The time in our doctor’s waiting room became unexpectedly enjoyable as we sat with an elderly lady and her family. No one had said much beyond “Good morning” till the elderly lady asked her daughter to push her closer so she could admire the ornaments on the tree Dr. Irby had so generously decorated for her patients’ pleasure. She laughed and said, “I am eighty-three years old. I’ve come all the way from chopping wood to people walking on the moon. Oh, I’ve chopped lots of wood.” As she talked on, she cackled as she told this one. “I’ve milked many a cow in my time, many a cow. I remember one time, I was ‘a milking two titties and a pig was ‘a sucking on the other side.” She had us all laughing along with her. We would have loved to spend the rest of the day with her. What a wonderful visit we had!

I was thinking today, about the wonderful thing blogging is, so boeta has a good record of his life and at times our life before him, and how I wished to have that of my parents and grandparents. So many stories die with them.

I need to write some stories passed down from my great-grandfather who was a Texas Ranger, a Confederate War Veteran and Union Prisoner of War. He was a hoot! I’ll work on that today! Thanks for reminder!
