This is a picture I took some time ago with my new camera. I call it a cyclops dragonfly. I don't know if it would be good enough to enter in a Wordless Wednesday blog or not What do you guys think.Just piddling around for a few minutes waiting to leave for a funeral of a good friend. She was an independent spirit who truly hated to have anyone help her, even when her health was failing. She will be missed. She and I had an interesting relationship in that I could say things to her that she would not take offense to yet if anyone else said the same thing she would blow up.
I lay in bed last night thinking how time changes people. When we were first married, and for several years after that, we would snuggle up to each other, kiss, fondle, and do the thing that married couples do at that age. Often the words would be spoken, "Ohhhhhh, that feels so good."
Now we lay there with our backs to one another, just enjoying the body warmth on our backs and still the words are the same. "Ohhhhhh, that feels so good." Young people, and some old ones, life changes as you get older and more brittle. The simple pleasures you enjoy at an older age are just as intimate but accomplished in a different manner.:)
Have been researching Merle and Jen's blogs for appropriate material to include in a religious lesson tomorrow at church. Those gals crack me up. Jen just told me that they have a law in Australia where cats are not allowed outside after 6:00 pm. Mercy, if they have laws like that for cats I wonder what the laws are like for children? In our town we have a 10:00 pm curfew for children but nothing for cats. I think I will bring that up to my council member next time I see him.
Time to go.
Be safe, be careful and have a nice day.

I think it's a great picture.
reminds me of that song "one eyed one horned flying purple people eater."
In this case - the purple would have to be an adjective of the people... since he is green.
that's a great photo for wordless wednesday. i'm truly sorry about your friend... or rather for the one's she has left behind. i know hos it is.. xo
we like to cuddle back to back .. and yet, we still like to turn around at times too though.
yes, i've heart about that australian law. cats have been a menace to native animal populations apparently. and, as a matter of fact, i try to keep my cats in at night too.
Well I am shocked! Talking about what happens in your bed at night. Geeeze!
I can just see having a curfew for cats. NOT. My cat goes out when HE wants to... and he comes in when HE wants to. When I call him he usually comes, and if he wants to stay out longer he just doesn't come when I call. And at times he will run past my feet and outside so fast I can't be sure he went... I was just coming in the door and thought I saw a flash.
As for the photo... yes, it would be great for Wordless Wednesday. There is no judging, and what you post for that doesn't even have to be your work. It can even be a cartoon or something.
I've had fun catching up on my reading here, and leaving you a sprinkle of comments. See you later, buddy.
Hi Tim ~~ Great photo and I am sure it would be suitable. Sorry at the loss of your friend. And I hope Cheryl has a really great birthday.
One of my daughters is 48 today, no wonder I feel old. I doubt you would find much in either Jen's or my blogs for church. Our love changes over the years, hell, we would be worn out if the first passion lasted forever.
There are many ways to show and share love. Take care Tim, Regards, Merle.
Hi Tim, Great photo of the dragonfly, So sorry to hear of your friends passing..
I agree whole heartly with your statement"The simple pleasures you enjoy at an older age are just as intimate but accomplished in a different manner"..
Hope you found something suitable on Merle's or my blog... Take care Tim... Jen
nice picture! the bedroom comments. LOL - I thinked that earned you an honest to goodness PG-13 rating. ;-) FYI - get a heated mattress pad and a King size bed, then you don't have to snuggle if you don't want to. it works for me. HE he..
LOVE THE PHOTO!
YOu know I love me some dragonflies, since I have them tattooed on my arm:)
Yes, I know what you mean about time changing people. I am sorry to hear about your friend. We just lost a friend early this morning also. Suddenly, she is gone and her memorial is in six days:( She left two teenaged kids. One is a friend of Jock's and Jock kept on repeating all day today that he doesn't know what his friend will do without his mother:(
Stay safe!
