It’s the 16th and it’s Ma’s birthday and we got her lots of her fav candles and a plant! Well actually the bro got them as we aren’t allowed into the shops!!!!
Her blessings have reached 1616 which she thinks is the reason she still thinks like she’s 16 but she’s not.
In fact she is quite ancient.
I gazed at her with great sympathy. This is my “I understand the aged and will take care of you” presidential look.
The “THING” just smacked her a big one on the lips.
Should help strengthen her immune system for a few more decades. If nothing else it keeps her smiling.
Ma is home safe and we are all relieved as Pits is still Poorly. Puked up her dinner again fortunately when out on her walk and not on the carpet. Ma still had to pick it all up!!!
She is in good form otherwise chewing indigestibles and cheering on her team.
Ma reckons she has eaten something that’s blocking her stomach. If she doesn’t keep her brekkie down we’ll be off to the ER.
The Super Bowl was absolutely brilliant. I was rooting for Philly and Pits for the Chiefs. Everyone was a winner at that game.
It was a real bone cruncher.
The ads were fun and the anthem one of the best ever and half time show awesome.
We all enjoyed the big reveal of Rihanna’s super surprise her new little baby bump.
Listen up Scooby she said I have to leave you in charge here for a few days. I’m going to Indianapolis today to do some training for my Kairos work at the prison. You have to take care of Dad make sure he takes his meds and make sure Nala isn’t too naughty.
Your bro will take you out when he comes home from work and you’ll have to sleep with him also so he can take you out before he leaves for work. Talk to him if needed.
I know I’m running for president but I’m panic stricken.
She’d been going through her Facebook feed when she hit on a new post from the history site « Banbridge Back in the Day »
Banbridge is the town in County Down where her Dad and Mum came from and where some of our family still live.
Anyway the post was of a smiling gent celebrating his 100th birthday back in 1992 that just happened to be her great uncle Charlie.
So of course she has to post the fact all over Facebook and that’s when it got real good.
I had to smile at all her ohs and ahs as each new post came in.
See lots of others were also claiming relationships to the happy chappy and also saying great things about what a dear heart he was.
Finally we got to the best bit, the census of 1911 that included Charlie and my mom’s grandmother Ellen along with their parents and some of their 14 siblings all living together in Reilly Street. They even had a lodger. Must have been cosy!!!!!!
So now Mom has connection to lots more second and third cousin than any girl could have dreamed of. It was like a living breathing commercial for Ancestry.com
