invisibility is my super power — what’s yours?

Jan 22, 2025

A few days ago I cut just over 4″ off the back of my hair and about 2.5 inches from the front. I thought it made a pretty darned big difference, but not a single person has said one thing about it.

I’m pretty sure I’m invisible.

I’m obviously not a ghost as they can’t be seen in mirrors because mirrors only reflect the physical world. Right?

Do I look like a McKain or a Wilson?

I’ve always been told by others that I look like the McKain side of the family. It’s likely because of my dark eyes, hair and complexion. Mom was blonde (she’s still about 10% blonde and 90% gray), has fair skin and light colored eyes (gray? blue?). But Mom’s side of the family disagreed.

They often called me “Stella,” saying I looked just like her. Stella was the sister of my Mom’s Mom — my Nanny. (Of Nanny’s siblings, Opal was the oldest, then Stella, Nanny was the middle sister, then Lois, and finally Kak.) While I’m sure I’ve seen photos of Stella before now, I guess I never really paid much attention to them. Yesterday, a photo was shared on FB from the Crothersville Alumni Banquet of 1938. I sent it to Mom because she likes looking at those type things and she asked if I recognized Stella. Nope. I didn’t.

In the front row, just to the right of the candle, is Palmer Kovener and his wife, Stella Wilson, the great aunt of my brother and me.

I’m not sure which side of my family I look like — I think I’m simply invisible. 😉


Now you know: In the USA, there can be 450 insect parts and nine rodent hairs in every 16 oz. box of spaghetti. 🤢
