Memories stir from a visual glance at the past. I pulled out the tarnish proof box that holds my good silver flatware in preparation for our Christmas Eve traditional celebration dinner. In 1976 just two hundred years after the nation of the United States was established, it was the custom to select a set of …
Rejection and unworthiness have been my reality for 65 years. From husbands to family to friends, I have carried a lifetime of events that spoke to me saying I never measured up to expectations or I was simply not worth the effort for someone to love me in a way that meant something (to me.) …
Life and Times of Polly Jo PerryWarrenfelt – Riddell almost Tomlinsonwriting as G. Polly Jordan 11-25-1956 Note: This is a work in progress. I would not have posted it before it was complete unless I thought there was a chance I might die first. On January 1, 2023 I went to the ER and it …

Flat Stanley arrived at Polly’s house in Indianapolis, Indiana on Friday, October 29, 2021. He was sent from Polly’s Florida family in Lake Placid to see what life is like in Indiana.
