Vintage Weekly: My Sweet Aunt

my aunt Billie Rae
dressed up for the wedding 
of her younger brother

She was a marvelous friend as well as an aunt
for she was only five years older than I.
I miss her sweetness and her long
'chapter' letters which would begin
on one day and be continued on another day,
and sometimes sustained for days.

I wish that I had kept all of them,
but I do have the one she wrote to me 
just days before Charles and I married in 1958.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether ...
