Tweety Bird is Sixty Today

I bet you did not know this useless little bit of information. One of my friends from 45 years back sent me a picture of Tweety on a perch looking quite forlorn indeed. The caption was " I tawt I saw a pussy cat.......Oh hell I don't know what I saw" and I thought though I got a good laugh out of it ....how true. I have no idea any more what I'm seeing most of the time. I understand little of what my grand kids are saying and nothing if they text me. I look at television and can hardly believe what I think I see and wonder just how much further it can go. Just as a passing note I liked the Biggest Loser without the bleeped cuss words.....and I would not want anyone talking to me that way....400 plus pounds are not. The government keeps saying we need to get back to basics, but is it still out there. My grand kids would not know basics if they came up and slapped them one. With most banks in America striking me as crooks, what happen to the nice place you went to on Saturday morning to deposit your check and everyone knew each other? A good conversation was had and you left with a smile on your face. So many of the memories I hold dear are becoming something I can not even relate to my grand kids. They have no time and don't want any. Well this is the ramblings of a Tweety Bird Fan from way back who sure did enjoy those days that I can only shut my eyes and dream to remember and have. love pokie

Puzzles, Puzzels Everywhere....

When first diagnosed with Parkinson's I found doing jigsaw puzzles helped me get past the pain in my legs. In the first two years I did thirty some odd puzzles. Some were small with tiny pieces and others were large 1000-2000 pieces. The more complicated they were the better I liked them. Jane Wooster Scott has always been my favorite. As the puzzles piled up, I found I could actually do a 1000 piece puzzle in two days....laminate it and have it hanging. You see people with Parkinson's and particularly those on Requip often become obsessive and gamble or whatever, I did and still do puzzles. Is compulsive behavior when you know you are doing it? Every one I know has at least one of my puzzles. I have one whole wall dedicated to my puzzles, from ceiling to wall.Now this week I have started a new project. I finished a puzzle called "Grandmothers Kitchen" which showcased a 30's kitchen and all the antiques that went with it. As I was putting this puzzle together, I decided to redo my kitchen and showcase my antiques......Now we will see how long this project takes. "Parkies" are known for procrastination, obsession and fatigue. I wonder which one will get the best of me.....love pokie
