I Miss This Porch With Stay at Home Days, I miss a good front porch. I spent a lot of time playing on this porch, as a kid in Grinnell, Iowa. Now I'd love to sit on a front porch just like this and wave over to my neighbors. Little Porch People don't sit on porches much around here. But I do use my little porch. I've cleared out lots of stuff during all this home time. I recently put a few boxes on the porch for a "HAP" donation pick up. Oops! As you can see, a UPS box was delivered and placed in front of all my boxes. That could have been a big problem, when the donation truck arrived. Luckily and not luckily, the UPS package didn't get "donated". The donation truck failed to come, so I lugged those boxes back inside. Deliveries We had another problem on the porch recently. Our Blue Apron meal prep box, arrived damaged. The box was wet and torn. One of the ice packets broke and most of the goods had to be tossed. That was not a fun surprise. Yum! Our little porch has handled many porch goodies during pandemic days. We've had grocery deliveries and restaurant deliveries. This Black Bear Diner bag, was left on the porch on a Sunday morning. It wasn't a surprise, but it was surprisingly good! Don and I pretended we were at a diner having breakfast. It was delicious. If we'd had a big front porch we would have eaten it on the porch! Message on the Porch Nobody comes onto our porch these days, except delivery folks. UPS guys, the mail carrier occasionally and a rare food delivery. I don't know these people and I don't see them, but I made a sign the other day. I just wanted to share a message in a tiny way. I don't know if anyone has noticed.
Maybe I'll make a different message each week. Yes, I'm going to work on a new sign, since this one is falling apart.

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer - Covid I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done. On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me. Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200! Archives
