You probably wonder where I have been for the past few weeks and what I have been doing. Answer: Scanning hundreds of photographs from albums. Recently, I purchased a new printer/scanner, and I am sorting and then scanning each of the photos – one by one, to create a digital library of photos (by category).… Continue reading A Memory Scan

Just a Few Quickies
Well, Holly’s health issues continue to increase, and the latest lab report indicates problems with her thyroid and kidneys. The vet indicated she will now require meds for these ailments and the Cushing Disease that she has had for over a year.

A Horny Lady
I am guessing that it was the title that got your attention. But if you were expecting a hot and tantalizing story about an amorous lady I once knew – sorry to disappoint.

It was a beautiful, animated card of a country scene, complete with pumpkins, children playing, grownups doing their… Continue reading You Have Mail
My Gal Pal, Betty

My buddy Norm, (who was also a volunteer) and I used to walk over to the adjoining Surrey Memorial Hospital and buy a $10 Big Lottery ticket from the smiling ‘ticket lady.’ On our first visit to the… Continue reading My Gal Pal, Betty
Sad Eyes
Originally published August 2, 2012 Although he had been seriously ill for several months, his passing was sudden – or at least that’s how it seemed to me. “Death is so damn cruel,” I thought, as I watched him take his last gasp of air. It was that last gasp of air that he struggled to… Continue reading Sad Eyes
