Description
My favourite lady at the Nursing Home where Buster, Rosie and I go on Wednesdays.
Rita was a Brigadiers wife and is witty and clever. She has a bit of dementia and we sometimes have fabulously daft conversations which make us both laugh.
Today, after asking me to remind her of my name, she said "I'll never remember it so I'll call you Amnesia".
How very appropriate!
I think she is 92 on Friday, I must check.

Now that is growing old gracefully! What a great story and photo!
She sounds OK to me I sometimes wake up and cant remember my own name.
Awj She looks like a sweetie good capture Hugs Susan~
EXCELLENT IMAGE!
What a wonderful lady I wish her a happy birthday!
What a wonderful sense of humor! She sounds like a real pistol. And 92 and still wearing lipstick. Well, a girl has to look her best. Isn't that right, Amnesia?
Really cool flash portrait of your nursing home friend, Andrea. Even at 92, she looks full of vim and vigor. And as for me, I'll never forget the day I got amnesia.
Great portrait of this lovely lady!
This must be a marvelously wonderful Nursing home you and the gang go to, the folks are always nicely dressed, even accessorized with jewelry! I love that some of the ladies still wear lipstick! I hope if I have to go to a nursing home, it is as nice as this one seems. Rita looks and sounds like a fabulous Grande Dame!
Superb capture Andrea. You are doing fantastic work visiting all the Men and Ladies there. God Bless.
God bless Rita at 92 and she has earned to right to call you anything she wants.
Nice hat..........and I bet lady.
A wonderful portrait Andrea, she looks a lovely lady.
a story-telling portrait
What a sweet capture of her great job on this.
Ah yes Brigs wives are full of fun indeed. When I was the stores manager at the Union Jack club. The comptroller was Brig Jonathan Rickett (Welsh guards rtd) and his wife was called Fanny. She was a riot. One day I said Johnny and Fanny eh? I will have to get you to cook for me one day. We laughed because her retort was, I can easily burn water Ronnie. Super pic
Very nice portrait. Maybe try shooting it with a bit more distance and zoom instead?
She sounds a lovely lady, what a character!!!
A great portrait shot of your friend.She is funny and and has lots of spirit.
She's full of life and I love a bit of wit as well! This is such a fun photo. I love human interest shots, especially of lively people. This is superb! Amnesia: I'll have to remember that one.
I like this. She seems eager to engage, and full of interest! I had some fun conversations with my grandmother when her mind started to go. :P
Suxh a great humor Rita has. So you are amnesia?! She is right, in a way this name sounds a bit like your real name to me. Once again a great portrait, Andrea. You are so good at this (as on so much more.....!!!!)
