Hands too Short

The change happened so quickly,

 Mother yelled from the bathroom,
 Patsy, I cant find my ass to wipe it,
It's true Patsy, my hands are getting shorter.
But I wiped my ass yesterday
No Mother,  I did that for you yesterday.
What? You were not here yesterday.
Mom, may I come in as I did yesterday?
No. I'm making another attempt.
Mother stayed there for a while, still trying
Haven't found it yet she remarked
Patsy, Patsy, Patsy sobbing
Mother, you need my help, I entered the bathroom.
She was pale and drained.
I hugged her, as I whispered you have daughters and sons.
We are all happy to do things for you.
Mother, your willingness to accept the help from us would be appreciated.
Your sons' wives adore you,
Patrick would wipe your bottom in a heartbeat
Mother chuckled,
You are so right, he would have opened that door and said Mother you are draining me.
When it's time to ask for help, whether its family or friends, please ask.

Still Reflection

That was my Mother
She is still Mother
No response, no dialogue
I cry, Tears
Seldomly she blinks
My thoughts drive me insane
Nervous, Shaking constantly
In  stillness I reflect
Amidst the dark texture
Lost culture
Unaware of her surroundings
Blinded by innocence
Yet humbling
The dynamics are changing, soon it will be there no more
Memories linger, Emotions devour me
I close my hand with yours

POOP Yes!! POOP

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU spend or stay in the bathroom? If you are the percentage that slide, glide while making a perfect pencil. Keep on sliding. Stop reading the magazine, unless that's the place you like to read so....

Let's slide and glide that poop out. My one daughter runs around the house, then she enters the bathroom and becomes very distracted while sitting on the toilet. I became aware of this after entering the bathroom after she has been in the bathroom. She stacks everything and more and she never ever puts them back.

Try Jumping Jacks,Trampoline and Squats. All three provide very good results. For the Jumping Jacks, the limit is 10-20 jumps. The Trampoline can give results in 5-15 jumps. So the Squat is the position you did as a baby. Try this for a good result; squat like a baby in the bathroom and turn the lights off. This will give good result in the slide,glide pencil.

Potty or chimmey used for squatting.

Jumping jacks.



















Appetizers Try B&B Cocktail




I prefer pistachio ice cream. A percentage of restaurants do not to serve ice cream with nuts.  So for that reason, whenever I am out for dinner with friends or spouse, my cautionary method is to kindly ask for something that they seldom serve like pistachio ice cream. Giving the server the opportunity to recite the ones that are available, therefore I can pass on dessert.

Appetizers my,  let me share my safe entry into ordering, For me, I stay close to the appetizers  There are always 3-4 appetizers that are appealing. The most common ones are chicken wings, chicken tenders, coconut shrimp and peeled shrimp. These are appetizers that are staple most restaurants.

However having coffee after meal is a pleasant after dinner delight  for me this usually accompanies a B&B Cocktail. Not many restaurants serve this, so its a plus to share  the two Bs with the bar tender. The classic B&B Cocktail is named after the two main ingredients, Benedictine Liqueur and Brandy. This can be served and combined with any alcoholic cream, such as Bailey's  cream or Irish cream. B&B is served at room temperature along with coffee. It's a nice combination and makes you look rather interesting and appealing! Try it the next time you are out.

Oh Woman by Angelita Brown



Oh Woman

In my shadow

Stood a statue

Face of blackness

Beaming with virtue

Oh Woman

Curved but wide

Body of a lioness

Legs of a stallion

Oh Woman

Woman of soul and wit

Purposeful  women

Confident yet strong

Oh Woman

A warrior to your name

Voice with power

A visionary

Oh Woman

Woman of courage

Strength, power, honor

Independent woman

Oh Woman

Of  honor

Stand up and be counted

Oh Woman

Stand up for justice and peace

Back To Our Basic Excercise

I enjoy walking in the park with my daughters we sometimes stop and  watch the geese or simply follow along the stream but taking pictures is among one of my favorite thing I like to do in the park. The beauty of nature makes me linger and gaze a while longer in the park, and I am captivated by the park.

Here in Pennypack Park, we have a number of wild life. Birds of various species chirping and whistling in the branches of  trees. The constant bustle in the park of  runners, walkers, cyclist and the avid nature lovers. On my trails, I have a camera and binoculars, I am constantly reminded by my daughters to stop taking pictures...("Mom, will you come on? You are not a photographer!").


I will share my adventures of what I like to do as I walk in the park. There are several parks around the city where you will find the same wild life. See how I have fun in as I walk the trails with my favorite girls.
