For the Ragtag Daily Prompt host.
My daughter and I have had wonderful hosts for the last two weeks: my son and his girlfriend, both of my paternal aunts, friends that I’ve known since the 1980s. We fly home later today.
I hope you have a wonderful day and week and end of the year, whether hosting or hosted.
We visited both of my paternal aunts and uncle in Virginia in the last few days. The picture is one of my aunts and my daughter.
I also took a picture of these photographs.
My father is in the center, with my two aunts, taken at different dates. The one of my father is in 1938 or 39. Aunt Pat is the same one who is with my daughter.
Yesterday I put up the before shot. After: we have matching haircuts. I think my children look like seals with their hair short. I don’t look like a seal! Maybe an ermine? I don’t remember ever having my hair this short!
This is a family before picture. Before what? Tomorrow will be the reveal.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: family.
My daughter and I are out visiting my son and his girlfriend on the east coast. My son wanted ideas for Christmas, since he and my daughter know I have enough stuff. I suggested tickets to something: a play, music, something in the DC area.
They took us to Georgetown on Sunday and we did an escape room! We were in the prehistoric one and solved it before the one hour timer. Lots of clues and math and letters! It was great fun! We escaped being eaten by solving all of the clues and leaving the escape rooms, hooray!
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: persist.
Oh, children are the most brilliant of all at persisting! Think of learning to walk, learning to talk, being small in this adult world and trying to keep up! Think of figuring it out when at first you have to realize that you have hands and that the noises mean something! And they persist!
Mount Tahoma, Mount Rainier, the mountain effect on the clouds. The sunrise last week revealed a cone shaped cloud above the mountain. The interaction between the earth and the sky is so beautiful…. and from this distance the mountain is small against the sky.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: connect.
This is my daughter and her cousin in 2010. Living at opposite ends of the country, we had to travel to connect.
