Last week, my niece Jackie posted a memory on her Facebook page that had to do with her Grandma (my Mother),
Her post caused responses from, not only myself, but several others who had witnessed "Momma" madly waving a tea towel in the direction of the loud beeping of the house "fire alarm" that was mounted in the hallway, perhaps 20 feet or so from the kitchen.
Mom was a wonderful cook (at least her family always thought so, she would dispute that fact, but we each have our own opinions and she was certainly outnumbered) With that said, Mom did have a tendency to cook everything over high heat which, in turn, caused said alarm to loudly object on numerous occasions! This was the cause of much irritation and frustration on her part and snickers and head shaking and giggles, from Daddy and her family! However, she never did learn to turn the burner down and cook things slowly ---- "Thankfully" she never burned the house to the ground either!
This incident reminded me that I had initially started this Blog, "Karen Spillin' her Dreams" with the idea of writing about just such memories in the hopes that, at some point, my children and grandchildren might possibly enjoy reading the "bits and pieces" of , not only my memories but also "their history."
Admittedly, my life has not been particularly exciting but, still, I thought it would be kind of fun to go back and think about earlier times and or things that were possibly funny, significant and sometimes, even life-changing!
I did enjoy doing it for awhile, but as is so often the case when it comes down to it, I am not a very motivated person and as frequently happens when I start a project, I get sidetracked and soon it is forgotten, perhaps, never, but not always. to be finished at all.
Well, Jackie's post on Facebook reminded me of the Blog and so, HERE I AM ONCE AGAIN! I had no idea it had been so long since I had checked out or written anything on these pages. WOW! How quickly time flies by! The first 20 or 30 years of our lives seems to take forever and then the next 40 or 50 years fly by so quickly, you are kind of left shaking your head and wondering where they went!
Of course, I never actually worked at "blogging" long enough to really find out if I could manage to get people interested in following my pages, so there most likely will be very few people, other than myself that will ever see my ramblings. So here goes, I am back once again. I have decided my brain could use the exercise.
More than a few changes in my life have taken place these past five years, so I once again I am ready to start "SPILLIN" IT OUT FOR ALL THAT ARE INTERESTED!"
GOOD NIGHT ALL AND GOD BLESS!!!
