This month has been the fun stuff of life, weddings, showers, births and birthdays. This weekend I went to my Red Aunt’s 90
th birthday
party. At 90, she is still as spunky as her legs allow her to be. I was sitting
at the end of the table eating birthday cake with her…. “How did you talk them
into letting you leave the assisted living home for several hours today Auntie?”
I asked. She waved a dismissive hand, shrugged
and said… “Oh,they’ve gotten where they pretty much let me come
and go as I
please.”
I laughed and then I took the opening
and walked right on in. “Yeah, that’s what I hear.”
I said with my eyebrows cocked and a big grin
on my face….
She gave me that big ole
shocked look she has, slapped at my hand and laughed….
“You heard that about did you?”

for it, striking out across the pasture which backs up to the facility. Half
way through the pasture they called out to her… “Doris,
is that you?” She looked over her shoulder than picked up speed. When they got
her back to her room she acted like nothing had happened when my cousin arrived
to investigate. She’s a sly one for sure.
We had a head banging good day… The good part
was intentional, the head banging was not.
