I Fell Down The Rabbit Hole

Life has many ups and down. I've had a lot of ups and then I've had my downs. I was walking along minding my life the best way I knew how and all of a sudden I fell down a rabbit hole.... and it has been very deep.

You wonder why the rabbit hole thing? I am 77 years old and I had never read 'Alice In Wonderland' until last month. The free downloading on Kindle had everything to do with me finally finding out all about Alice and her adventures. I sort of related what happened to her to my life, you know, all those fun things, strange characters, excitement and terror... and not knowing what the next moment would bring.

Those of you who have followed my blogs http://lifeinwakefield.blogspot.com/ and http://ourjourneythroughalzheimers.blogspot.com/ you know my life has been full of falling for some years. I believe that I am about to find the Wonderland of Alice's book. What surprises lie ahead? What fun I might have? What sadness may come my way? I may even take time to have tea with the Mad Hatter. So come along with me as I tell the tale of my own Wonderland (past and present).

In a short period of time I will be discontinuing both of the blogs listed above so that they may be combined to relate the life of me in this new adventure. I'd love it if you would leave a comment. I will know then that you are sharing in my journey and, it gives me an opportunity to share in yours.

Have a good day.... oh pardon me, I must run. I think I see something exciting ahead of me. Will let you know what it is when I check it out.

  1. I love the name and the concept of your new blog..... a new beginning of sorts. I've grown to love and respect you, so I'll be following along on your next journey.

    I've never read Alice in Wonderland..... I have a Kindle..... I'll download it, especially since it's free.
    Love,

  2. Mom - I am so glad that you read Alice in Wonderland. You helped open my eyes to books and I am glad I could reciprocate a little.

    Remember those nights, you reading to me and me drawing at the foot of your bed. I loved it! Guess I still would.

  3. Oh, Michael. Those were precious times and I loved reading to you.... and yes, I'd do it again. I've always loved to read and with that Kindle I am reading constantly now. 15 books since Christmas. I'm reading 'Water For Elephants' right now. Thank you for my gift.
