my mother told me about my grandmother today....
a woman neither of us knew
weird
I'm trying to imagine my blood and the blood of this woman she talked about as being much the same...but I can only picture her like I'm watching an old movie
maybe it's because the only pictures that I have seen of her show a perfectly combed and made-up woman....
I will need to remember to take pictures of me just waking up in the morning for my grandchildren so they will have the opportunity to accurately imagine me as a young, flawed woman....but hopefully I will know them.
a note on Saturday:
moment of euphoria as we drove through ballard county (of all places..I didn't think ballard county could ever cause euphoria...but it did)
it was about 8 at night, and we drove along this long country road filled with trees and fields and fireflies flashing by....sometimes I think I am doomed to only being happy in the middle of no where.
