Rabbit Trails

O.K. I have been bummed out about not being able to post pictures........but I ought to just blog anyway. You my blogging buddies will just have to use your imagination here.

They watched me like birds as I climbed the steps, and the nearest one said "I can leave this minute if you find my shoes." (Kate Vaiden by Reynolds Price) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When one is admitted to a nursing home, they don't come home. They are put in there for a reason, and the reason will not go away. We don't grow younger every day. It is a final living place. So, here we have an old woman that would pr
