I wish I could fill the page with this photo. It was so lovely, and this is a sunrise! Sweet Oklahoma...
Ah but it has been hot...
Meanwhile I cool my heels going to garage sales as often as I can fit them in. A week ago I made it out of town into the countryside and found an estate sale. I asked if they had any sewing related items - YES! A huge plastic storage container full of magazines, patterns, recipes and just a little of everything. Sooo...that went home with me. It actually had to be loaded into my car with a dolly - it was so heavy! It was a total mess - things just tossed in and it has taken me over a week to sort and organize and toss.
But this is something that I want to share and will send hard copies to my family because I think it is hilarious. It was hand written on a now raggedy and stained piece of paper. (I bet someone else thought it was pretty funny, too, and read it more than once!)
Some Times Life Is Tough
I've gotten used to my arthritis. My dentures I've resigned.
I can manage my bifocals but, Lord I miss my mind.
Just a line to say I'm living and not among the dead
but I'm getting more forgetful and I'm mixed up in my head.
Sometimes I can't remember when I stand at the foot of the stairs
if I'm going up for something, or if I've just come down from their.
And before the frig so often, my poor mind fills with doubt
whether I've just put something in or just come to to take it out.
So if it's my turn to write or call, there's no need in getting sore
I may think I've already done so, and don't want to be a bore.
But nevertheless I do love you - and wish that you were here
but now it's nearly mailtime so I'll say good-bye my dear.
As I stood before the mail box, with my face so red
instead of mailing you this letter - I opened it instead.
But, hey, maybe that isn't so important as long as we remember to look up and still enjoy the beauty of life (as I am sure the author of this little peice did with such a wonderful sense of humor!).
