Grandma Tales

Positive Effect of Memory Loss, #1,984: Sunset, For the First Time (Again).

In the car with Linda last night. Outrageously beautiful sunset blazes across the sky. Grandma says, "Oh, for beautiful! It's never done this before! I've never seen the sky like this before!"

Negative Effect of Memory Loss, #5,399: Home, Alone and Post-Non-Event-Stress-Syndrome.

Boys and I at church. Linda's working upstairs. Grandma stirs from her room downstairs. Linda joins her.

Grandma: Where is everybody? 
Linda: They're at church working on the play.
Grandma (with that panicky voice): You mean I've been home alone?!
Linda: No, I've been here.
Grandma: So, what you're saying is that I've been here all alone?!
