Whoa, look at this

I was searching through a closet, taking inventory of what is general called “a mess” when I saw a pile of stuff that had fallen out of a box or briefcase or whatever. In that stuff I came across two pictures.

The first is me AmeliaJake Grismore on the left and Amandaluke Kemp on the right at Read Hall on the Indiana University campus. Taken awhile back (cough, cough)

And this is me, your own AmeliaJake, a couple of years later:

I also found a pair of feet-in-them red flannel PJ’s that have a Santa face where a shirt logo usually is stitched and a label that says, “Made Especially for You by GRANDMA”

I told Quentin I’d have a picture of them on this blog right away, but I forgot and left them upstairs and so will take the picture tomorrow.

Okay, I remembered incorrectly. It’s Made with love by Grandma. I do think some of them said especially for you though.

Do you know I held these to my face and breathed in, hoping to get just a hit of that blond-haired scent? it wasn’t there – just the memory.
