Sea Island, Georgia Photo and Enhancement by Chris Duffy
I tell you, I felt like going home in the middle of the day. Cut to the quick I was! One of the new temporaries at work, a young man about 30ish, who is assigned to the mail room / shipping & receiving room was delivering a package to me today and out of the blue he asked me if I had relatives in Michigan . . . because I sure looked like his grandmother. His GRANDMOTHER?!?!? I could almost have taken it if he had said like his mother . . . but his GRANDMOTHER?!?! I’m not sure exactly how I responded; something like I didn’t really think I had any relatives in Michigan, and that I was raised in Illinois. It threw me for a loop so much I forgot to put on my “remembering cap”. Anyway, I think he got away without realizing he’d ruined my day, and after a few minutes I started to see the humor in the situation and related it to a couple of my “older” buddies at work. One of them sent me an email a few minutes later saying that she didn’t think the guy would have left her office uninjured, to which I replied, “He wouldn’t have, except that I couldn’t get my walker turned around quick enough”. I heard her laughing six offices away.

oh, poor Chrissy… :lol: I hate it when that happens :laugh:
By the way, that is a perfect picture… absolutely perfect. :goodjob:
That’s about as cute a story as I have heard today. You don’t look anything like anyones grandmother and if you do, it’s a very young one. Your pictures you have up are really great. I love that of the beach. My daughter was married on the beach in Virginia only a few years back. They have lived on or near a beach for quite a few years. I often wonder how that didn’t happen for me and my other half.
And, I thought you were the younger sister-Alice being the older one. I remember a couple of years ago when one of the teachers that worked with me was offended when a 30 year old teacher said something about being surrounded by “Moms”. She and I were about 52 at the time and she was offended! I just laughed at her, but being accused of looking like some 30-year-old’s grandmother is too much! I like your response to your “older” co-worker. It’s too bad you couldn’t think fast enough to make a similar comment to “sonny boy”.
I love the beach picture. It makes me want to go there right now!
:wave: I AM the older sister, by 15 months.
