That is such a beautiful memory. In regards to feelings of love and security, it really sounds like your grandmother stepped up where your mother fell short.
Sounds like such a wonderful evening! Glad you're feeling better!
Oh gawd, those are hilarious!!! Great commentary!
Great quote.
Lucky kitties... even though hobbie doesn't seem to grateful.
Oh, I love your Santa stories...
I like how you're obsessively checking your temperature. Just like a man..... a dying man that is, of course. Get well.
Great post! This post really resonated with me this morning... I've been kinda bummed out the last couple of days for no good reason, except that I've been letting all these little insignificant pet peeves get to me way more than usual. So before I got out of bed, I said them all aloud, identified why they bug me, and then let them go (for the most part). I think I'm feeling better now because when I think about it, none of them really amount to more than a hill of beans.
Wonderful pictures!! I'm glad it worked this time and you were able to post them. A picture says a thousand words, and these ones seem to say that you really live your life to the fullest. Thanks for sharing.
I call them built-in friends. Sometimes you just have to learn to accept them, or make other plans....(or feign sick.)
That's incredible! Stuff like that just makes my heart soar. Did you ever see the one about the tortoise who adopted the orphaned baby hippo after that huge tsunami a few years ago? Seems the human race can learn a thing or two from the animal kingdom about unconditional acceptance and love.
I always find it interesting to see what kinds of ads pop up on my posts. The gal who does my nails used to advertise her services on Facebook, but she told me that the less clicks you generate, the more you have to pay per click, so it totally wasn't worth it. I never thought of that before. I guess I should try to be a more considerate surfer.
I'm so glad you slammed that a$$hole "accidentally on purpose" When you were writing about businesses with names on their trucks, all I kept thinking is "crap, I hope it's not Midtown Cleaners." My Uncle owns it, and if he almost ran you over, I do apologize. And finally, wasn't there a movie in the 80's where the kid found their mother's vibrator, and they told her it was for cleaning your ears. I think Steve Martin might've been in it....
I think you look great.
Ugh... Thanksgiving traffic sounds brutal! Well, happy Wednesday - you're halfway to the weekend.
