Living life in the shadows has its perks but then again it has some limitations when it comes to just living life like everyone else.Watching TV last night while on the computer I noticed there were several shows on about shadows, Burn notice, NCIS, Generals Daughter, and yes even CIS, they all have some of shadow life in them but they also have a lot of fiction built into them. Wow, if we in the shadows could really do all they show on the TV and Movies....wow!
Guess as we get older life gets more interesting even if the interesting parts are just in our minds...after all this is enigma land for me.
Ann is in Alabama looking after her mother Agnes who is fine one day and lost the next. Agnes has lived such a great life to have all these problems with memory and body at age 86.
Living life can be so complicated at times.
Agnes came from Scotland to England and then to Baltamore in the 1940s where she met an Irish American and married and they traveled the world with the US Army for twenty years or so. Agnes raised four kids in those hard times and then divorced in the ealry 70s never to remarry Agnes then applied for college in her 40s and got her BA and MA in English and taught school for 20 years before retiring. Over the years Agnes save her money for her kids so they would have a better life and invested her money well and ended up with a nice savings for the kids. The kids managed to get Agnes to use some of the money to travel in the last ten years so Agnes was able to get out and about and see the kids who lived in many places about the US. You can check the pictures on opendiary and rememory and find that Agnes managed to swim with the fish, ride in hot air ballons, and fly regulary, move to AZ for several years, then back to her home in AL. Agnes is a fine woman who loved and loves her kids and her life, we just hope she gets better and feels better.

agnes sounds like she's lived a good long full life. is her health failing now as well as her mind? does ann expect to be gone for a very long time? sad that you have to be apart this way.
