Title: Life at both ends.
Post by: Roger Kettle on February 02, 2023, 09:17:15 PM
Needless to say, I have been revelling in the daily development of my granddaughter. At 8 months old, she is, unquestionably, the most intelligent and gorgeous child ever born. That would suggest her genes have come from the maternal side.
At the other end of the spectrum, my mother-in-law passed away last week. A remarkable lady who would have been 101 years old at the end of this month. She had a wonderful, fulfilling life that included working on radar during the second world war. In her latter years, we tried to persuade her to talk about her life so that we could turn it into a book. She was reticent but once told me that she had come up with a title. "Delighted, love John". I was confused until she explained that her father was overseas when she was born and that was the telegram he sent to her mother. Just a great title. Anyway, she was a lovely woman and I'm fortunate to have known her.
And that, my friends, is life!

I a glad granddaughter and great-grandmother got to spend some of their time together during their turns living.

Sorry for your family's loss Roger, never easy and never enough time.

Hugs

Sad, but poignant encapsulation of the Circle Of Life, Roger. Such a remarkable woman truly deserves an impressive innings, and she certainly achieved that. Your family has been very blessed to have her in your lives this long, and she yours. My condolences for your loss, and hers, but my smiles for the many tales of Great Grandmother to come for your granddaughter. Moments for you all to enjoy together, I'm sure.

Thanks, guys. There is no question that she had a long and fulfilling life. We have a lovely photo of her great granddaughter clutching her finger and smiling. I have no sorrow, only fond memories.
Enough of this. Somebody post some nonsense!

The above photo was created by an AI (artificial intelligence) program. I just told it to give me "Dundee United dressed as clowns." and it did the rest.

Oddly, "Dundee United losing" just seemed to be normal photos.

And here is one for Diane: "Dundee United being chased by a Moose".

This looks more like Dundee United is doing the chasing. We had a moose sleep in the garden a couple of nights ago, it got up, peed then took off.

I had no idea they were so human.
