The girl on the boat



Well,

here I am.

Again.

My life has been eventful.

Like a ship tossed about on a stormy sea.

You can see me

 if you look really carefully through the porthole.

I'm the one hiding under the sheets

clutching  my small comfort teddy.

Our city is awash with tales of the Titanic.


Restaurants with menus that include desserts made out

of coconut to look like icebergs.

Windows filled with books about the boat

and dresses with a maritime theme.

My berg hit when my retina on my  eye tore again in four places.

I had surgery three years ago on my right eye

and  it happened again.

On the other one.

However, this ship isn't set to sink.

I'm way too positive for that.

Molly brown would be proud.


Field notes ::

Laser surgery ain't nice.

Laying in bed while your darling husband cares for you, is. :)

Keep well, dears

  2. Thats not good news at all :( but hopefully soon all will be well. Enjoy having Hubby and the family taking care of you for a while, I know you love to be busy and love taking care of everyone else, but you should rest up when you have the op.

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
