From A Wide Spot In The Road

Well you've got to get better or the world's going to come crumbling down.

The winds were strong all day, 39 to 45 mph, down, under the patio, ripping it apart
until only a twisted metal frame is left reminding of what was and is no more under a
clear sky and gentle winds. A bird feeder sways in the breeze unmindful of yesterday’s
storm and a structure that is gone.
 
Yeah??? They were pretty good. Had four. Two with pure maple syrup.
Two with raspberry preserves. A contrast in flavors. A contrast to the
breakfast burritos I usually have.

When you get your cell phone, you can buy a Waffle case for it!

Having the best day had in weeks. Got up did the supper dishes.
Set evetrything out for breakfast, Napkins, jelly, silverware, coffee
cups. Had a breakfast burrito and piece of toast with a little
raspberry preserves spread over it. Took medicine then paid a
coupe of utility bills, did the breakfast dishes wiped up the kitchen.

Tried out a peach pie wife baked this morning. Some of that good!
Now here I sit fooling around with old smoky and my tongue
wagging thirty miles an hour.

What do we know about meals on wheels?

Who Qualifies for Meals on Wheels? (informedseniorliving.com)

I believe you get one meal a day 5 days a week. Usually a noon meal. At least here in KS that's the way it's always been. Around here various places can be responsible for preparing it. I worked at hospital years ago that made and sent out meals. The drivers are volunteers. I don't know if it costs or if it's free. See what the link says and maybe reach out to a local community health dept and see if they have more info??
 
I don't know who prepares these meals either but they do publish a menu. The cost is lper meal and depends on income less allowable deductions. Here's the Norman menu.

APRIL 2021 MENU​

This menu represents a regular diet only.
Please contact the Meals on Wheels office at (405) 321-7272 before 7:30am on any day that you do not wish to receive a meal. Thank you!

A Place For Poetry.

So how do we know
The place to go
seeking verse and rhyme

We do not know
The place to go
We are free seeking

A phrase, a word
Not normally heard
Or whispered aloud

Yes we were transported
Lifted, carried aloft
And sat down

Not in a park
Nor in the dark
But a well lighted place

A place for poetry.
 
Okay so I'm not poetic either. I'll just talk to myself, talk to myself about you.

I'm on another forum or two. Sometime I get so angry I don't ever want to
go back but I do. That's the thing about politics and maybe other subjects.

I've been having a world of trouble, trouble getting groceries bought and
delivered to the house. It's been quite the hassle. Of course I'm an old man
and almost everything is a hassle or more hassle than it used to be. Merely
living with another persn is more difficult.

Cooking has gotten to be a big problem. Health issues, eye sight, memory,
toothless, physically unable, mental degradation, a range of issues. Quick
to frustrate. My, my, why me, Lord? Why not? What's the right and wrong
of it? The good and bad? Maybe the whole ball of wax is unrational. If so,
then what will we write about or talk about? And why am I asking you?
