Pier One hello
Got a Fishie from Mom last Saturday. I was at Pier One picking up a bed frame I had on hold under my name, Elisabeth.
The older British woman looked me dead in the eye and said, "Barbara? It's on hold for Barbara?"
I blinked and said, "No, Elisabeth."
She laughed and said "I don't know why I have Barbara in my head."
Apparently because she really had Barbara in her head.
Thanks for the Fishie, Mom.

I love this. I don't think anyone will ask me if something is on hold for Laurianne though. lol! But I have had other signs.
Would you consider putting Laurianne's Hope on your sidebar? I have that blog under a different user account.

Thank you kindly!
OK, I have one for you.
My dad's father was a smoker. Even before he died, if I smell a certain chemical of the cigarette, I think of him. After his death, I would somtimes smell smoke in my house, that my husband doesn't smell, and I think of him then also. (We are both non-smokers.)
Two days ago, I was sitting in our computer room, and I smelled cigarette smoke. I didn't ask my husband if he smelled it, because I knew he would say no. But I always think it could be Opa, checking up on me and seeing how I am doing.
So rad. I'm so glad you are doing this blog!
My mum died of lung cancer in May. I was out at a party the other night and got a wee bit drunk and, in my alcohol fuelled dream state, decided to phone her. She answered. I was thrilled to hear her voice, of course! Then, on twigging I was more than two sheets to the wind, she suggested I call back when I was sober and we could have a proper chat! That was so my mum. I tried to force myself back to sleep so I could get through again but the connection had gone.
Next time I'll lay off the red wine!
