Got a shovel I've been digging Don't know what exactly I'm suppose to bury On the ledge legs a swinging whi-st-ling a tune that found me lit'l unaware Chambers fill-in' up real fast now hard to catch ya breath when water's everywhere Unmoved which way is there to travel Unbothered floundering lost sight of all the sea Unmoved when that gust of wind gone take me take me to another place away from here

 It has been 11 months since I posted about wanting to be able to walk down the street to get produce and other grocery items like one might do in a neighborhood in NYC. Well, I done conjured up this fantasy in that a Mexican Grocery Store is now almost complete and will probably open around 4.6.2022. One year to the date of the post seems quite mysterious, but I'll take it. This store is around the corner and two blocks down from my house... a bit closer if I take the alleyway. "If you build it, they will come." This is just what this single lady needs about now... and a trip to Dar Salaam, Tanzania. Blessings~

It may not last! It may not work out! So what Let's hear it for the naysayers raise a glass to the wet blankets and dream killers

Written around 2007 Never Published* I've changed my mind about living life to the fullest about dire straits and gasoline cost and being the coolest about cheesecake for breakfast and marriage and bling about leaving tips and one-horse towns and circus rings I've change my mind about politics, Mickey Mouse and Earl Grey Tea about what goes up must come down and you getting the best of me I've changed my mind about crapes and lemons and eagle's rights McCain and Obama and about leaving the lights on during the night about higher education and college fees about getting rid of all those ticks and momma's backyard fleas about driving cross country and catching the game about seeing my old high school sweetheart and reigniting the flame I've changed my mind about war crimes and poverty about breast-feeding and comfortable shoes and equality dogs looking like their owners and underground tunnels built in Manhattan people who find themselves loners, and about General...

All things must come to an end. Today I am ending the chore, the commitment of writing everyday. Well, sort of. I will write, but just not in this space everyday. Blessings~

Huck Hugh the town idiot strapped a pillow case where within was a rubber ball to his head and fashioned himself to prance along the lane and jump down the town's only well. As he went careening down the well, we all hear a loud splash and then a thud.  Rosemary Raspberry delighted in the possibility of having work for her undertaker father. Soon we all hear, "I'm al'right." Huck Hugh uncrumbled himself from the fall. "I rather thought the well was deeper than it is."  Buttercup Buttons darts over with a long rope and drops it down the well to Hugh. "Oh, Dear! Oh, Dear," she exclaims. Buttercup was large and girthy. She is rumored to have lifted the Troptop's cow out of a  ditch single handedly after the rains washed the poor heifer away. The cow, not Buttercup. Rosemary Raspberry's smile soon withers into a frown. She turns back to the mortuary stamping her feet with steady disappointment.  You see her father dotes on her rather lavis...

I had dinner with my sister last night. She has been encouraging me to write along with other folks. I told her I had lots of stuff written. She then goes on to tell me, "well you already should have your book." I agree to just agree. It has been some time since I have had the inner will to pursue writing as a career. I have another blog I pulled up to remind her that there was a time when I wrote about other things that interested me that had facts and references. I guess I just personally stopped believing in the ability to change things with information that must be read.  Here is a post http://changestobelieve.blogspot.com/ I am trying to believe again.
