Let's try this again

This system worked well for us a while ago, until I kind of lost my ability to compute!  About a year ago I had trouble with my hearing and working on the computer and lots of other things got crazy. I have hadA number of difficulties but I think I'm getting over it!  I am not sure where we left off but in November I had totally lost my hearing. I woke up and it was gone. that was November 1 I think what a year ago.   That Was when I kind of gave up on Blogging

.  Now almost a year later a lot has happened.

I Feel like my life is going in reverse.  I am revisiting many thoughts places and feelings that I had a while ago.  Here is one of the many stories that are letting me now what a wonderful rich life I have had, Yesterday was my husband's 80th birthday and with Covid and everything else this is was not a time to have a big party and somehow he didn't want to have a parade. His choice of celebrating his birthday was a Relais Chateau in Bedford New York.  He has taaught me to trust that brand,and he found one neither of Had been to before.  So he Made the reservation for tonight at the vet Bedford post inn.  We were off for a midweek weekend which couldn't have been more better had we understood what we were doing.  

As we kept getting closer to our destination I kept recognizing areas that are used hang around as a kid- Young adult. There were many restaurants in this area and still are.  It is a beautiful country drive with great colors, perfect time and I was getting many vibes of familiarity and thinking a lot about my family of origin.  The Bedford post seemed very familiar although it felt backwards. I have had this sensation often recently left is right right is left of it anyway a little bit of confusion but very familiar. Many family stories kept coming back to my mind and it was fun to share them with John. Déjà vu were rampant in my brain.  It reminded me of the restaurants my dad would take me to each time I had a new beau/We had dinner in the barn which was not a barn for me years ago.  At the end of Dinner  our waiter in advertently told us that this was the old Ninos.

I began trying to put the buildings and floorplans together in my history memory book Yes made it especially fun for me and I love sharing it with John.  We're walking around this place and I am getting vibes for familiarity when all of a sudden one of the staff mentioned that" this used to be Ninos."  A Favorite restaurant of many of us in high school with  parents and after for a very special dates.  Memories of friends birthdays and over 10 years the celebration came wafting came back. I shared many stories with John and he listened patiently.

While I had moved to Dallas this restaurant has kind of gone under- Literally Roofs had crashed down and walls had fallen but the stone structures that were built from the 1600s on we're still here. The essence of the old property and charm were still buried there.  I could feel the term in my bones just being there 3 to 400 years later.  It was like meeting a friend that I had lost and missed and didn't know how much. I must say the grounds were immaculate. I am taking care of the house has been rebuilt from falling down ceilings and it has been saved by Richard Gere and brought back to life. I felt a bit Of rebirth during the experience. And a lot of gratitude for the rich life I have had how fortunate I am to relive it in bits now.

Since I have lost my ability to put pictures into the blog Take a look at www.bedfordpostinn.com and you'll see some very lovely pictures. Thanks for taking the time, I miss you, stay in touch while we can.

SIDE EFFECTS

1. First - I want to thank those of you that are still around reading this, This post has been written many ways on many different themes but never completed - until now.  I have given up the goals of inspirational journalism dropping back to timely commentary and informational updates.  Limited to a need to know criteria or need to share. My choice.

`


div>  Will, William and Calli - amazing

Daffodils.

Pardon my abscence..  I've not been well!  But as my British friend Deanne would say..  Lets get on with it..  ,  I will start on a lighter note - DAFFODILS.  I want you each to know All daffodils have bloomed- I am being presumptuous since I don't have all pictures to share with you.  More importantly,  I have recieved many thank yous and realize how often each flower has brought a little sunshine into each one of our lives. The "gift" was Multifacited.


I hope to get back to writing more but it''s hard right now - I've been depressed (surprised?) and have not felt sociable.  Seriously,  it's not YOU, it's ME!
That felt good to get out.  It's true.  I am Depressed.  Just me,   talk me out of it or I'll just  wait for it to pass.

it will ...

please

self quarantine

Haven’t left the house in two weeks.  john And i haven’t killed each other and I am more thankful for having him in my life every day.  the first week of our quarantine was quiet as we both dug into our own projects....John cleaning out his office from 30 years of gathering, and me organizing my paints thinking of taking it up again.




>
 Then last Saturday we decided to go for a walk.  My walking has deteriorated from the and regressed to a tilted walk in the previous week,  a walk I had. About 6 weeks ago where my head starts leading and I have to stop to let my feet catch up - hard to explain but clearly not normal.  I believe it from my drugs and my doctor’s agree.  I was debating taking a holiday from them when....I tripped on uneven sidewalk pavers, smashed up my face and who knows what to my right leg and knee.  JOHN dragged me off the street and into the house.  MY leg was useless and my face was dripping. Blood.  John had a pretty good case of raking me to the emergency room but i dug in my heals.  He got me to the recliner in the family room and that is essentially where i have remained.

Now i am navigating on the first floor and have increased my range to the entire first floor = 1/2 at a time,   It’’s exhausting,


Beware...in this state of aloneness i have reverted making phone calls in a random fashion.  Connecting with friends on facebook that i haven’t talked to in years when i see they are online. For Christmas i bought. Myself a “Portal” primarily to read books. To WILLIAM. We have read a few and total joy without hugs.it’s very handy with this isolation business,

Next blog i may do a video...til then

STay Well and.  Stay safe

Alli Anderson

March 10th Ally Anderson was born.  7 lbs,10 oz around 2:30 AM         WOW!   What a concept - a GIRL in my family.  William is so proud of her and is grasping the big brother role with great grace and enjoyment.  She was well preopared for this new addition.  I am awed by KA's organiztion and preparation of her new home. Big brother shared his excitement and  showed no signs of jealousy.  Just happy anticipation.

 John and I had the honor of staying with William the night Katharine Ann went into labor.  We arrived to squeels from  William - followed by the dinner distraction. KA and Will managed to  exit quietly  to the hospital and John and I were alone with the little prince.  He had had a busy day so was ready for bed at his regulalr hour. - and really ready when  John finished reading about dinosaurs.  He was the perfect big brother - slept well and late. It could not have gone more smoothly.  And what a treat to get those first baby ahugs of the morning as we went off to Day care as I had a Dr. Apt.

I want to get this news out so it's going to come in bits. stay tuned.
