Charcuterie, I give all people and objects new names.
Perlotta, Bernaious, Tetanus, Squiddly, TrudyBell, Worm, Leigh Leigh, and the list is long.
Neighbors growing up, Ladies were first name or Aunt Dot! No relations. Willa Mae, Jean, Patsy, some men too Tom, Arthur, Homer, Doug. The "sir "and "mam"
thing, did not sit with me. I knew at age 4 that we had lost the war, give up some of this stuff. We often, and still do call cousins by both names, Nicky Brown, Tommy Simmons, Tommy Blackman, Mike Ross, Jane Anders, ( sometimes leave off married names!! Some friends have many names, Brooks Anne, B.A., Bird Woman.
Now in my young seventies, I am even more freely calling things whatever comes through the word center in my brain, and hope for the best. Now you have to get on board, when I use one word to describe a movie, book, food, and I am so happy.
Me to Bill, " What was the name of that movie, with the blonde guy in it?" " There was water and birds, or ducks, or swans?" " I'm not sure you even saw it?" " Well, he is in a new movie, I want to see". Bill replied, " What Channel? " Softly I speak, " I don't know, I cannot even remember his name." I tell him its ok, let me get a sip of water. " Blondie from, The Notebook!!" Bill, " You want to see the Notebook?" " Oh for the love of Jesus, NO, what is Ry Rys name?"
Ageing gracefully, nada.
Mothers Day, Bill had all my blogs put into two volumes of books. Published my fantastic thoughts, words and deeds. For about 14 years, blogging away, was a therapy tool for giant, on the floor, grief. Then it continued to just be a diary of such, daily life, that for some reason I just wanted to put down, and I did. 700 pages in first book, 400 in second, I told my kids, that all he really needed to do was print the titles!! That is a book on its on, I was howling laughing at the Titles, and I cherish them. Some of you may have even given me the title, you will not be be receiving any money, for the books are only published for me, one copy, Reese Witherspoon and Orah may get the PDF file, you never know?? You always had the ruby slippers on, you can read all my old blogs, on my blog, just go to each year.
So, I put these huge books on the dining room table to read, and so much heartache and laughter,
engulfs me. I remember each word, the way my body felt while writing them. Life is hard, you just have to work with it. My Father, Homer Blackman, Sonny, Daddy, Pop Pop, gave me my sense of humor, and for that I am so grateful. Adaptation is real, or you are stuck in past mistakes and heartaches. Thank you to all whom have been a huge part of my life and may or may not be in a blog or two or twenty. Just this past year, number 2 child, Brian wanted to know when he would make it into my blog!!! I felt like he has been in a few, but I will check. Some may not have liked all that I have said, and that's OK. Your choice to read or not read, there is no Ban on my blog, But don't share with that Governor of Florida, what's his name?? De Santa Maria?? Del La Bad hair dye.
A few weeks back, I woke up at 5am, a little late for me, dropped a tiny red pill on the floor, ugh!! I will never find that. I found it with my foot, and picked it up with my foot!! Very skilled and happy.
5:10 am found a lost natural sponge for painting, that I have been looking for a long time. Count me happy!!
5:30 light comes on, Thank you Alexa, for being in charge of all the lights in the house!! Plus, Plus.
