In response to "8th entry Bard’s Hall "

Dementia and Alzheimers is never easy for family members watch as it takes away a loved one's memories and often leaves the body still living. My husband's grandmother lived with Alzheimers. My own grandmother had dementia. I don't think loved ones are really prepared to deal with it. The challenges really bring out the best or the worst in the supporting family members. Our last dog, Amelia, who was such a sweetie, got something in her lungs and it made it impossible for her to eat. Ultimately we made the decision to euthanize her and I cried like a baby, realizing just how much I cared for her, and I didn't really appreciate it at the time. I have learned a lot from all the pets I've had. They're great teachers.

for Yvonne.

In response to "Writing, baking and the joys of getting older"

Yearly tests with all the worry about passing would be daunting.

The smell of freshly baked cakes is something my nostrils can sense even behind this screen. I also did a lot of baking over the years for family. Kids are grown and I stopped doing that much baking. Over time I cut most of the sweets out of my life. Now I can't really eat them because it's not appealing anymore. It affects my palate in a way some people would feel with something very sour like sucking a lemon.

I figured, with diabetes in my family's history I'm only helping to avoid it by declining sweets. So far, so good.

Writers do feel strongly about their stories.

I've been really terrible about editing stories I wrote for a contest that had potential, but then I got bored with editing since the contest ended, and I moved on to newer things.

Have you tried posting your story or stories up to 3 on "The Shameless "Plug" Page"

?

Also, You could request a review from another member who has their review request turned on.

Those yearly tests are probably keeping folks alive. I often ask folks about when they are going to give up their keys. We are fortunate to have alternatives in this town.

I forgot about this contest. I've entered in the past.

Although such events as the one you witnessed can be horrifying, it’s also a privilege to see Nature in the raw, isn’t it?

Thanks for your comments. Yes, we do have a very pleasant time on a Wednesday morning each week. There’s something about an all female group of writers that’s different to a mixed group. We’re all very sensitive to each other’s feelings whilst not afraid to comment and suggest ways to improve our writing. We’re very lucky.

Sounds lovely! Those photos are beautiful. I love the the little cottages. What a pleasant time you ladies must have had in that venue. 1896 cottage.

My house dates back to the late 1830's. I call it my money pit, though!

How beautiful the backdrop is with the local inhabitants. Kangaroos, and exotic birds!

Prompt: How will you start your day?

I start my day wondering how I’ll be feeling when I first step out of bed. Usually it’s painful until I get moving. After I’ve sort of loosened up a little I lay back on my bed and do my physiotherapy exercises. I then put the kettle on, have breakfast and watch all the bad news on tv.
Usually before my surgery I’d walk with my husband four kilometres taking the dog for a walk, but these days I walk around the block. That is the start of my day and it’s usually still only eight am.
After that? Well the day’s my oyster.
