Sinks


My Granny had a high back sink in her kitchen.
I didn't think much of it when I was a kid.
I also didn't think much about the daisies outside her back door,
which happened to be a screen door.
OR, that the daises were under a clothes-line.
I probably even thought that my Granny would always be in her chair,
in the corner,
ripping up old shirts to make rag rugs,
watching Joker's Wild,
telling me I could get some Juicy Fruit gum from her can,
or telling me I could play with her glass wot-nots,
and her scarves and jewelery,
and the powder in her bathroom.
She sometimes had lavendar hair,
ate red jello and angel food cake
and drove funny cars.
She had lots of pillows and pens.
If you still have your Granny
give her a hug.
She won't always be there.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
