She wouldn't be able to walk without tipping over.

The last time I saw you, you didn't know who I was. I think you knew dad, so I guess I wasn't alive long enough before you couldn't remember anymore. You called me "Betty" the whole time. I must look more like mom with brown hair.

I think that if we had the chance, we would have gotten along really well. I think you would have been proud of me, you would have liked my art.

The last time I went with dad to see you, he said that I look you. I agree.

I'm just glad that dad was there with you.

Photos I took last year of the beautiful Alex Payne, that I for some reason forgot about until now. I don't know if she has even seen them.

First Day.

It didn't even feel like four months had passed. Maybe a week. Tops.

Earlier today we moved the laundry basket out of the bedroom and near the front door in anticipation of going downstairs to pick up the laundry. Upon noticing its change in location, both cats walked over to the basket and rubbed their front paws up and down the side of it. They both became excited by this strange event and started running around the basket, and then eventually started chasing each other and wrestling. Something as minuscule as moving an object out of it's usual location was the most exciting part of their day.

I wish my cats could talk to me.

We don't always notice the missing pieces.

Sometimes I'm glad my father keeps EVERYTHING.

Findings from a box in the garage.

"To Rose, with fond love and best wishes from your loving sister Alice, 1928"

"With love from Cyril, to Auntie Rose, 1920"

Before we were blessed with facebook people read about the townsfolk in the newspaper.

"Little Daisy Laken, Sunday June 10th, 1919"

"Archie Graham 1911"

A sea of flowers and a grandmother that isn't really related to me.

When I was little I had long blonde hair.
People called me "the girl with long blonde hair."
When I was little I was scared to get my hair cut.

I have been asleep for 3 1/2 months.

I guess it's time to wake up and have a cup of coffee or something.

I'm really not a morning person.
