Johnny Jump Up in the Side walk… Survival against all odds
The Process:
I thought today I’d try something different…
maybe my brain was back to functioning and
able to create something new and innovative.
Not so, yet.
It’s been a while since my thinking pattern
was altered as a side effect of a medication.
The doctor assures me it isn’t dementia or
Alzheimer’s,
but the inability to grasp words on command
or have the huge mental pauses may last
forever.
Frustrating.
I don’t want to bore myself or others
with the same old thing day after day.
For the few of you that read my six word
journals,
and leave kind messages,
I appreciate them more than you can know.
So for today, Six words it is:

Dad: Weather/whether/wanted/or not
.
PS
My dad grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and he was very philosophical about the weather and when one of use would
complain, he almost always say “You have you have weather whether you want it or not.” And that was our signal to
“adjust” to what ever weather we were whining about.

Memory note:
Today’s paving of the street in front of my house was much more orderly than one in back in the day…
many years past, but sticks firmly in the book of memories…
every year the street would have the crosswalk in front of the house painted,
just as school let out and then again the week before Labor Day.
One year, the crosswalk was painted in the spring
and I felt good that the kids could cross over to the playground, basketball courts safely for the summer.
(Drivers seemed more courteous back then, actually stopping for people waiting to use a crosswalk.☺.)
Then the NEXT DAY I heard what sounded to be a big truck in front of my house,
looked out and they were PAVING over the crosswalk painted the day before.
OF course, they had to come back and repaint the cross walk that had just been painted and then paved over !
Lack of communication…
Sigh. My tax dollars at work !
