Memory: 67 Years ago today, My mom's best friend, Lance Corporal Emily Buchanan passed away. She was 20 years old. She was training at an Alberta base, and the vehicle she was in, rolled over and she tried to jump out a window and the truck rolled onto her. Mom had talked about her friend many times, but today when I told her of the anniversary, she beganning filling in more blanks. Emily had just got married; Barry was 5 months old. I knew she had died at a base, but Mom didn't mention the vehicle accident. I have some pictures of Emily in my Family album. Emily and Mom were members of the CGIT. (mom used to call it, the Cutest Girls in Town).
So my 50 list is still ongoing. There are a couple more items that I should be able to cross off by the end of the month. There are a few that are dreams, but we all know dreams can come true so they are staying on my list.
The countdown is on for Vegas and Garth Brooks. I can hear him now. "I've got friends in low, places....." I am ready to be blown away.
Haven't heard too much from the son; he sounds like he is very busy (when we text). Maybe I'll hear from him tomorrow.
I am still having a little bit of Facebook withdrawal. I was taking some dishes out of Ashley's room this morning, and low and behold, she left her Facebook page signed on. Now I figured, "you leave dishes in your room - facebook page is fare game. " So I did what I had to do - and I'm hoping Ashley really does think she has the best mom in the whole wide world!!!!!! She's not home yet, so not sure if she knows about it yet!
I have invested in a new toy. I used some birthday money and bought a KoBo reader. So far I am liking it. A little more complicated than I anticipated, but once I figure out the library borrowing, it will be great. Right now I'm reading a non fiction book about Lisa and Laura Ling - two sisters; journalists and Laura's experience being held in North Korea - it was in the news a couple of year ago.
Anyway, now I am babbling - off to watch the new episode of two and a half men and then to bed.
Night
