As the full moon approaches I was fairly certain that I'd be writing some long missive on the emotional & physical aspects of being a caregiver to my elderly mother...... instead, I woke up this morning and after tending to all the pets... I tried on hats! There I was, still in my nightgown, standing on the bed and stretching towards the shelves! I went through about half the hat boxes I have in the bedroom and just tried each and every hat on. Some I hadn't worn in ages. Others I've never worn out in public. Its been years since I've had the time or the energy to put together a nice outfit and top it off with a really nice or fun headpiece!
You know what? I have some really nice hats! hahaha!! It was a grand way to start the day. I even got to thinking about how much my paternal grandmother would have enjoyed my hat "cravings".
Lulu was quite the understated fashionista! She LOVED clothes! And SHOPPING! Mom used to tell me stories about when she was a newlywed and Lulu would drag her to Baltimore on shopping trips. My mom would wear out by mid-afternoon and Lulu would send her home by train.... then return in the evening with her packages in tow. What I would give to be able to go along on one of those trips!!! Mind you, this was in the late 40's. What an era!
So anyway, when I went over to sit with mom she started telling me how she had dreamed about Lulu last night! Said she hadn't dreamed of her in years and years. She didn't remember any details, but that's ok. I thought it was great that my grandmother got "in touch". And with the Veil being so thin right now and the moon growing every night... I wasn't that surprised.
You just have to love it when little things like this happen! chuckle
