CALLING OUT AND BEING HEARD

For at least the past 20 years, Garry has never been able to hear me calling even from several feet away. This morning, he put on his new aids. I was on my way downstairs and he asked me a question. From the bottom of the stairs, I answered him. He heard me. Clearly. A … Continue reading CALLING OUT AND BEING HEARD

WHERE DID THE SOUND GO?

I should start by pointing out I'm the hysterical photographer who, when I look and see black through the lens, am sure my camera has stopped working. Eventually I realize I failed to remove the lens cap. You'd think I'd gotten passed that point by now. I've been a serious photo hobbyist for all my … Continue reading WHERE DID THE SOUND GO?

HOME AND FINE

Surgery went well and very fast. Now comes the hard part: keeping him from doing something stupid. He's not supposed to do ANYTHING for a few days. Normally, I have to argue with him to DO anything, but if he is not supposed to do anything, he decides to do it all. What IS it … Continue reading HOME AND FINE

MEDIA WAR STORIES – EPISODE 35

A VERY LONG, VERY GOOD DAY

It was Garry first trip to his audiologist since the second surgery. I figured we were just going to decide what equipment he needed and order it. Instead, he got new aids for both ears, an Bluetooth accessory for streaming the TV. She also set up his iPhone 12+ so when he answers it, it … Continue reading A VERY LONG, VERY GOOD DAY

ALMOST AUTUMN

There's nothing like some sunshine after the endless rain of summer on a crisp day at the beginning of fall. We haven't been doing much. I've been recovering and Marilyn's been packing dolls and photographing dolls. We've both been going back and forth to doctors. By the end of the day we've been tired. Still, … Continue reading ALMOST AUTUMN

JIMMY STEWART AND THE ALMOST INTERVIEW

Full disclosure upfront, I never met Jimmy Stewart. No interviews. No emails. No phone conversations. But I've got Jimmy Stewart in my brain, TCM's was airing most of the legendary star's films from the 1930s through 1980s. There was a masterful Stewart profile hosted by Stewart's good friend, Johnny Carson. He made it feel like … Continue reading JIMMY STEWART AND THE ALMOST INTERVIEW

MID-MAY SHARING

Share Your World 17th May Time really is whizzing past. No matter what anyone says, I don't think time is always the same. I can remember afternoons that lasted longer than a month seems to last these days. I'm pretty sure time is not stationary. It may say a minute on the clock, but it's a … Continue reading MID-MAY SHARING
