Home

 Home now. The trip home was uneventful and seemed so very long! Happy to be home and blissfully tired after a morning of mowing and setting my vegetable garden right.

My granddaughter, Mila took the day off Monday to spend more time with us. My son had to work, but we went out for brunch with the rest of the family. I had a great time planting lilies and iris in Mila's garden. I was left to my own judgement as to where things should go. Mila is not one to care about the yard! I showed her daughter, Alondra how to water the plants. I chose carefully. Once the plants get going, they will be low maintenance. I put a couple of hostas out, too. I had planted some hydrangeas on my last visit in pots, and I got those in the ground under the big window on the front of the house. They will flank a bevy of yellow day lilies with purple bearded iris in front of them. There will be lots of color! Didn't cost a thing beyond my efforts. It all came from my gardens.

The daylilies came from one clump I dug up that was being crowded out by two other big clumps. I split that in half and my daughter-in-law, Jaira took half to her house. With Jaira, I just bring plants, and she plants them.

Soon as it cools a bit, I will head up to my She Shed garden, and putter around. It did not rain while we were gone, and everything is a bit parched.

I found out that my son's oldest daughter was in Texas to attend her birth mother's funeral. It was an open adoption, and Maya has always stayed in touch with her birth family. The woman was only 36 and just going about her business when she was hit by a drunk driver as she walked to her car. So sad. Maya was accompanied by her younger sister. The ex-daughter-in-law chose to stay home to annoy my son as much as she could. He no longer accepts her calls and ignores her texts, so she uses the children to get to him. She told the youngest child that she was not allowed to go see her dad in his house, but that she hears that another child is there. I am sure she is referring to Alondra. She says "all the neighbors" in my son's neighborhood have called her and told her this. She knew this would hurt her own child's feelings, but apparently that matters little to her. It has been almost ten years since she lived there, and the neighbors are not the same ones. Yet, she expects everyone to believe they all know her and call her with updates on my son's life. That she would use her own child is pathetic!

Back to laundry now. I will tell you all about the visitor we had here while away tomorrow!

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

I No Longer Care

  My dental checkup went well. He told me the bone graft will take another 3 months to heal completely. Then they scheduled my next visit with the oral surgeon to get started on the implant that will be on the other side of my mouth. Oh, goody. That will take 4 months to heal before the actual implant will be put in. Next week I will see the ortho about the shoulder. I have an idea ....... why don't they work simultaneously and do both procedures at once? Might as well make good use of the time I am under anesthesia, right? In other momentous events of the day ..... The temperature was rising when I came home, so I decided to take my jeans off and get something cooler to wear. That is when I discovered a lone sock, and a pair of my underwear had been in one pant leg the whole while I was out and about. Now I wonder if there was a lump showing somewhere on that leg and what those who saw it thought it might be. And that is when I realized that I l didn't care!

In My Opinion

  So, yesterday I posted, then took a short nap. Later I posted again, thinking it was new day. Says a lot about my ability to focus! Age or pain? Who knows? In my previous blog, I steered clear of politics. We were running a business, and I didn't want to offend prospects for that business. People who know me will tell you that I was in no way silent with my opinions, I was just a little bit careful about the people I shared them with. I didn't always choose those who agreed with me, as those lucky ones would tell you. I do love a good debate, after all. I have become more outspoken, as my livelihood is no longer an issue. I live in a pro-Trump area, but I seem to be able to find those who are like-minded. I have never thought Trump had the credentials to be a leader of a country. Never. I recognize the man for what he is. I have heard all the arguments in his favor and can counter them all with facts that prove otherwise. No deep research required, all you have to do is watch...
