Just this morning, my neighbor suddenly had acquired 2 dogs and was walking toward me. At least i thought it was my neighbor. She gains and loses weight a lot and I don't see her much. And she wasn't looking like she knew me. So I asked anyway "hey, did you steal some dogs?" Yeah, it was my neighbor walking her daughter's dogs but I had that momentary panic of "OMG I'm accusing a stranger of something not funny!!"JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548653968066971599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-72596356526393372962011-07-19T09:42:33.514-04:002011-07-19T09:42:33.514-04:00Your Aunt Lorrie sounds like a doll!

She was about 80 years old at my little sister's wedding in St. Lucia, and there she was, dancing barefoot with the island men on the party boat and having a ball. <br /><br />And another thing, about the red hats and purple outfits that don't become you, etc. That poem is about being a nonconformist, going with your own heart -- I think that when flocks of ladies get together to wear purple shirts and red hats together in a premeditated way, it completely inverts the meaning of the poem. Therefore, when I am an old lady, just to spite the rest of them, I'm going to wear a red hat with a coconut-savage-bra (think Gilligan's island) and a purple thong. And maybe even some orthopoedic platform heels to go with this rocking ensemble. You'll see my husband across the room, hiding under a table, pretending he doesn't know me... ;-)Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-91893168812028873222011-07-14T16:42:21.839-04:002011-07-14T16:42:21.839-04:00I so very much want to be the lady of a certain ag...I so very much want to be the lady of a certain age who can (and does) hop onto a pontoon boat of strangers...<br /><br />I want to cruise the lake in a Studio 54 atmosphere; I want to be the party. And when I leave the boat (hell, when I leave this earth) I want people to be chanting:<br /><br />Julie Julie Julie.<br /><br />Not because I need to be adored by others.<br /><br />But because that would be proof positive that I really loved myself.<br /><br />Enough to trust me. Enough to believe I am worthy of spontaneity and fun and other peoples' interest.<br /><br />Yes. I hope to be that woman.<br /><br />So thank you for sharing. Another nudge in that direction is always welcome.<br /><br />Big love to you and your aunt.<br />And I can't wait for part II.<br /><br />Really.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244839430462103487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323746891853175496.post-41270037811388404432011-07-14T00:44:59.732-04:002011-07-14T00:44:59.732-04:00Aunt Lorrie does sound like a wonderful lady.

She worked two jobs--One was a unit clerk at a hospital, and the other was in the "foundations" section of a big department store. She told us she worked "in meat packing." She was always the life of the party, and gave us fancy bras and panties from that store for our birthdays and Christmas. We adored her!!Judiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778815502961000469noreply@blogger.com
