Livia J. Washburn

"Earlier my daughter said she was going to cut her nails on the porch. Now my hearing isn't awful, but it's certainly not what it used to be. I heard that she was going to go cut her nails with a fork. I honestly sat there pondering how in the world she was going to do that, when I realized she'd gone out on the porch. Then did the mental smack of the head."

Livia Washburn is one talented and sweet woman. The above was posted on her blog the other night. I laughed out loud. My hearing sure ain't that good any more either.

The other night Carol and I sat on the family room couch maybe four feet apart, the space between us filled with three of our cats. When CBS Evening News Scott Pelley said "Good Night" and Carol said "Good Night, Scott" I thought she'd made some remark about my "socks." So I said "So what's wrong with my socks?" She looked at my socks and said "Nothing. Why?" "Because you made some kind of remark about them." "No I didn't." She looked at me if I'd finally gone irretrievably around the bend. "Yeah you did. A minute ago." Then she laughed. "I said "Good Night Scott. I was talking back to the TV screen." Maybe I HAVE gone irretrievably around the bend. I'm getting just as bad at scanning headlines. I always have to carefully reread headline that startle me because these days I sometimes mis-read them. And I'm wearing my brand new Mt. Palomars, too.

And speaking of Livia...
