Anti-Aging Cream

-

I don't usually do a lot of family pictures but this is a picture of my oldest granddaughter, Rachel. She is fourteen. I had to work this weekend so we could not have all the little ones over. As she and her Papa can fend for themselves, she came alone.

After telling her she could use the face cleanser that was on the vanity in my bathroom, she brought it to me pointing out it was anti-aging cream. I told her it was still okay to use. Her response was, "But I don't want to look nine years old!"

If it were only that easy. Five years off with the use of cheap Dollar General facial cleanser.

    Her face is beautiful!! So natural and innocent..Oh to be that age again and know what I do now.. To tell the truth, I hardly used creams or make-up (eyes and mouth) until I was almost fifty. All the Italian women in our family had good skins and I figured it was the intake of olive oil in everything. I have never worn pancake of face powder. My skin is excellent at sixty seven. I also wet it at the sink when I am at home and leave the water to sink in. Again...a beautiful daughter, may God bless and protect her always. xx

    What a cutie pie....and yes I agree on the banks, jeez how many do we need? I have a theory on them, when you need them they are not around and when you don't need them they are banging on your door.

    I'm racing over to Dollar General. Rachel is a cutie, and at her age all I wanted to do was look older. Sigh!

    Oh yeah! I wish it did work like that! :-) Young people don't think they will ever age, too. My daughter and I were recently talking about how time just slips away!

    I'm glad you enjoy my posts. I do yours so much, as well! The beauty here is something you have to want to see, sometimes, I think. People visit and call it "barren" or "brown" but you have to be willing to find the beauty here. It isn't as obvious as it is where there are so many gorgeous old trees and gurgling streams. But, I find something interesting or beautiful every single day! It's like an adventure!

    Golly, to be young enough to believe what it says on the label!

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...

Happy Mothers Day

Somewhere there is a baby picture of me with my Mama and Daddy. They had me lying on a pillow in a straight backed kitchen chair outside Aunt Maggie's little house. They are both looking down on me and the photo does not show their faces. Of all these old pictures I have, I cannot find that one. It makes me sad. I can't find the picture of Greg and Cassie I have titled, "The Fish Story" either. So, instead I am showing a picture of my Mama with her Mama. Except Mama always had to call her Mother. She said she would not answer her unless she did. I always thought that strange as we never called her Grandmother. I don't know why Mama (and therefore me too) was so short. Grandma was fairly tall and Grandpa was a very large man. It is a funny thing about genetics, isn't it? I have uncles over six feet tall and my Daddy was only 5'7". And sometimes those blue eyes pop up in a family of brown eyed children.

A Salmon Pink and Grey Car?

This looks like a picture of my Mama's brother Bob. It may be her Uncle Glenn. I'm not sure who the girl is. I do not remember Mama saying she rode on a motorcycle with her brother but she did say she loved riding on her Uncle Glenn's motorcycle. Shortly before she passed away, she asked my husband to take her for a ride on his bike. She chickened out after we got there.  This picture of me and my OKC Grandma was taken at Lake Ludwig. I look like a little monkey up there. I wonder whose DeSoto that was? This is an Easter picture of us in front of an old salmon pink and grey Chevrolet car. This is the car my uncle would slide down into the floorboard in fear someone would see him in a pink car. SAID UNCLE This is not my "three words the whole bus ride to OKC Uncle." This is the one that took me to the movies one time. Although he did not actually stay in the theater with me, he did come back to pick me up. The movie was not quite ...
