Miss Pamela wrote back to me. The lady in Scotland. Last year she went to Israel and the Baltic. Amazing. She wants me to fly to Edenborough and she'll pick me up there. I can't, but if I could, I would. My life is here.
Ahhhhhhhh Miss Pamela! That is AMAZING!! Please please please be Mitty and go to Edenborough! What an adventure that would be (what would Joey and Sid say???). You likely won't have to jump out of helicopters and fight sharks LOL Sending you a (((hug))) and you can bet if I ever get to Alaska, I'll be knocking on your door.
Well now I'm going to have to find The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and watch it. My husband and I love watching old movies. "It Happened on 5th Avenue" is our favorite Christmas movie. We watch it every year.
Every day I put a new flower picture on my monitors, take a picture of the monitors and put it on facebook as a "Good Morning, World". Tomorrow's flower is going to be an apple blossom.
Kerimae, when you wrote about wanting to have a conversation with the man on an airplane, I stopped reading, went to my email and sent a note to "Miss Pamela". We met on an airplane. She was visiting Juneau and headed to Seattle like I was. We sat next to each other. Miss Pamela lives in Scotland. By now she is pretty close to 90. That's if she is still with us. It's been a year since we last communicated. Miss Pamela had just purchased an iPad. She was struggling with getting some things set up and asked me to help. The young man sitting in the window seat next to me was about 17 years old. I took the iPad out her hands and gave it to him. "Here. Help her out." "Oh mine is just like this". He showed her how to do lots of fun things with her iPad while I sat in the middle seat and watched. She set up her Facebook page and put me in as her first friend. It was by far, the most enjoyable flight I've ever been on. Miss Pamela is a world traveler. She said she saw a young lady on her street in Scotland walking a dog. She went out to say hello and found out the lady was from Juneau. The woman told Miss Pamela "If you ever want to see Alaska you can stay with me". A year later Pamela called her and said, "do you have room for two of us?" She was such a delight. Before she got off the plane, she somehow made it to the cockpit and got a picture of herself wearing the captain's hat. We are getting our house ready for old people. Us. We have a big, deep tub in the master bath that has got to go. This 5 ft 1 granny is having trouble getting in and out of it. It's a big step. We're going to put in a walk-in shower sooner than later. Trying to stay safe. This is a sad week for me. For my family. Yesterday was Joey's birthday and Friday is Sid's birthday. Both boys/men are gone from us. Joey would be 43 and Sid would be 40. Joey is gone 13 years and Sid 1 1/2 years. Life just doesn't turn out how you think it will. I'm thankful for the revelation given on how life is REALLY going to turn out. It keeps hope alive. I know I will see my boys again. They both loved the Lord. For now, we keep on. It's all I know how to do................ Sandy
