Lake Ella in Tallahassee, Florida, is one of my favorite places to walk. I call this one, taken on a warm winter day, “January Done Right.”
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

Oh that we could…I can’t fly. Tried it once, it all went horribly wrong. A curse I have to live with.

Can’t swim either…my dear old mum thought it would make me deaf. As was entirely bonkers mind.

My dad didn’t learn to swim until he joined the navy. His mom wouldn’t let him go swimming until he learned how. Catch-22 if ever I saw one.

If the truth be told my mother was under the impression I might die from an overload of earwax! 100% true. She also kept my knife, fork and spoon (all silver despite their poorness) separately from the rest of the cutlery and (100% true) for fear of passing on her germs to me never once cuddled/kissed me etc. And people wonder why I’m a weirdo – in a good way, I stress!

Oh! That breaks my heart. You’re amazingly sane. Makes you wonder about the whole nature/nurture argument. Of course you were loved, though–she cared about your well being even if it meant not being a cuddly mom.

You would be amazed the things that woman did to keep her only child immortal. Let me just say my teenage /early twenties were a rather difficult time as I presumed that human beings didn’t touch each other!
