New Writing Blog
Due to computer problems, I am abandoning my original writing blog that I named Katie Remembers and beginning this one. I plan to have bits about Do you remember when... and Isn't it great that today ... and who knows what else.
Do you remember when we put decals from all our vacation stops on our suitcases? My parents were both teachers and we often traveled during the summers. Whether it was Yellowstone National Park or the Lincoln Memorial, I would carefully consider my purchase at each place, peel off the back and attach the decal next to the last one on my suitcase. I had that suitcase for a long time. Although I don't regret not having the smelly old thing now, I sure wish I had a picture of it.
Do you remember when the bears at Yellowstone National Park came right to your car window looking for treats? At the time no one thought about how this separated them from their place in nature's beauty and made these independent creatures into beggars for their human benefactors, just to satisfy our curiosities. Awareness of the dignity of wild animals by the general public is an area that has changed for the better during my life.
Isn't it great that today we have stretchable fabric bandaids? The large ones I put on my elbows sure helped protect my "floor-burned" skin I got from moving around in the hospital's sandpaper sheets after recent knee surgery. I'm afraid that rough hospital sheets have not changed during my life.
Isn't it great that today after months of snow, flowers bloom in my garden?
