In Remberance of my Aunt Clarice.

The verse to follow is a little of my thoughts for my Aunt Clarice who passed over yesterday after a battle with illness and pain from a broken hip. She will not feel the pain now of broken bones but the lose of her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, left behind to morn her departure to Summerland  where she will find peace. Aunt Clarice may have left but our memories of her will forever stay with those who she loved and extended family.

I remember Aunt Clarice
with fondness, appreciation,
she gave of herself, her time
day or night without complaint,
a meal or bed always on offer,
she shared time and food,
washed, ironed, cooked, cleaned,
her work never done
bust was  her way of life,
I can picture her in Summerland
scrubbing clothes by hand
moping floors, cooking, ironing,
taking care of those in need
watching over her family
till their time has come to be with her
to show them the right path
from the doors of this world
to the next where she will
once again take special care
of loved ones she had to leave,
may her light shine the brightest
each moonlight night
and in the darkness
to guide you one and all,
life goes on each day
memories never fade.

Crumbin Sanctuary Pt 2

Missed a day. was busy typing up the script I had been working on. This morning, I have been out doing some weeding. And remodeling parts of the garden with plants that don't need much water. The sun became hot so I came inside before I became burnt. And so I wouldn't doing more damage to the areas of the body which has been aching. So I'm setting some more photos to upload while I type up more work. These are more I took at the sanctuary. The first three are paintings on the tunnel the little train passes through. And where the people walk to reach a different section of the park. This selection I took while I took the train ride around the park. The legs were aching so I opted for the ride. I had enough trouble lifting my right leg up a short distance to sit in the open carriage. You can stop at different sections to visit different attractions. This is ...

Trust Respect I didn't have

In a marriage there is suppose to be trust and respect, if not there, what do you have? For most of my first marriage I didn't receive either from my husband. The partnership consisted of three adults and the children. To come to that answer you have to have a wife, husband and his mother pulling strings, and sticking in her nose where it was not welcome. The main reason for her interference was to take my daughter to raise because she only had sons. But I fought tooth and nail until my life was in question. After my third pregnancy I was advised by my doctor, and a specialist, to do something to prevent any further pregnancies. The pill was not an option because my system will not take to induced foreign medication. A fitted application I refused because it didn't stop you having more children. I spent time with a woman in the maternity ward who had given birth to another child and the piece came out with the afterbirth. So I went for the permanent solution. I had the tubes ...

Spring

Where is spring? The weather feels more like winter. The sun is hiding and a chill is in the air. I'm thinking of going back to bed. The moment I begin to walk up the steps to reach my bed, the phone will ring. Or someone will come knocking on the door. Maybe I'll curl up on the lounge and read a book with a blanket over me. I don't want to find the heater and unpack it from the box. I just put it away. I had visitors yesterday. I hadn't seen them since 1991. Now my life has settles I will be able to go visit some family I have seen for years. Taking care of parents, family and friends, took up so much of my time. Followed by a lot of health problems. I have more time to do what I want for a change, since I have improved. I don't have severe pain like I had. Time for me to adventure out and see some of the country. The tree with the empty beer bottles were in the lounge room, where we had lunch on one of the bus trips. This was a day outing with friends. I ...
