Visiting Mom with our new friend Margie - Linda Ronstadt - Poem Quenching Thirst

I've complained in the past how hard it is to make new friends.

Met one Evelyn at the library, certain we'd be friends.

Not to be.

Emailed Mom and Ellen and Lynn I'd be bringing along Margie, a new friend.

We were sposed to meet at my house for brunch at 1 pm. Mom didn't feel up to it so I said, We'll come to you, then!

Hold on! Lemme see what's on TV tonight. I do like Queen Victoria. She wants everyone to love her. C'mon Vicki. C'est impossible!

Here is Mr Rogers being inducted into the TV Hall of Fame. Click here.

So moving!!!

Take 10 seconds, said Mr Rogers, and think of all the people who loved you, here or in Heaven.

My dad, of course. Scott. And now Mom. Our relationship has vastly changed in the past 10 years.

Quibble quibble quibble went the sisters.

We ate pizza with green and red peppers AND steak sandwiches with meat n onions on them.

No, I'm not a vegetarian but meat is not healthy. Any meat. Our bodies must work hard to digest it.

Am drinking loads of water as our dinner was thirstifying. Also our dessert.

Each of us had two tiny doughnut pieces.



Lynnie used to make these.

Okay, I confess.

412.

Will go on bike and finish MAD RIVER by John Sandford.

bc

Scott said to me, he couldn't put it down.

That's bc he reads one book at a time!

Before I go on bike, lemme write a poem.

I have no idea what to write about.

Lemme look outside to get inspiration.

QUENCHING MY THIRST

Is there a better sensation in the world?
Choose your favorite cup
Fill it with cold water
Drink slowly.


Interview with Linda Ronstadt on Good Morning America, I think. She talks about her Parkinson's Disease and her inability to sing, even in the shower. It's like a cramp, she said. Watch it here.
