Trinkets From the Past

My favorite necklace. When I was a kid, I used to collect items with butterflies on them. I believe this necklace was from that era, but I don’t remember how I got it. It’s something I wear all the time, and I’m thankful for it 🙂

I like your butterfly. I thought of you when I bought a pair of earrings recently. They are shaped like butterflies.

I’d love to see a pic of them. On you 🙂

I’ll try to remember to get a pic of the new earrings. Tomorrow is cooking day. Connie is bringing something for the Thanksgiving dinner, but I don’t know what. Nathaniel is going to make rolls and cook the turkeys (two turkey breasts).

My Aunt Anne’s Wonderful Posts

Grandsons

We spent half a day with grandson David before driving to pick up grandson Nathaniel in the evening. How blessed we are to have these young men in our lives! David, John, and I drove to Carver’s Apple Orchard. We enjoyed the mostly golden leaves on the mountainsides. The restaurant on the premises was full! […]

Autumn Items

We are beginning to have colorful trees near our home, but I haven’t found an arresting view yet. I stopped to take a photo of a burning bush we pass on our walk. This is the first year I noticed it has red berries. The leaves are getting redder and should be more dramatic in […]

Trains, Sandwich Tongue, and Hangup in the Creek

Grandson David took a few vacation days to go to the train club with John. He knows people there and was pleased to spend time with two men named Bob from the Long Island club, shown here with their steam engines and John between them. I liked David’s photo of a few of the trains […]

Goodbye, Sadie

Sadie, Rose’s dog, has gone to live with Rose in Tennessee. Oh! How quiet the house is! We have no barky alert when someone comes down the street. There is no auto-vacuum in the kitchen or under the dining table. We miss our walking partner on a leash. Sadie’s favorite place in the bedroom was […]

England 40 Years Ago — October 19, 1980

The most fun part of our week was having Aunt Val and Uncle Haakon staying with us. They flew into Heathrow from Oslo and caught a bus that brought them right into Reigate. I checked the bus stop every 15 minutes, and we met with no trouble. [That must have been the truth, because I […]

Sadie Loves Water

Son John $pencer talked about Sadie’s liking water. When he and Rose would hike near streams and waterfalls, Sadie was always eager to get wet. We found that she liked the run-off from a neighbor’s French drain. I would not have wanted to splash through that cold water barefooted. It was amusing to watch the […]

Hunting with Sadie

Perhaps Sadie saw it first, but I became aware of a cricket hopping across the bedroom carpet. I like crickets. I like singing crickets, but not at night in my bedroom. I picked up a small paper cup I keep on the computer desk for catching unwanted critters. As I moved toward the cricket, Sadie […]

Logan and Sadie

I decided to take Sadie for a walk late in the afternoon, hoping to add another mile to my total. Walking, even at my pace, would be good for this high-energy dog. It might have been a humdrum outing, but I heard running footsteps behind me, and there was Logan (10)! He asked if he […]

Still Only One Candle!

Yesterday was son John $pencer’s birthday. I used several of the photographs from his first birthday 40 years ago in a blog post, but I didn’t use the one showing him with his birthday cake. I liked the-deer-in-the-headlights pose. He agreed to a non-flash photo this time around, and his smile was my reward. I […]

England 40 Years Ago — October 12, 1980

Here I am again after a wonderful visit with my folks. It was so good to have people to share son John $ with, to have help in the kitchen, buffers for the war zones between the girls, and to catch up on all the news that somehow never gets written. The only disaster during […]
