Snippets of Life

A snipping of scissors
The hum of the trimmer
The hollow sound of an AM radio
Idyll chatter
Kids, grandkids
The weather
A quick trim of thinning hair
Melancholy moments revisited
No appointments necessary
Just walk in 
Sit down
Relax
    …And wait

Love the last two words. They seem to always get their way, don't they?!

Sometimes things come to mind unbidden. Some good; some we’d rather not pay us a visit but I’ve not yet found a way to keep them at bay. Two for two good ones today, John.

The old saying from my Army days...hurry up and wait.
