 -> sisters came to live in the same nursing home, she (inadvertantly) hurt
 -> them badly, by referring to them as her "old lady friends from Norfolk",
 -> which is where the 8 girls all grew up, she the oldest of them...  :)

 RH> She didn't recognize them.  If they'd had baby pictures out she would
 RH> have  recognized the babies but not the adults.

Probably...  She was able right along to know that some infrequent
visitor had some connection to herself... she always knew I was family,
even if she'd long before lost that I was her oldest grandchild.  :) 

Funny story... about the time that she thought I must be a cousin, I and
my sister, with her newborn son, went to visit...  My sister told her,
Look Grandmother, here's your newest great-grandson... and she
responded, No...  So my sister tried again, with the same result...
Finally my sister said, Here's your grandson... and she responded with,
Oh what a pretty baby!..   :)   I guess she KNEW she wasn't old enough
for a great-grandson, but maybe, just maybe, barely, a grandson...?

 ->  RH> My mother told me not to cut paper with sewing scissors. 
 -> I was given a small pair of Fiskars a long time ago... they've been used
 -> for years for just about everything... mostly, lately, in the kitchen...
 -> haven't seemed to lose their edge in all those years, and with all the
 -> abuse... paper, plastic, and once in a while, cloth or thread... ;)
 -> 
 RH> The old ones were made differently.  Better.  My paper scissors that
 RH> are  only a few years old aren't that great any more. A pair that has
 RH> to be 30 if not more than I found in an estate sale are really sharp.
 RH> Wrong shape for a cloth scissor, otherwise I'd have to wonder. 
 RH> They're marked Clauss.

Mine are probably a good 30 years old...  They aren't sewing shears,
just little ones, for snipping and such...  :)
