I know that’s NOT how it goes, and that it is actually, “Rainy days and Mondays always get me down”, ala Carpenters, but I am taking poetic license here, OK all you smarty pants?
And besides don’t sunny days make you smile?
Sure they always do.
Readjust friends!
Moving on…
Funny how I was once long ago in a place far, far away, not really…but I was really a nature loving girl… yep camping and everything, biking, swimming, fishing, hiking you name it I was up for the game of life.
But sadly no longer, now I am like that kid in the bubble; remember the movie that John Travolta made as a rather young man way back in 1976?
Gosh that was the year my second son was born!
How time passes…
Any-who, life goes on and some days are better than others to venture out, and so I am not really like that boy in the bubble all of the time, heat is the enemy and so when it decides to subside perhaps I will escape from my hidey hole?
Who knows?
Not any of the meteorologists.
Because I know they would tell me if they did.
That’s why I try and keep an open rapport with the locals of that persuasion, got that, weather determiners; they are my friends, oh yea?
They could very well be my lifeline for going out into the world, ya know?
Oh, don’t you think I can’t hear you all laughing at me about those rain or shine friends of mine, well they do know more than you or me for this I am sure, i.e. weather-wise that is.
We as human beings can tolerate a lot in the waiting on thingy, more than we know until we have to test it out.
Patience, hmmm, oddly enough when we were country folk way back in the 1980’s in NJ, shore that is we had what most called a CB radio for vehicle to vehicle communications in those days. That was before CP’s and all, oh you don’t know what CP’s are?
Why sillies they are CELL PHONES all you youngin PEEPS!
Yep, we country like peeps who actually lived ten miles from the Atlantic Ocean down in the Pine Barrens that have woo-hoo scary connotations in a little place a village called Bamber Lake a place in a larger place called Lacey Township. My handle on that CB was Patience in those days, because I didn’t have any.
And Hubby pleads the fifth since he can’t seem to recall his.
Yes, before phones in bags, or talking into your front console; Citizen’s Band radios were all the rage.
You see we were then involved in all those activities like Hubby was a Fire Chief, a Scouting Coordinator for all of Ocean County NJ and also an assistant soccer coach too all as a volunteer and I was his assistant in those days. And so we would transport our own sons and other little darlings to these things.
One time we were responsible for getting 600 scouts to West Point and with only a few other parents help!
What an experience! But you can well imagine how communication was of the utmost importance at that time, a handy little item. And free to use after the initial cost.
And yes I do remember that James Bond had a car phone back in the early 1960’s, but our first that we had was only in 1992. And thanks to NASA and those Bond Movies we have many wild and crazy inventions that may seem usual today!
Memories are filling my brain lately whatever could that possibly mean?
Well, I am taking it as a time to catalogue those memories before they are wispy, huh's?
Don’t tell me that’s not a good idea, my parents have long passed away, and Hubby has only one left, his Mom who has none left, memories that is, since she sadly has dementia.
I do believe that whatever one does in life can be interesting, so write it down before you forget!
On that warning of my caring…so now all of you have a very happy good night and to all count those blessing and share those overages please and we will too!
And next time be here or be square, OK?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
