Dear - I forgot your name!
Many thanks for your note received yesterday.
My letter to you will shock you! I am never lonely anymore
for I have four men in my life now. Because we are such close friends,
please keep this confidential.
I get up each morning with Charley Horse,
and spend all day with Arthur Ritis.
I dine with Will Power and go to bed with Ben Gay.
Everything Is so much farther away now than it used to be.
It is twice as far to the corner store now than it used to be.
And they have added a hill, I noticed.
I have given up running for the bus. I can never catch the dang thing anymore; it leaves much faster than it used to.
Also, I swear they're making
stairs much steeper than in the good old days
By the way have you noticed how much smaller the print
they are using in the newspaper now?
And there is no sense asking people to read aloud to me;
as everyone speaks in such a low voice, I can hardly hear them.
The material in clothes is so skimpy now,
especially around the hips and waist.
It's almost impossible to reach my shoe laces.
The sizes of clothing don't run the way they used to;
everything is so much smaller.
Even people are changing;
they are much younger than they used to be when I was their age.
On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am!
I ran into an old friend of ours the other day. remember - oh dear,
I forgot her name.
She has aged so much she didn't even recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this
morning and in so doing I glanced at my reflection in the mirror.
You know, they don't even make good mirrors like they used to.
Do have a good day, dear.
Love,
Me.
Had to inject a little humor! Forgive me?

hmmmphhhh...NOW you know what I look like
first thing in the morning!
You got it...I'm NOT a morning person!
On the positive side, I'm smiling 8-)

Christmas in our house...

My Front Porch
Summer 2002
I had to include this photo because it is
so much a favorite place for me to sit and
do my needlework...
the two big containers with the smaller container between them
hold my white roses - the smallest container hold yellow mini-roses....
elves, sprites and angels are hiding among the
plants and flowers on the porch....and just to be
different - an albino alligator - ok, ok, an unpainted
ceramic gator...shssh...the wings of
an angel wind-chime my husband built for me
can be seen at the corner of the porch above
the white roses...the chimes represent the strings of a harp...
just beautiful!
