Truth certainly is a funny thing.
I have learned more and more, the older I have gotten, that the truth about many things is sometimes very different than what my perception of them have been. I believed things that were said or done were meant a certain way and later found out very different. It gives me pause occasionally to stop and wonder about what vast percentage of my life has been perceived by me in a way that was not real. Probably a lot !
Sometimes when you ask why too much, it annoys other people. LOL !
Family traditions are fun to have and pull us back to memories of happy times. Grandma's ham was a fun story.
