Walking Through Memories Has Arrived

It has finally happened! Walking Through Memories, my debut poetry book, is really on Amazon and Barnes & Nobles! This has been a project in the making for a while. The poems date back to the mid-70s. Thanks to my daughter, Brande, I was forced to gather how ever many poems I could find, send

Senior Techie vol 1:5

Hi, Senior Techie has been otherwise engaged since March-ah, March. I remember happy thoughts for Spring and Summer. Instead, we became terrorized by an unseen but very visible coronavirus named COVID-19. A most unwanted guest so to say. Then, the application of the word: Pandemic! What? We don’t get involved in these world type diseases…those

Surprise Coming

Its October 1, 2020 and I have a secret that won’t remain one for long. This is a teaser, by the way, in hopes that you will come back to find out about the Secret. Let’s see, about 7 or 8 people already know but promised not to spread it around just yet. I won’t

America, Stop Shooting Yourself in the Head

America shot itself in the head when it denied education to the slaves and descendants of slaves. America shot itself in the head when it made it nearly impossible for Black children to receive a fully enriched education. Racism is Not Over. Today, America continues to shoot itself in the head when the educational system

Happenings in this Time of COVID-19

By now, we all have been affected by this time of COVID-19. For each of us, our perception of this disease varies. Now, I am doing my best to shelter in place. This means that I am not leaving my house unless it is absolutely a necessity. No one enters this house. My groceries are

Senior Techie Vol. 1:4 March 10, 2020

I can hardly believe that we are in the second week of March. Not that I’m unhappy to see Winter exit…well, sort of anyway. I’m still dragging out “Puffy” whenever I want. Really dislike being cold. This is the crazy weather in the Midwest. Cold, warm, chilly, cold and that’s in one day or a

Senior Techie Vol. 1:2 Dec. 29,2019

As usual, I announce things backwards. This is no reflection on the age of the Senior Techie. This is my usual operating procedure. Anyway, after I posted my first, of what I hope are many, Senior Techie moments, my mind snapped back to remember that I never introduced Senior Techie. Well, it’s me. I’ve loved

Senior Techie vol. 1 Dec. 2019

With the beginning of a new year, I have decided that there must be something about our technology that speaks just to those of us who are called seniors, elderly, or whatever title comes when you are over 60 or is it 70? Constantly, I am amazed when looking at the newest technology that I

Poem: The Game

I felt his hand touch my hair Soft and velvet His eyes said love His heart wanted mine Soft and velvet. We played a carefree game Avoiding his gentle touch Teasing that he displayed too much. Laughing that he loved just me He laughed and told me, “Never” Yet his heart showing through his eyes

Will You Repeat That?

I have a question for you: When was the last time that you had your hearing checked? Most people will schedule their annual physical and dental cleanings but what about your hearing? What about those ears?

Faith is Hard to Find

Have you ever wondered why your Faith wavers? There are days when I wonder where is my faith? I pray and say that I believe what Yahweh Promises. Yet, there are those times when a circumstance will arise that rocks my world for a moment. Yahweh’s Wisdom tells us that all we need is faith
