Catches your eye (No not the joke)

(This is a replacement entry, don’t you hate it when you lose a WHOLE entry!  you just cannot remember all the brilliant things you have said and lost. LOL)

I have said may times I love our screen saver. We use the pictures on the hard drives as our screen savers. Both computers are displaying our lives past and present. (Along with hundreds of old cars, ha)

I forget them many times when we have company. So the subject came up rather quickly when we sold the Camaro. I had a Notary do a house call to witness the sale. So we were here at our Motorhome table, when the buyer suddenly says, “That is the biggest tree I have ever seen, where is it?”

I looked at the picture and said:

“That is a Live Oak on the banks of Lake Griffin in Florida.”

I forget it at times that our lives pass before all our visitors. When the family is here many time we just watch as they scroll and randomly pick up pictures.  Comments abound. “That is me when I was 5”, “I remember that!” or “Where were you when that was taken Grandma?”

So this morning when I saw this one pass by I couldn’t help remembering the day, a day or two after my 17th birthday:

(Me second from the right, front row)

I guess I do at times wish I was 17 again, back when I ‘thought’ I was grown. I was leaving HOME here, gonna spread my wings. I had no idea how homesick I would get only a couple hundred miles away on Parris Island. LOL

That picture was followed by this one:

Me in my ‘overhauls’ in mama’s chicken lot. Yeah that is Shirl on the left and Kat in the middle (my sweet sisters).

This was about the time Shirl taught me to ride a bicycle, we had one.

Just thinking back. The older I get the more I do that.

Thanks for coming by the log.

PS:

Yeah, we sold the Camaro.  I buy high and sell lo. We are planning to get rich on VOLUME sales. LOL
