Mabel says ….
I have some things I’ve been ‘Pondering’ …
1. Once you’re in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
I guess that’s why many people pick out the clothes they want to be buried in. I notice serviceman like to wear their uniforms. Assuming you’re going to heaven, is there a need for security there?
2. Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? I was confused while singing it in the shower one day. Yes, I sing in the shower.
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
3. Why do doctors leave the room while you change? I know as we age we can be a frightening sight. But, aren’t they going to see you naked anyway???
4. Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up like every two hours? I notice sleeping isn’t what it used to be. I’m awake more. Am I turning into a baby again?
You know, now that I’m older. . . Time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.
Come back and see what else Mabel’s been ponderings …

Great ponderings and questions well worth asking. I love the questions about heaven. Maybe people who were tailors and dressmakers on earth set up business there. 🙂

By the time we get to heaven it’s time to lay back and float on a cloud. I’m sure we would have earned it by then. ~~~~ : – )

Mabel is a fun post I have been doing. She reminds me of all the
elderly people I am friends with. They have a dry and prickly attitude
that is humorous.
Time is fleeting and moves faster that we’d wish.
Happy September …..!!!!!
