Frumps And Frogs

October 25, 2010

It's gray and damp outside today. I think (I know) I'm coming down with a nasty cold. Too little sleep and eating on the run can do that. Today I will have to start taking in lots of vitamin C and orange juice.

Yesterday was a busy day, making arrangements and picking out outfits for me and my brother. Everything I tried on made me look like a short frump in the mirror. Gosh, I AM a short frump, but I'm still expecting to see some adorable sleek lady when I look in the mirror. Go figure! Is everybody else like that? I should know by now that a frog only looks like a prince to his princess.

I have been rambling lately, going from one subject to another before finishing with the first one. Hopefully, this will clear up in a few days. I have been remembering lots of things from the past. I remember how, when we were little kids, my brother would pick a fight with a bigger boy, and hide behind me, taunting the other boy with "Ha ha, go ahead and hit me. My big sister will beat you up." Then, just a few years later it was "Hurt my sister, Man, and you're dog meat!!" Don't you just love it?

Yesterday, Janet and I took a small break for some lunch at Wendy's. Afterward, we fed a bit of food to the seagulls and crows. When the food was gone, we noticed this one crow who had found himself quite a treasure and had taken it up to the power wires to sit and enjoy it. Except -- it takes a while to figure out how to hold on to the treasure, and be able to eat it too. Here are some of the photos I took.

Back to my schedule here, today I have to finish getting the information ready for the newspapers, and put together a picture board. Unless things change, the wake will be Wednesday night 5-8 pm, and Thursday morning we will go to Bourne (Veterans' Cemetery) and have a short service there. For those who did not know, my brother went into the Army when he was sixteen years old, and was sent to Korea for two years.

I need to give Tootsie her morning meds now, and get busy here. There is so much to do, and I have so many wonderful folks to thank for all the prayers and thoughts that are being sent. I want to thank all of you. It is so comforting to know that you care. Y'all have a wonderful day now.

Hugs, Edna B.
