Well, I know it has been a while without my witty comments but I have no humor today. I am writing as a record to help remember in case I start to forget as we always do.
My grandmother passed away yesterday. I can't say I've been sitting around all day reminicing because the truth is I wasn't very close to her. However, the memories I have should be cherished so I wanted to record them before they are forgotten.
So this is it, my list of memories, good and bad
I remember....
a tube of lipstick that smelled like flowers
fake pearls made of plastic that kids play with, the kind where the individual beads pop apart with a snap
the old cupboard that smelled like gingerbread and woods
Dr. Seuss books, it seemed like hundreds of them
gift wrapping at the mall
purple hair
cross stitched kittens in a purple frame (my favorite color as a child)
photo calendars with horrible pictures of me
copper colored baking molds hanging on the wall
magnets from around the world
making chocolate lollipops for my uncle's wedding
the circus, beauty and the beast on ice, and some horrible ice show about a train
seven useless Hannukah presents like plastic clappers, pencils, and chocolate coins
plastic protected leg rests on the couch
wood paneling
not driving on highways
matzo ball soup with noodles
an automatic trash can
a cruise to mexico
I know my list is short for 28 years of memories but it contains everything important.
