Haven't been posting much lately....due to a back issue causing me to have to go to physical therapy. Not sure what I did to cause it. So, like my 52-year-old antique car, I guess I’m a 70 year old museum piece
with a lot of miles on me, and things are starting to wear out!
Another interesting happening at Mom's nursing home: they periodically bring in musicians to perform for the residents, and she recently attended one of the recitals. That day's musician has seen me before, but we have only exchanged pleasantries. I arrived a bit late (wearing capris and flats, of course).

As
I
walked in after the start of the recital, the performer noticed me, and
announced to Mom that “You have company, Miss (insert Mom's first name
here) - your
daughter is here.” Nobody corrected her,
including the residents. (Bet that has a few of them confused - because
many are new residents.) But that’s always good…to
be seen as female. This could be habit-forming!
Just a bit of ferroequinology this time: The following is former Reading RR #2102, painted to resemble Delaware & Hudson #302, operating a passenger excursion back in the fall of 1973 on the Pittsburg and Shawmut Railroad, at one time a "Class 1 railroad" which was dissolved in the mid 2000's and is now an integral part of the Genesee & Wyoming RR system in Pennsylvania. This particular picture was taken at the coaling/water stop in Brookville,
The following pic is from the same excursion...note the coal cars in the background...
You can find more info about this trip (and another pic) in an earlier post dated 2.7.2014, and titled "Feel the Thunder..."
Enjoy the upcoming Easter Holiday...

I hope your back pain clears up. I am a fan of chiropractors and I am sure I would have needed back surgery years ago but for the work done on my back by my chiro. I like the old Will Rogers quote about having "traveled down a lot of roads and not all of them were paved".
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are more often than not perceived as female. It has to be rather affirming.
DIL likes chiros too. The work the Therapy Techs have done seems to be helping, though. I no longer need pain killers. So I'll go with the techs for a bit longer before I give up and try chiros.
DeleteYes, it is. I smile a bit every time it happens!
