Do you ever see things that you would not normally like, but they make you remember someone... ...So on some level you like something really odd, like the postcard below:
This postcard reminds me of my Mom's Dad....one of the things that he used to say was "The whole famdamily". I guess that he thought that it sounded nicer that way? I don't know about that, but as a child
(and now) it is fun to say
(in my head or to myself), and it tickles your mouth somehow, when you say it. =)
