It's 50 miles one way down the mountain to the hospital. I don't exactly remember how long the hospital stay was but I think it was only three or four days till I was transferred to rehab for two weeks. No, there's no emergency clinic or anything being built up here. We have a tiny clinic...

Nobody was around but me right then. I had decided to just have a TV dinner rather than put my daughter to the task of cooking so I was on my way to the microwave from the fridge to put the dinner in for myself. My phone was on the charger across the kitchen and I landed too far away to reach...

Well, the doctor visit went well yesterday. I can now sleep like a normal person (pretty much) in my own bed. However, that long round trip into the valley and back took its toll on my poor hip. He said it will take about a year to regain all the muscle tone but that I'm doing well. I go back...

Oh yes, our little Secret Service Dr. Dog attendants always know, don't they? You too with the ster

I broke the ball off my left femur just walking to the microwave with a TV dinner early in April. But just like a bad penny, here I am again. You all can't seem to get rid of me any easier than you can get gum off your flip flop on a hot day.

To start out with, I fell down and hurt myself earlier in April. It's the worst pain I've ever had in my life including 4 child births. I broke my left femur. Just sheared the ball right off my left femur in the blink of an eye and slick as anything. I pray I never, ever, ever, EVER suffer...

Thank you so much, Christine! I'm glad you liked my post and especially that you understood what I was trying to say. I was just reading some posts about "style" and "finding one's style". It reminded me of a painting I did in one of my sketch books back when the Ukraine war first started. I...

I recently got a bracelet that has a little tag on it that says "Create something beautiful each day" and it also has a charm depicting an artist's palette plus some others. My intention was that it "nag" me to paint or sketch every day, but then I also realized that creating something...

Actually, belatedly before I forgot to post the link, I'll add this 300 pages of cotton paper because it was one of the papers I tried that I was actually surprised how much I enjoy using it. I do think this is a good paper at a price so cheap I figured it would be pretty much just junk...

I forgot to mention the tripod that my palettes work with. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSZYVY6K?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 And also a selfie/tattoo light that can be used to take pictures in a nice light...

Oh my gosh, shingles isn't a relatively minor discomfort. I've never had my shingles shot but I need to do that because I've heard shingles is terribly bad. At one time when I was taking 60mg of prednisone for a serious crash of my health due to the autoimmune things going on with me, I had a...

Darn it, now my time for editing has expired so I can't change it. I don't want people to be able to sign in to my Amazon if that url will let it do that. OK I had to sign out and then go to the page and add the url from there. But now I have to figure out how to get back into Amazon because...

That Mona Lisa question just hit my funny bone. I'm old but not quite that old. If I ever have time to answer some of the letters, I won't mention it to her and embarrass that sweet girl. LOL I'm feeling SOOOO much stronger and I've got much better skin color. Before this, I was falling...

The last few months have been so busy for me that I'm not sure where to begin. Back in October (I think it was October) I ended up in the hospital again. I won't tell the whole story because it's really a comedy of errors as the cliche goes, and when it was over and I came back home to go in...
