ARGH! Well gosh. Forever running late these days.
I'm trying to get a few Halloween cards made and good gravy, it's taking days. I feel as though I'm swimming in molasses ... or not even swimming ... I'm snail walking through molasses. Woe is me.

I like to send handmade cards to a few friends who enjoy handmade cards and I found this great photo of my maternal Great Grandmother with a broom to use for this years cards, so cool.
My GGM is wearing a cap in the photo that makes me think of a Civil War military cap - does anyone know about period clothing? She was born in 1870 and her parents were both born in 1842. I wonder what on earth this pose was about?
I probably shouldn't be on the computer, probably should be making those cards but I'm having such a hard time making myself do anything, other than pet the dogs and stare off into space ... my mind just wants to veg and wander around ... I guess that's grief again.
My husband and I talk about how we can't get anything accomplished anymore, how we're just slugs. I wonder if this fog will ever lift?!

Hope you're doing better at keeping on top your days than I am. Wishing you all a Happy Halloweenie!
Don't worry-the fog will lift! It always does!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, and focus on small accomplishments in the mean time. Like making super cute cards! I can't believe that's your GGrandmother! What a treasure that picture is!

ReplyDeleteYou are quite talented. Where are you with the fog?
I love those cards! And the fog will lift. To be followed by sunny days and warm breezes!
ReplyDeleteI can't get anything done ever, but it's been like that for about 30 years - hahah. xox!
I hope things are brightening up for you guys. The picture of your great grand mother is so neat! I don't know the clothing, but I do know that she had to hold that pose totally still for probably a few minutes. Such a special photo!
