This Is For You, Rebecca!

Hi Chickies!


And, Happy Sunday.


Yesterday was Pink Saturday.... My post was about what a prissy girl I am.......Oh my gosh, it's true!


It seems there are a LOT of you who also fit into that category. :-) More members in the "I only wear dresses and I'm girlie-girl" club. I dreamed of being Donna Reed when I grew up.... Yes, a lovely frock for cleaning day. Did I realize that dream?? Heck no....... You can't even imagine my cleaning garb. It's not a pretty look.




If it has lace, glitter, sparkle....I am going to LOVE it!


Well............... my little friend, Rebecca, over at A Gathering of Thoughts, wanted to see an actual photo of that little fooooofy little girlie.....so here it is dear Rebecca! I think my Mum realllly liked short bangs. Good grief...... Did other mothers do that to their daughters too?



I loved my little petticoats. The more my dress stood out, the happier I was. I often wore several to achieve that look.



Third grade....circa 1958

We were having a May Day program at school. My Mum bought me the MOST beautiful pale blue, dotted Swiss dress with embroidered flowers on the bodice. Deeee.lish. AND....the best part? A brand new "stand out" slip! Whooopppeeeee! I was sooooo excited. Because I always one of the shortest kids I was always placed in the front row. Directly across from me, on the audience side, was my sweet Mum..... I smiled. She did NOT smile back. She was motioning me to "PUT YOUR DRESS DOWN".... I had carefully arranged it so that my pretty, new, fluffy slip was perfectly exposed. She kept motioning to me. I kept smiling. I can still remember that day so clearly. She was soooo annoyed with me, but I just HAD to let everyone know that I had this FAB.U.LOUS new petticoat.... :-) Yep, I was prissy....and I think maybe a bit disobedient too. Oooops.




I'm packing today to go stay with my daughter.


She's having a hysterectomy tomorrow, so I'll be taking care of her and my sweet little grandson until she's up and running.


Please, please pray for her. She's a bit nervous. She has a history of staph infection, so this Mama's a bit concerned too.

Bless her little heart....she has the sweetest status on her Facebook page...."and when the day is done, my Mama's still my biggest fan. I love you Mom. I'm looking forward to our next few weeks together, in spite of the circumstances. You're my rock. You're the best".

Ahhhhh...... Seeee why I love my girl?


I'll post as I can, from the girl's house, but my pictures are on my computer here, so I don't know how that's going to work.


I'll let you know how everything goes.


I appreciate you soooo much!




Huggies and Lovies,
