(tonight’s cars are from the year 1923)
Those are two words and thoughts us older folk do not like. A day or so ago I was digging for our water line to do some major work on our service to the Motor Home. I located a black pipe my mind said ‘waterline’.. it was curving to the right. So I stopped being careful and plunged the shovel in beside the black pipe. Immediately I knew I had forgotten. there were two black pipes I had run in the same ditch. I knew I had forgotten because I had hit THE WATER line and water went everywhere. Immediately I remembered two black pipes one with the power line an done with the water.
It just took me a minute to realize I was fortunate, it could have been the power. Point is, I had forgotten a very important thing.
Not long ago I drove the motor home off with the jacks down, I forgot to raise them. Then on another day I drove the motor home off with the TV antenna raised and I had forgotten to lower it.
After hitting the water line above, I took off to Lowes for the plumbing stuff I needed and lo and behold at Lowes I realized I had forgotten my wallet.
I am wondering what else have I forgotten. I am accumulating too many ‘I forgots’ methinks. Nah, it couldn’t be age. Just probably too much on my mind, huh? I would rather think that than to think I have lost a few cards from the deck.
I think I will look on the bright side….Fortunately, I haven’t forgotten Sherry’s birthday or our anniversary lately.
I forgot what else I was going to say, so I will say good nite Gracey.

One more 1923 Auto.
At a 1923 Science fair, the above was a predicted drawing of a 1973 car.
This is a 1923 Rolls Royce
Looking on the bright side is the good thing to do when you forgot something: good is was not the power line, good that you've remembered the birthdays and anniversaries.
ReplyDeleteWow. A miss swipe with that shovel could've spoiled your whole day.
ReplyDelete... Sorry. That sounded flippant, didn't it? This gave me goosebumps, imagining your near miss.
Speaking of forgetting things, I fell asleep early on the couch last night w/o pausing to leave a comment. I've never tried canned salmon, but I'm curious. More than likely, it's what's for breakfast tomorrow. :)
PS - That 'futuristic' car of 1973 cracks me up!
I think it's just an overload of info in our brain too. Yeah, that sounds good let's go with that. :-D Hi from up here!Sheila
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll have to do a check list for the motor home with all that needs to be done with it before you drive off so all can be accomplished and checked off the list. I know without a list for shopping these days we do tend to forget a lot ourselves :)

I forget stuff all the tome, but this is nothing new for me. Forgetting Sherry's birthday or anniversary would be tragic :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always trying to look on the bright side here for sure. And I do tend to have some of my best laughs when laughing at myself when I forget things too. Sometimes it's not till the next day that I remember what I wanted to do the day before. Like Betty, I do make a lot of lists and would be lost without my calendar.
ReplyDeleteThe little red car gave you lots of entertainment and I bet he was having fun showing off. I noticed you had a visitor from Leander. I wonder if it was my daughter. She lurks on my blog and lives at Leander, Texas. Good luck to Sherry with her eye procedure.
ReplyDeleteA few senior moments here or there are no big deal. You just got anxious and were in a hurry. Slow down next time.
