The Secret To Feeling Really Young

How to Feel Really Young:

Have lunch with Aunti Fern, age almost 100; Aunt Naomi, age 103; and Naomi's sister, age 97.

(No photo. My camera is in the shop.)

That works in more ways than one... if your aunts are that age, you must have good long-lasting dna! :)

I once had a 106 year old man flirt with me. I don't know if it made me feel young or old! :-)

You're just a squirt in their eyes!!! I once had a octagenarian tell me after I dyed my hair dark brown (it turned out black) that I was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. I was in the grocery store. i really had a lot of compliments about that hair color. It was quite remarkable! ha ha

That's awesome. My two great Aunts are in their 100's too. My Grandpa, their baby brother, just took my family to go see them way deep in West Texas. They still live side by side in the small town they grew up in. They have lived as neighbors all their lives since marriage.

If genes are a predictor of the age you will achieve ... you are looking good.
Well ... you always look good.

I love the stories you have told about Aunty Fern (I am not sure if you have written about Aunty Naomi or if I have missed them). I know I feel younger when I spend time with older people. Unfortunately I usually feel old because I hang with teens and they are a constant reminder of how uncool I am (and apparently not too bright either):-).

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Invitation: Play Fun Monday on February 9

Image
Please join me next Monday as I host this weeks Fun. The subject: Show me in pictures or tell me in words what defines the place where you live. I want to leave the interpretation open to include any possibility. It could be a geographical phenomenon. For instance, when I was a child, the people who lived on our sloping hill could view the Olympic Mountain to the northwest and the majestic Mt. Rainier to the south east. It could be a man made monstrosity. Do you come home from a trip and the shadow of a skyscraper beckons you. Has the wind blowing from the feed lot given your small town a dusty or smelly reputation? Is there a college or university close by that seasonally changes the way your world operates? Or maybe a winter influx of retired snowbirds? Could it be the house at the left turn to the grocery store has turned into a junk yard? Did a famous person put your town on the map? Is there something about your neighborhood that makes it unique. Good or bad. I'm looking ...
