Things I miss

 Pic of the day;

My Dad and Mom about 1943 after Granny Lloyd's funeral. Mama's mama

 

 For today:

This is a big subject, but the other day I was thinking of my brother-in-law Vernon.  He was a great guy and had what to me was a mischievous grin, my brother Odis also had one. Somehow that look made me smile inside.  I miss seeing that.

I miss hearing words in a song that are easily understood. Son Mark wanted to buy Sherry a pair of shoes for her BD, so we went shopping. It seems every store had that  BOOM, BOOM BOOM LOUD music.  I had to leave one store it was too much for me.  Yeah, I know that is the sign of the times and today’s music, but it is not nice to my ears.  LOL I miss soothing music. On the ship in my section I played what was called back then ‘Airline Tapes’. Music actually played on planes during flights, before the use of screens and movies.

I miss the choice of two or three brands, such as Cereals. I am shocked at the almost hundred choices of breakfast cereals. LOL  Confused?  Yep!

I really miss seeing American cars and KNOWING the make and year.

I am smiling as I think, I really miss a body that did not hurt when I laid down and got up. LOL  I did not think my body would ever meet “Author Ritus!”  but it has. ;-O

I miss using change, I forget to put some in my pocket before going out to a store. We have a collection around here.

I sure miss gasoline at $.29 9/10 a gallon.

I miss leather shoes.

I miss being young, like 62 years old. (don’t smile!)

I miss not knowing words, I draw a blank when I am talking to friends all the time now.

This was taken the same day as the sad one above, but later sitting in the yard, they were never down for long.  I remember mostly smiles in our house.

Of course more than anything, I miss Daddy and Mama, and all my brothers and sisters. So much I did not learn from Daddy and Mama, I wish I had asked more and paid more attention.

Love y’all
