I do not like exercise. I don’t like running, jogging, basketball, football, golf, boxing, or wrestling.
I do like swimming, but I can’t do that at home.
I also like biking, but I’d have to put that in my car, and it doesn’t fit to take it to a bike path.
I do get in at least a half hour of exercise daily.
So what do I do for exercise? I use my memory.
You see, I don’t have one, so this is how I exercise:
- While sitting in the living room, I decide to get up to get a drink of water.
- I end up having to use the bathroom.
- I forget about the drink from the kitchen.
- I go back to the living room.
- Five minutes later I’m thirsty, so I get up for a drink from the kitchen.
- The dryer dings that it’s done.
- I take care of the laundry.
- I go back to the living room.
- Five minutes later I’m thirsty, so I get up for a drink from the kitchen.
- I end up wandering around from room to room trying to figure out why I got up.
- I go back to the living room.
- Five minutes later, I’m thirsty, so I get up for a drink from the kitchen.
I’ll stop there. Let’s just say that this goes on and on. Perhaps after a half hour I’ll have gotten the drink. That’s a half hour of exercise!

Oh, my divine tail!
It is perfect in
every way.
It smells just great.
It has all of
prettiest colors.
It is so soft and silky.
It is long and lean.
It is mine all mine!
Then there’s my feet.
Can you see my gorgeous feet?
My toenails are so sharp.
My pads are clean and shiny.
There are colors to
tantalize your eyes.
I can use them to stalk around
the house like a panther.
Each toe is elegant.
I can even hold my pinky toe out
as if I were having tea.
I am so pretty!

What were these guys fighting about?
Why is only one left standing?
I look forward to your comments.
The most funny will receive something hand-made.

It’s warm in here.
It’s cold outside.
I love to sit in here,
when it’s cold outside.
I love to have tea
by warm candlelight.
It’s warm in here.
It’s cold outside.
Morale of the Story: I love Michigan, and I enjoy it most from the inside during the cold and snow of winter outside.

Sweets. Candy. Chocolate. Jaw breakers. Licorice. Lemon drops. Peppermint patties.
Candy entices many people. They long to enjoy that sugar buzz or the flavor of a dark chocolate candy bar with a gooey caramel center. Perhaps the bitter and sweet taste of gummy candies.
The love I hear of candy, expresses well how I feel about books (most candy does not interest me). Don’t I mean reading? No, I don’t. I enjoy getting into a book more than I enjoy magazines, online articles, or the newspaper. A book to me is as luscious and enticing as chocolate is to most people.
Mysteries. Biographies. Humor. Oh my! Give me a Lorna Landvik tale or a Janet Evanovich adventure. Oh, a sweet mystery by Joanne Fluke, JoAnna Carl, or Diane Mott Davidson. Then there’s kitty cat sleuths with Rita Mae Brown or Miranda James. Delicious!!!

As the sister of a fruit farmer
This is not a sight to behold
Ice on a bud
Is a big no, no
If we desire fruit in the fall
We need warmth after the budding begins

Once again
this home

protective

Thank you,

I learned some things on Sunday evening, January 13, 2013.
It was dark and cold. I was tired, and light wasn’t on my agenda, so I had taken the garbage through the house without turning on any additional lights. However, I did require the garage light, so that I would not miss throwing the trash into the trash bin. (I was not bending over to pick up anything that didn’t make it in.)
At the same moment that I opened the door between the house and the garage, I turned on the light. There, on the edge of the garbage bin was a mouse. I learned a few things.
- Have you ever dreamt that you were in a dangerous situation and needed to scream, but you could not make a sound? No one could hear you? No one could come to your aid? Well, I learned that when frightened, I scream like a howling banshee.
- I learned that a mouse can jump at least three feet through the air, run over the top of a car, and fling its self into the unknown void in the back of the garage in under 8 seconds flat.
- I learned that my mom can’t hear me scream like this with the television on in another room.
- I learned that my cats will come running no matter where they are in the house.
- I learned that I must now teach my cats how to use the phone to dial 911.

Kalamazoo, Michigan has a special treat during the Christmas season. It is a single street where many of the homeowners put out a Christmas Card for all to drive by and see.
Our one and only drive, if we even took one down this lane at the holidays, was on Christmas Eve. My parents and I would go to the Christmas Eve service at church. The service would end singing “Silent Night” by candlelight.
On the wintery drive home, we’d take time to drive down Christmas Card lane.
It is a delight to journey this road at night, Christmas Carols playing on the radio, with friends and family in the car to enjoy the sights.
I wouldn’t trade these memories for anything.
