Ron's Rhododendron
My brother in law is back in the hospital...bless his heart. This a flower he planted last summer when he was in relatively good health. Although I really have no idea what it is, I am calling it a rhododendron.
Happy Birthday Baby Sister
Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o

ReplyDeleteI sure hope your brother-in-law gets well soon! Hope he goes home very soon and can see his wonderful flower while it is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt is spring break over here this week as well. The grands are loving it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion about visiting the Orange Coast. We had it on our agenda...but after we left Louisiana a cool front came through...so we decided to spend our extra days in Florida later...where it was bound to be warmer (and it was!). We so enjoyed the gulf coast...and the beautiful beaches.
Great swimsuits!
