Boy when I first was worrying about dying it was the first of March...all the trees were leafless and the grass was brown and mostly the sky was grey....but now.....color every where and new life pushing through the ground and the sky is blue before 6 am. I'm changing my mind God. I think I like it here. Always did.
I want to assure my readers that I did not go to the cemetery and the mortuary yesterday because I thought I had spinal metastasis.
That was just a coincidence. I already had made the appointments to do some pre-arrangements...I did "lose" my wedding rings and diamond earrings while I was in the hospital...so when the insurance payment came I decided to prepay some "necessary items."
Now I have a "plop" (as Sydney calls it) right next to Francis in Mt. Olivet cemetery. Sydney wanted an elk or a horse on the stone...I choose cat tails. He'll have to wait for his own party. When we went to the mortuary, he began choosing songs! One of them was "will you miss me when I'm gone"???? yuk.....
Here is a joke that the guy at the grave place told us. He is 83....
There was a drunk who was walking home and he passed through the grave yard where there was an open grave dug for services the next day. The drunk fell in and was unable to get out. Soon another drunk was walking home through the grave yard and he heard the first guy yelling......He went to the hole and the guy asked him to help him because he was freezing down there....the second drunk asked him why he kicked all the dirt off.
I was looking at a holy card somebody gave me...It is a picture of Jesus...dressed in pink and blue and white shimmery gown...nice long curly hair....and I'm thinking..
I don't want Jesus to look like that.....he was a fisherman...dressed in sack cloth and sandals and probably had dread locks.....He looks gay in the picture I got. What the hell!
So, this morning I was up before 6am. The steroids are kicking in. I went to the flower farm yesterday and bought squash, several kinds, beans, geraniums etc. and hope to do some planting this weekend. I am only good for about 30 minutes of activity and then I need to sit down and regroup, but there is some energy coming back.

- The Calico Pen
- My book "The Bastard Tree" is still available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. I hve had a lot of positive remarks about my story and although I am not making money with it, I am glad I did it. It is one of those things that people always say, "you should write a book," so I did. I like to write and I hope you will enjoy reading what I post.
