A GOOD MEMORY FROM THE PAST

MY VERY DEAR FRIEND  JUST SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE LITTLE BABY GIRL WHO ONCE WAS MY WORLD AND HER NEW BABY BOY. SHE IS NOW 24 YEARS OLD HAVING JUST HAD A MARCH BIRTHDAY LIKE ME. SHE LOOKS SO STEADY AND MATURE AND MOTHER LIKE WELL MADONNA LIKE IS MORE LIKE IT.

THE MEMORIES I HAVE STORED OVER THE YEARS I HOPE TO SUSTAIN ME IN THE YEARS TO COME, AS YOU AGE YOUR MEMORIES BECOME  MORE CLEAR THAN YOUR PRESENT YOUR SHORT RANGE MEMORY IS COMPROMISED AND LONG TERM  TAKES OVER. I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY WE REGRESS TO BABYHOOD AS WE AGE.

I HAVE MET MANY OLDER PEOPLE HERE IN THE REHAB PROGRAM  AND THEY ALL HAVE SO MANY SAD TALES TO TELL, I GUESS THAT IS WHY I PREFER YOUNGER PEOPLE TO HANG OUT WITH THEY TALK FUTURE OLD FOLKS TALK PAST.

I AM TRYING TO LOOK AT FUTURE STUFF.

YESTERDAY AND OLD FRIEND AND HER SON CAME FOR A VISIT THE SON IS 39 YEARS OLD AND HAS A HEART VALVE PROBLEM LIKE ME ONLY MORE SERIOUS HE MUST HAVE A PROCEDURE DONE ON HIS HEART ON WEDNESDAY AND NEEDED A PLACE TO RECUPERATE AFTER THE SURGERY SO HIS MOM AND I  WILL HAVE HIM AND HER STAY HERE UNTIL HE CAN TRAVEL.

IT IS NO BURDEN AS WE HAVE 2 SPARE BEDROOMS AND THEY ARE COMFORTABLY FURNISHED  AND WE HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO HIM AS HE CANT STAND HEAT. THIS WILL REQUIRE MY HUBBY TO WEAR MORE CLOTHES AS HE IS ALWAYS TOO COLD IN AIR COND ROOMS AND I AM ALWAYS TOO HOT WE STRUGGLE ALL SUMMER WITH MY LOWERING THE THERMOSTAT AND HIS RAISING IT.  HE STATES HE LOVES TO COOK BUT HE WILL NOT BE COOKING MUCH AS HE WILL BE GETTING WELL. AND I SUPPOSE HIS MOM WILL PROVIDE HIM WITH FOODS SHE CONSIDERS SAFE.

I WILL COOK AS I USUALLY DO WHAT WE EAT WHICH IS NAMBY PAMBY STUFF WITH OCCASIONAL BURSTS OF DELICIOUS COOKERY. I DO ENCHILADAS AND  SPAGHETTI

AND SALADS AND FRUIT SALADS  AND HOT DOGS NOW AND THEN ABOUT EVERY OTHER MONTH. I MAKE WONDROUS OMELETTES WITH VEGGIES AND  CHEESES

ANYWAY'S I'M OK WITH THE WHOLE THING I EXPECT ILL GET ON THEIR NERVES BEFORE THEY GET ON MINE HAHAH.

MY SON AND HIS WIFE CAME TO VISIT SATURDAY AND  SHE IS ON HER WAY TO HER HOMELAND FOR A 3 MONTH VISIT.

I WONDER HOW THAT'LL WORK OUT? IF I LEFT FOR 3 MONTHS I WOULD WORRY THAT MY HOUSE WAS STILL STANDING AND WE DIDNT HAVE 3 HOMELESS BUMS MOVED IN WHILE I WAS GONE. HAHAH

YOU KNOW DAD FOLKS.... NEED I SAY MORE?
