I noticed on Bill's website that there is a movie coming out about him. I knew someone in my hometown that had the AMC Gremlin. Hope you and Sherry have a great Labor Day!

I often think that song about picking yourself up and starting all over again is my theme song. I can see just fine, but that doesn't mean I haven't fallen a time or two. Both metaphorically and physically. Your aunt was a great lady for sure ! Hope you both are enjoying a nice Labor Day weekend!<br />I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-57991379281807825012015-09-07T00:06:21.105-04:002015-09-07T00:06:21.105-04:00Your Aunt Georgia had a great attitude and an inde...Your Aunt Georgia had a great attitude and an independent streak for wanting to do things herself. I think if one is determined, one can adapt to a disability like this and be pretty high functioning; seems like Aunt Georgia displayed that determination!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-88441241436934209902015-09-06T22:26:35.733-04:002015-09-06T22:26:35.733-04:00Excellent post.

That's pretty neat about how your Aunt Georgia taught herself not to make the same mistake again; plus - blind or not - being sure to get right back up again.<br /><br />Too, I think it's neat how the 'little guy' that you were referred to his Aunt Georgia as "ma'am." That's something my son and DIL instilled in their girls from an early age. (Not so sure it 'took' with Chloe, but I liked that they - and their friends - were taught respect at home.)

I try to get John to do some of these tricks like putting his finger in the edge of the glass so that he doesn't run it over with that sticky diet soda. I guess he knows I'm always there to clean it up. I bought an owl napkin holder that his glass case fits perfectly in. If he would always put them in it when he takes them off he could always find them.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.com
