Inspired by the work of Annie Hammon as part of the Lifebook 2017 course.

Grandson with Rainbrella

Note: I changed the title of this piece because I'd forgotten the cutest name for an umbrella that this child had come up with. Love!

Previous title was "Sun Shower"

...or, rather, grandson shower.

A dear friend sent me a photo of his adorable grandson standing in the yard holding an umbrella and asked if I'd be willing to paint it. What an honor it is to be trusted with friends' precious memories!

Painting this reminded me of standing in my own yard growing up (partly because this friend of mine happens to live in the house I grew up in, though this image is not at that particular house). I'd throw my umbrella to the roof, climb the loquat tree in the front corner of the house, get on the roof, open that umbrella, and jump off. Over and over and over again. I very clearly remember thinking that the umbrella in no way slowed my eight foot descent.

Mind Blown

I sat in a high school chemistry classroom tonight for a meeting and I realized that I have absolutely no memory of ever having taken chemistry in high school, though surely I did...right?  And when I really think about it, I have hardly any memories of high school at all.  Yet I remember SO MUCH about what I was doing outside of high school during those years.

I guess a girl has her memory space priorities, eh?

Menopause and Memory

Little guy:  "Hey, mom, are you looking forward to menopause?"

Me:  "YES!!!"

Little guy:  "Oh.  But that's when you get hot flashes."

Me:  "What were you expecting me to say?"

Little guy:  "I thought you'd say, 'no'."


Rats!  He was disappointed.


Me:  "Did you want me to say, 'no'?"

Little guy:  "I had a good joke to tell you if you had."

Me:  "Oh...well then, no."

Little guy:  "Too late.  I forgot the joke."


Rats!  Now I'm disappointed.
