I've been thinking often about my dear friend Jo Ellen who passed away so suddenly last month. Then some one on a blog mentioned Hummers better known as Humvees. That reminded me that I had taken a photo of Jo Ellen in her Humvee some months ago. She was a Humvee kind of Grandma! It wasn't a particularly good photo but in the light of what has happened, I hoped I still had it among my pictures on my PC somewhere.
Well I looked and looked. No luck. Then I checked my camera because I often keep photos on there instead of deleting them right away. No luck! Then I remembered that I probably had taken it with my other camera before I got this one for Christmas. So I checked there. Still no luck. Disappointing.
Then lying in bed last night, I had a brainwave. What If I posted it on my blog?
So today I scrolled back pages and pages and there it was! From a whole year ago!
Can you see her just peeking out of the window? If only I had known what would happen a year later.
Not so exciting to some, but to me precious!
Chris, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your friend Jo Ellen. A precious photo indeed and I am so glad you found it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found the photo, Chris. What a great invention cameras are -- to help keep our memories alive long after beloved ones are gone.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found it. Sometimes things like this happen and we have nothing left but memories.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like she was a fun grandma to me. I am glad for the blogs, too. Not only for saving memories, but for all the new friends I have made.
ReplyDeleteBlogging is wonderful indeed and what better proof than this. What a happy memory of your friend.
ReplyDeleteOn the theme of happy memories, you may be unaware thet Google Street View has opened up about 98% of UK roads in the past week. You'll be able to see Flamborough Head and your old haunts! x
So sorry to hear about your dear friend. Glad you found the photo.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been around for a while. This week has been very busy and hectic. Hope you had a relaxing week-end. And thanks for your visits.
Chris J said: Thanks for your tip Gillian. I went over to Flamborough this afternoon and had a good look around. Not many changes really, just a few more bungalows. Wish they'd gone down to the beach and had a look around the caves! Keep hoping I'll get back there one more time -- for real.
ReplyDeleteVery precious indeed!
