~1964~

This photo was taken at my wedding shower back in 1964.

Does this photo bring back memories of things of a long time

ago, everywhere you look in this photo is a sign of the times. I

was looking at the corsage they got me to wear, it was pink and

red roses with white carnations I think, it was so pretty, My cousin

June is fixing her camera, look at the kind it is..One that takes

one of those big round bulbs...Look at the television set there

next to her... its a blonde wood cabinet and I bet if you could

see the brand name it would say Setchell Carlson..the same

as what my parents had, and I think was a very popular brand

back then. One of the first ones made lol...

A few days ago I put a picture here of my Aunt Lillian, in this

photo next to the television, the blonde, is my other cousin

June, and her mother my Favorite Aunt Lillian, much older

of course... Look at the old lamp between them with the

wide shade. I think my mother had one like that too..You can

see the legs of the folding card table chair I am sitting on...

and I think about where my skirt comes is about where my

left leg was amputated. I know it was just above the knee...

Its strange.. I try to remember where my knees were... and

Its kind of hard really, I cant be sure.I can pretty much guess,

but even if I think..and concentrate on where they really were,

I cant honestly say it would be accurate..strange..My right

stump is shorter, I know that by looking. but as far as can I

tell by feeling is the right one shorter .. no.. they feel like they

are the same length to me.. I know when I go to transfer that

the left is longer, because when I go to transfer onto my bed

I automatically start out with that stump since it is longer and

will give me more stability when I do scoot ahead to get onto

my bed or where ever I am transferring to...I know I do have

a good size sitting area..lol butt, I still do need the extra

that my stump gives me lol... :-)

I get that bottled water..its good for you.. and well.. I like Kool

Aid.. So what I do I get the Kool Aid that all you have to do is

mix water with it..and I do that..when I get a bottle of water I

put 2 scoops of the Kool Aid in..and shake..and I have kool

aid....Well I LOVE those Icee drinks from Burger King..So I

thought today, what If I put the bottle of Kool Aid into the

freezer and every so often go and shake it.. well.. I hit it just

right and talk about good.. It is just like the Icee from Burger

King.. lol.. :-) hey.. I WILL think of some thing lol...

Time to think of some food too.. I have some frozen ravioli

and meatballs..some spaghetti sauce..and well that sounds

good..Just put in the microwave and ok..time to hit publish,

race Dutch out to the kitchen and Say Nitey Nite ;-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya!!! and Thanks :-)

ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again....
