Today's photo challenge

This photo reminded me of a true story about Me at Three. 

 I'm told I was quite happy there was no crying

**************************

When I was a wee lass,

oh about three

I decided being hair stylist was for me

I had no customers. 

So I looked high and low

and OMDs there was

Lady and her puppies waiting for me.

Lady was my  Annie Ma's (maternal grandmother) Collie.

They were sleeping and quite as could be

So they my customers would be.

Needless to say, my profession was C U T

short when Annie Ma found  me.

She squealed NOT with GLEE

Where did you get the scissors???

give them to me which I did with a fist full of Collie furs.

*********************

 I don't remember this but I was told the first thing I said: 

"Was Lady and her puppies did not move".

Today at 9 am I will be sitting my my dentist's chair for hours and hours

I have to have a  very old bridge replaced. Prep work begins today to replace what I am calling 

THE Great Extension BRIDGE

I will be very thankful when this is over

WAY UP HIGH IN THE SKY,

THERE IS A PLACE CALLED 

RAINBOW BRIDGE.

MY MIND'S EYE, I SEE

SPRING CONDITIONS YEAR AROUND

FLOWERS BLOOMING

LOTS OF GRASS TO SNIFF

OUR FURRY ANGELS CAN RUN FREE

WITH BREEZES RUFFLING THEIR FURS

THEY RUN IN THE SUN

 ALWAYS HAVING  

FUN

In the spring, when the 

snow starts to  melt

one can haul it away 

or simply scatter 

ICE MELT

Weed or seed sprouting in the spring

no matter which pops thru

they all strive to quickly find sunshine

I am writing this poem for the man on the right pointing his finger

The luncheon was huge

The table was full 

plates beautiful, deSSerts galore.

Food is a bore

when there is no  

Grey Poupon to 

be found in the store.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

The lovely young woman looking at me

 was a shining light in her prime.

If we could speak, the tales 

we would share.

I'd tell her to enjoy each moment in time, 

not to rush the precious hours of her youth.

Time passes quickly, memories and the journey along the way

 are forever. 

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #246

This week's photo challenge which is also my thankful

1967 I was a senior in high school

To quote a line from 

'Grease', it was my year to rule the school'!!!

Senior Class Marshall

Prom Committee, our advisor was my all time favorite teacher

Miss Kilby, Home Economics.

She needed volunteers...of course I raised my hand.

A bit too quickly it seems, she wanted three sets of parents to volunteer for Prom Chaperones.  

WHAT the heck my parents were going to my

PROM!!! so not cool.

The Parent volunteers were all teens in the 1940's the only activities

were dancing. This prom went on record as the best prom ever.

The chaperones turned in to dance teachers.

They taught us all how to Jitterbug we taught them how to do the Twist. 

Oh do I wish there had been pictures.  The dance floor was hopping.

I was so very THANKFUL to have such cool, fun parents. I knew they loved to dance but had never actually witnessed such fancy foot work.

Side Note:

My daddy was an electrical contractor.  He volunteered to do all the electrical work for the special prom light. It looked like a thousand tiny stars overhead.

It was just too COOL 

how they transformed the School.
