Have you ever read a story with your name in it? I'm currently reading a JA Jance novel, and one couple has the same names as my real aunt and uncle, including their last names. And the child in the story relating to the couple is Christopher Anthony, also same last name, which are the names of my two nephews who are brothers.
Its a strange and spooky feeling!!
Another odd end is mom, who is my never ending source of oddities! She sends Chriatmas cards, which means she gets them in return. She had me buy her some cards so she could reply to the ones she received. Most of them are from family, and she hasn't sent out any cards except one, to my dad's cousin's wife she hasn't seen in over six years.
The third odd end came up yesterday. I was visiting Mom and my cousin Karen, who visits mom once a week or so asked if it was a good day to visit. When mom told me, I said good, I'll take off so you two can visit. And Mom said I'll tell her no, cuz I'd rather have you here. Mom, I said, if someone else is going to visit with you, I'll leave so I can get some things done. *sigh*
Little things tend to pile up, and the pile just keeps growing. Singularly, they are just odds and ends. But they can be overwhelming!
A neighbor is mowing his lawn. That was my chore growing up from 1970-1977!! Fresh cut grass .... great smell!
