Wordless Wednesday...

"They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for."

Simply Tuesday...

Okay...

I'm having good days and some bad days. A fractured rib, is not as bad as a broken rib. But it still hurts just the same. It is a pain I can do without...

This is never good because it tells you one thing...

Hey guess what? You ain't Super Man.

Super Man or not...this has side lined me by greatly hobbling my movement and turned out to be a real pain in the butt. Stupid ice...

But it must be worked through. You never realize how blessed you are until you can't do what you did everyday...

And that's enjoy life with no worries and no pain. When we are young, a boo-boo would heal in no time.

When we are older, a boo-boo becomes our shadow of pain that will not let go and becomes our worst enemy and our constant friend.

The body will heal, if it can, and the pain will go away, with the grace of God, until the next time...

Pain becomes our constant companion, our way of life, our curse, our nightmare, our downfall, our friend until the end.

I'll get better in the months ahead hopefully, but right now, you could shoot me dead and I'd dance at my own funeral and say thank you at the same time.

That's how bad I feel sometimes...

Weekend Report...

I'm fixing to grill some leg quarters with sides of pinto beans and fried squash.

Yum...

The weather is fantastic for this little outdoor adventure.

Come to me my child. Big Daddy awaits your kiss of warmer weather.

I've grilled two nights in a row.

Woo-Hoo!!!

B.D.

(Yes I know the picture is of chicken, beans and corn instead of squash and pinto beans. I confess...there are only so many pictures you can take of chicken. Just use your imagination...)

This & That...

Robyn wanted steaks tonight. So I did my magic...

The weather was perfect for this little endeavor, so I went for it. I'm still in pain from my little (or big) fall on the ice. But...life goes on.

I just have to work through it. Grilling might help me get back on my game.

Hey...it couldn't hurt.

Well...maybe it did just a tad...

Simply Thursday...

My good friend and buddy WhiteTrashBBQ (who is a good ole Brooklyn boy) posted on his blog, he has 15 inches of snow at his place.

Oh My Gawd...

That much snow around here would shut this state down for awhile. It's always funny around here because any forecast of snow, people make a run for the store.

Milk and bread...

Milk and bread will be wiped out, but there will be plenty of lunch meat and plenty of everything else. Why just milk and bread?

Me...I stock up on cold libations. If I have cold brew...I'm good, let it snow.

Why just milk and bread? Make a run on the store, stock up, fill that shopping cart to the max, grab everything. Milk and bread is like crackers and water...

I don't get it. But...that's what we do...

On Another Note:

I'm feeling better...but I'm still in pain. It will be a good six weeks before I start doing better. I will tell you honestly, this sucks. I'm not sleeping well at all and that in it self will catch up with me before long.

But I'm a tough old bird and I'll do the best I can. One day at a time...

Wordless Wednesday...

A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.
