one small mis-step spent
I’m left looking to the sky
How did I get here?

people offer help
my embarrassment reigns supreme
resigned, I accept

It’s Friday Haiku time!

Slips, Trips, and/or Falls
May make a person mutter
Watch your step lady!

As you might have guessed, the Moosie took a tumble this week – not even on Friday the 13th, but on the 12th instead. Sigh. I am fine – help was offered, but I did not accept it as I was able to get up unaided. I have some abrasions, bruising and a few little pock marks caused by stones in the parking lot. My outfit was not ruined – thankfully it is washable.

I am thankful for the proffered help. But I was able to get up on my own.

Getting old is not for sissies – never let anyone tell you it is.

It is still Friday
I am not too late, am I?
Here’s Friday Haiku


A quickie haiku to save my spot – will come back and think on it and (hopefully) do Lou justice.

Geneology
Study of those before me
Done for those to come

Busy week – a day late on the Friday Haiku hook-up. But, at least I’m here. Genealogy is my latest endeavor. I am sorting through records and pictures and trying to make sense of things so that my girls will have an easier time of it when and if they should so choose.

Sadly, I have waited until all the “old folks” have passed on. We can no longer ask who great aunt Tilly married after great uncle Milt passed away. No, those are not real names in my lines (as far as I know). It IS pretty cool to see where some of the threads lead, though.


I sort through the dross
Of other people’s living
Wishing I were there

Friday Haiku



Summer Solstice skies
Blazing orb still riding high
Alaskan midnight
