Today's Letter from Harrisburg is about change.
And today is Emily's 18th birthday. You can visit this amazing daughter of mine here.
Quote of the Day:
"Ah can ah-dentifah with thaaat!"
--Julia from Mississippi, referring to the story about Ben and Steven picking and spilling the blackberries. She has never met me but reads my blog, and was driving up Interstate 5 the other day while on a Western Trip with her husband and remembered a story about us living by the freeway and called to find out which was our house. We moved out of that house some years ago, so I couldn't wave at her, but we had a nice chat anyway.
Actually, Aunt Julia's quote needs no special spelling. The "other" pronunciation would be spelled: "I-ee can i-eedentifi-ee with that." :-)
ReplyDeleteOh change, where is thy sting?
ReplyDeleteReally, the line about your boys pelting you with strawberries as middle-aged men made me laugh out loud. There are such people who would prefer that.
My sister had a shock in school this year. She was sitting in class when she received a text from our mom. She couldn't believe it but when she came home Mom was quite pleased with herself. Not bad for a 68 year old grandma to figure out on her own.
I hate change too. I didn't want a microwave. I could boil water on the stove just fine. But my look-ahead husband came home with the super model. Sigh. I also remember enthusiastically pointing out cows on a family drive and getting the same "no response" from my son who used to just love looking at the wildlife along the highways. Sigh again. Jan
