for these late night baseball games. The last couple of nights have about done me in. Congrats to the Red Sox for winning last night. We are all tied up now at 2 wins each.
I have been feeling really nostalgic lately. I am not sure if it is the events of this past summer or what. I am especially missing my sister Mary Evelyn (Ebby). After I was retired I could count on the phone ringing at 6 AM every morning just so Ebby could tell me hi. It will be 16 years in December since she died of pancreatic cancer just one month after her birthday on November 5th. Ebby was 3 years older than me. She bought my class ring for me when I was a junior in high school and a pair of shoe skates, also clothes.
Beth on the left with my sister Ebby. I was 14 (a freshman in High school) and she was 17 and a senior.

Blogger dashboard is not publishing my posts until about 10 –12 hours after I have written them. I can’t figure that one out.
I hope we all have a good week. Stay safe and be happy.

Thanks for sharing. Sad she is gone your dear siater but that is a terrible disease to have to continue with my freind died of that but those pictures are nice and clear and you have them for memories as well as in your head memories.. Have you put them on a cd for safe keeping off the computer?. I presume you have.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched any of the games, but I'm for the Cardinals....simply because I love those birds so much. That's what our grandson told his Momma...that he figured Nannie was for the Cardinals! They know their Nannie so well!!! HOPE you have a great week, my friend!!!
ReplyDeletethat feature has never worked for me!!!
ReplyDeletei am too old also and what a treasure of a picture!!
Beth, I love the picture of you and your big sister. I was the big sister in my family . I bought my two youngest sisters some dresses for school, with my baby sitting money. Blessings. I have been flipping back and forth to see the games. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeletei get melancholy in fall, too. i think of my mother, my sister...
ReplyDeleteevery now and then blogger throws those glitches in to their scheduler or feed release.
I love all of the pictures of the family that you ever put in here. But I think I have said that for what...eight years? I love this one and I don't remember it from any other blog.
ReplyDeletexoxoxox
What a great photo of you two. I get that way also this time of year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo Beth. With the holidays coming I always think of all the people in my family who aren't here anymore.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I am seeing this for the first time at about 6:15 p.m.
What will tonight's game bring...?
I am sure you miss her so much, hang on to your memories.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely photo, Beth! I have been feeling pretty nostalgic lately as well, but I think it is a good thing. Sending you a hug.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the problem with Blogger, Beth. I hope it isn't a sign of a trend.
ReplyDeleteYes, these baseball games are on too late for us here.:-) The games are really having surprise endings, too.
That is a good picture, Beth. How wonderful that you have such good memories.
xo Nellie
Oh you are both so beautiful Beth, I love that photo. Memories are wonderful. Hug B
ReplyDeleteYou both look so happy in that picture. I love looking at pictures from days past - keeps memories alive :)
ReplyDeleteWhat at couple of cute girls in the picture! Sisters are a wonderful gift. I have one older and one younger and we were not raised together, but oh how we love and appreciate each other now! Have a good day and GO CARDS!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sister, and you were an adorable pair. I don't watch baseball, but it always makes me think of my dad sitting on our patio, listening to a game on the radio, and smoking his pipe.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Your sister sounds like she was a wonderful person and always there for you. I lost my sister as well and it feels like my right arm is gone. Sending you a hug today.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Such a treasured photo. Both my parents died in Autumn. The season brings bittersweet memories.
ReplyDeleteA special photo for sure.
ReplyDeleteYour sister must have been such a wonderful sis to you. A call every morning, priceless. MO is called the show off state instead of show me state they say. Cards and Tigers and Chiefs are all tops in the sports scene. WhooHoo!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. You both look so happy. What an amazing sister she must have been to have been so generous. Did one of you just finish mowing the lawn with that push mower?
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish we had little time machines we could board and travel back to those times? If you have never seen the movie Peggy Sue Got Married, you ought to check it out at your local video store. Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage are in it....and she takes a trip back in time.....and when she sees her mom and little sister again.....well, it will make you just weep! And when she sits with her grandparents.....well, just watch it. You will love it.
I love Peggy Sue Got Married. I have it on DVD and I must have watched it at least 20 times.
DeleteWhat a beautiful sisters!! Giving a call daily morning is nice. I too have experienced a call in the morning by my husband.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of two sister :)
ReplyDeleteAutumn always makes me feel nostalgic and reflective.
ReplyDeleteAs for Blogger, it has been giving me grief, too. It sometimes publishes things I have in draft! Other times, it doesn't show others that I have published a post until hours later. I am afraid Google+ is making it worse; it's too controlling.
What a great picture Beth. I never had a sibling, so am very envious of my friends who do have a sister (especially) who they are very close to. My mother was from a family of 12, so I miss all that family togetherness.
ReplyDeleteI remember family members who have left in September and November, and seasonal memories are wonderful to have. So glad you have photos to go with yours.
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean about staying up. Would you believe actually fell asleep during the PACKER GAME? Now that's tantamount to being run out of the state so please don't tell. Love the picture. You girls are so happy in it.
ReplyDeleteYes nostalgia has been in the air for me 2. Staying up late is not as easy as it was either. Take Care - Hugs Nita
ReplyDeleteI don't stay up that late even for Nascar races, I do know it sure makes one feel worn out the next day. Hope your Cards win. Love the photo..you too look so pretty and happy! Prayers always for your recovery. XOXO
ReplyDeleteSisters are bloody amazing, well that is how I feel about my 3 sisters sorry you lost yours but she is still watching over you that I am sure of
