Wow! Sorry for the months of silence. Being gone so long reflects a couple of realities for me. First, how fast time is flying by for me at this age and stage of life. It's so funny. A person thinks they'll have so much time to do everything when they get older, so they put things off until then, but what they don't know is that it very literally feels like days only last a few hours. Get up, turn around twice, it's bedtime. Click, click, click.
The other reality is that I thought (as I left the last post leading into Chris's birth), I'll just go downstairs and find a bunch of baby pictures of him and put them up in a day or two. Instead, I (truthfully) pulled every box out and searched and could find nothing of his. Then, after several weeks of that had slipped by, and I was at my wit's end, as the saying goes, I was looking through yet one more box, and lo and behold, . . . nope, I didn't find pictures, but I did find an large manilla envelope from Diana. In it were pictures NOT of Chris, and a note from her saying, "Mom, We found these in Chris's picture box and thought you might want them back." And THEN!!! THEN I remembered I had given Chris and Diana ALL of Chris's pictures (a whole box full) when they had moved out-of-state the last time.
So, I got hold of them and they had to start looking--bless their hearts--having just gone through a move and having so much of their stuff packed away in a storage unit. But, Diana went to the storage unit and found some pictures!! Yay, Diana!!
Then it took me another month to get back to figuring out how to post things here--not hard, but I had forgotten my password, and then I had to figure out how to transfer the pictures from my email program to another format or something like that. I don't know the lingo and I'm terrible at anything on computer except the most basic word-processing. And even there, MS-WORD has me down for the count, 1/2 the time.
Is your mother getting old? Yep!! But, the truth is, I've always been a "butter-fly brain," drifty dreamer type, and not much on bee-line organizational skills.
So, here we go again . . .
Mom (me)
