What would you name your memoir?

I'm thinking of "Excuse me, would you please reach that for me?"

I'm barely 5 feet tall.

If you’re familiar with the Lee Child books featuring Jack Reacher, that’s how he got his name. Child was in a store and a woman asked him if he would reach to get her an item off the top shelf. He thought Reacher would be a good name for his 6’5” protagonist.

But I had to laugh when I saw that the in a store Levi’s were put on the shelf in order with the longer ones on the bottom and the 28 inch inseam on the very top.

2. Cats Over Kids

Many moons ago, my late husband and I were discussing having kids. His comment, "I don't think so. They would scare the cats." I knew I had found the right man.

10. Pack up all your dishes

48 years married - 15 moves - 3 times foreign.

Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of a bitch has always bored me

Throw out them LA papers
And that mouldy box of vanilla wafers
Adios to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back street

If I can just get off of this LA freeway
Without gettin’ killed or caught
I'll be down the road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought

LA Freeway Guy Clark

Pretty much!

Wow! More than double my wife and I. We've moved seven times, and we think that's too many! We joke with people that we're not fugitives. Maybe you are...

because my cousin once said we weren't useless, maybe our purpose in life was to serve as bad examples.

Although lately I've been liking the moniker Childless Cat Lady.
