The Limit

My great-aunt moved into the seniors' lodge in town two years ago, and I finally — finally! — got over to see her. Two years goes by in a wink and a whisper. Why is that?

Her beau Jerry was with her, and Scott and I had a visit with them both.
Jerry is a storyteller, and he has stories to tell.
Aunt Vera giggled at one of them, and exclaimed "Oh Jerry, you're the limit!"

I made them pose for a photo before we left.
Aunt Vera was worried about her hair. I told her she always looks good — which she does. I told her I needed the photo to show her daughter Lois and all the grandkids, so she conceded.

We had tickets for dinner theatre and it was a warm, windless evening. Scott's brother Bruce was one of the singing co-stars and I noticed when the curtains closed for the first intermission, none of us in the audience could wipe the grins off our faces. 
Is this some kind of grebe? Or a duck? Doesn't matter — we had a real spring day, with heat and everything!


This morning I called Ducky the Doodle Dog "Everett." Huh? Made me laugh.

  1. I love those old sayings like "you're the limit." An elderly relative that we visit says things like, "I look like the dickens." When you hear that stuff, it's like you're sitting in the lap of a friendly Grandma.

  2. Your aunt looks so actively happy.
