Nellie,
Your flowers have been so beautiful, I went out
and bought myself some! I can't believe how the
colors have a florescent incandescence! As you
look in the background, you can see my ceramic
Fifi and Beaudeau. The little poodle belonged
to Aunt Tommy and Uncle Leslie (from the 1950's!)
The Portuguese Water Dog was given to me by
Alice. (It was given to her and she said she had
no place for it.) She knows how I like dogs, ha!
I found some pictures of Uncle Harry and Aunt
Mary when they visited us in the Keys back in
1967. We were on the peer in Key West.
Sorry about the wash out. I wasn't suppose to
use the flash. I didn't realize it until I had
uploaded it to the blog! Oh, the life of living in
the Keys back in the '60's!
What a catch of spiny lobster! I was looking
for the picture where our dock on the water
had dad's display of over 300 lobsters! I
couldn't find it right now, so I used these
that dad got when Uncle Leslie had visited.
*
Believe it or not, the tails of these were packed
in water and frozen to eat on for a long time!
In the picture above you can see some
of them trying to walk off. I now feel
sorry for them as they were searching
for the water. I would never stay around
when dad "took care" to prepare them for
the freezer. It's kind of like "wringing
off chickens heads" for those who grew
up on a farm.
*
It makes me want to go into a "mode" of
being sorry we have to eat other animals.
But then, when I'm hungry I don't think
about it, only how hungry my stomach is!
*
If the LORD does bring back all of his animal
life in the here after, I surely hope these
lobsters don't come up to me and say,
"Hey, Susie. You remember me, July 4th, 1967?
*
I thought I'd try to end with a bit of humor
(for what it is, lol!)
