More Memories

It has taken me quite some time to get on the computer this morning due to my fingers not wanting to cooperate.  They are like ice and I kept making mistakes.  That sure takes the fun out of typing with all the stops and gos.  Gos, is that even a word?  Maybe it should be goes but my fingers aren't going anywhere.

I've mentioned my little Granny a number of times in my blog and this morning I was lucky enough to come across this picture.  It's only about seventy years old.  That's Granny holding my cousin Ray on her lap and me standing beside them.  In a dress no less.  I wonder how long I kept that clean?

While at my aunt's house Sunday, she brought me two lovely pins I had given Granny for gifts when we were in Germany.  One I will wear with my turtle neck sweaters. The other will be for dressy occasions.  Huh, when do I ever go anywhere to dress up!  With orthopedic shoes, it sure doesn't give me the incentive to do other than wear longer dresses, denim, of course.

I need to stay focused today so I'm not all over the place.  That seems to be how I work now, as the thought occurs.  That gets me in trouble at times. Sometimes it leads to happy and funny memories which really are a treat instead of dwelling on aches and pains and what is to be.  I have it in my mind that after surgery, I will be able to do things I haven't been able to do for years.  Like jump rope for exercise.  Now that's quite a stretch but I keep reaching in my mind.

I need to start a stew that was supposed to be done yesterday. I promised it would be made today and hopefully, it will last a few days instead of disappearing as the chili did.  I made enough to freeze but they kept eating it so the pan was empty before I knew it. So, it's off the machine and on to the stew.

You all have a wonderful day and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.
