d tell my ex ‘no’ when he asked me out. When I think a little harder about the subject, I’m the woman I am today, because of my ex-husband and it all started in 1983.
A place from your past or childhood, one that you’re fond of, is destroyed. Write it a memorial.
With deepest regrets, Fort Yargo State Park announced today that they would be replacing their treasured playground with modern, child-friendly equipment before next season. The playground is closed through the winter, to allow for changes to be made.
The old playground has been around for many years and enjoyed by many children, growing up in the area.
Gone will be the giant sliding board that was a joy to ride. As a child, standing at the base of that ladder, it appeared to climb into the clouds. Once you reached the top, the angle of the slide and the slick surface of the board made you jump right back on the ladder for a second ride. You could spend hours just on that slide.
The wooden fort, that looked like a small lookout section of a real fort, will no longer be available to play Cowboys and Indians or girls against the boys. Whomever had control of the fort got to decide which games got played.
At the edge of the woods was a stand of metal tepees, that would no longer be there to stimulate the minds of children into a good game. Whichever one they decided to play.
Gone from this park will be a beloved playground and tons of incredible memories in the minds of the now grown-ups, that used to play here.
I hope they make the new area as cool as the last one. The original Fort Yargo playground will be hard to replace. It was awesome!!
I love to see the sun popping through the clouds.The birds are active, looking for food in our feeders. I wonder if it is OK to put food out for the birds yet. I’ve soaked the feeders in bleach and cleaned them up. If there were any bird flu germs, they should be gone. I may just start over with new feeders.
The sun is spectacular today, but it is way too cold too get out and enjoy it. It is so sunny and bright, the light is hurting my eyes as it comes through the windows. My knockout roses on the porch are coming out. We’ll have blooms in no time.
The lantana on the side of the house needs to be trimmed, so that the new growth can come through. Sometime in the early spring, I’ll have to get my nephew to help us with fresh mulch.
The Chinese Fringe Flower blooms year round. Not exactly sure when to prune it. I have a few small ones popping up, we’ll need to transplant them. Today is giving me a little touch of spring fever. Although, I need to do a few more eye exercises to see if I can get rid of this sensitivity, I’d love to enjoy the day a little more.
