The news is certainly terrible and how lucky we are to live here in comparative safety. I am torn between not watching the news at all, and trying to keep up with current affairs. There is little or nothing I can do improve things.<br />You seem to be settling into your regime of relative immobility and making the most of it. So pleased your friends and neighbours drop in for chats to provide some companionship.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-16516634347455359682023-02-13T05:25:48.395-08:002023-02-13T05:25:48.395-08:00I didn't really expect any commnts today as ye...I didn't really expect any commnts today as yesterday's coment fr0m me was just excuses for not posting - but thank you for calling in.

Your practical soul tells you when 'enough is enough' and your sensible mind heeds it. Most of all, what I love is knowing that you have plenty of people stopping in to visit. <br /><br />The stories and images generated by that earthquake are just heartbreaking. My heart breaks for this world multiple times a day.

A visit with a friend who cared enough to stop in for a chat is a gosh darn good reason not to blog that day. I find it a real treat when someone knocks at my door and come in and sit awhile. There is nothing quite like genuine human interaction to boost one's spirit. I also find it so much easier to convey real feelings on a topic of conversation when it is in person. I like to read one's face. I sort of feel like real conversation is going the same direction as letter writing, a thing of the past. I just read two years worth of love letters writen to my mother by my father. Masterpieces! And writen with a genuine Waterman ink pen! I have that very pen and keep it on my desk as a reminder of him. Memories of the way we were...would we do it all again, if we could? Maybe the answer is in the song, The Way We Were. I wish everyone peace and contentment.Woody in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912558135648804313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-40432965756170920562023-02-12T08:12:20.800-08:002023-02-12T08:12:20.800-08:00You live a well ordered life and this seems to ser...You live a well ordered life and this seems to serve you well. I've stopped watching the news because I can not continue to look at the same photos showing destruction and devastation. That's what sells so I do not expect change.

The Tipton's come from Shropshire. On my maternal side (Hadfield), they come from Glossop. Anyone reading this comment, let me know!<br />Ron Tipton (descendent of Jonathan Tipton who emigrated to Jamaica in the 1600's then left Port Royale in 1692 during the Great Earthquake and resettled in Baltimore, Maryland. All the Tipton's in the USA are descended from that Jonathan Tipton. But there are stilla great many Tipton's left in the Black County (Midlands). I would love to communicate with some of them who are interested in our common family tree.<br />Ron TiptonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-54071752470765362352023-02-12T06:54:44.003-08:002023-02-12T06:54:44.003-08:00I too find days have flown by then I realize I hav...I too find days have flown by then I realize I haven't posted in a week. In my household I am the caregiver to my 94 year old partner/husband who suffered two strokes two years ago. He's on home hospice care now. His hospice nurse comes in once a week to check on his vital signs and see if we need anything but the rest of the week we have our usual routine. <br />Yes, it is horrible what has happened in Turkey and Syria with the earthquakes. We are so fortunate that hasn't happened to us.<br />Have a great day!<br />Ron Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-57951976495579605042023-02-12T06:53:42.249-08:002023-02-12T06:53:42.249-08:00You are braver than me at the moment reading the n...You are braver than me at the moment reading the news.<br />Some money has been sent to DEC but I cannot switch on the news.Yellow Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719449279985048223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-85971051970983667332023-02-12T05:48:41.626-08:002023-02-12T05:48:41.626-08:00Things being shot down over the USA - not a good t...Things being shot down over the USA - not a good time to go ballooning.
