I had trouble deciding on what to do for today's topic for - Sweet November photo challenge. The word for today is "old". My house is full of old items - many that are very special to me. Richard suggested a number of things, but nothing seemed to be what I wanted. Lily was over last night and showed me her fingernails and as I looked at my hand holding onto hers - I was reminded of when my nephew was around Lily's age . . . and asked my mom why her hands were so old.
My mom still laughs about that . . .
So . . . even though I do not consider myself old - this was the photo I decided to go with. It makes me remember my own grandma's hands, it reminds me how quickly time passes and that we need to cherish
every day . . . and it reminds me that I only get to grow old one time. I am going to enjoy it.
There is no old age.
There is, as there always was, just you.

You've reminded me of the scene in "Beaches" when Barbara Hershey's character is going crazy because she can't remember her mother's hands and wonders if her daughter will remember hers. I can picture my mother's hands and even my grandmother's because she was always trying to get me to file my nails pointier like hers. Thanks for stirring the memory pot.
