It now 3:45am; gee I slept in it seems.
It was indeed an interesting Friday. My Amvets Post hosted another Amvets Post yesterday for a WASHERS Tournament. They’ve been doing this for a few years. The post from Okeechobee come up to Sebring. Our team in turn travels there. It was indeed a nice weather day; not too hot and not to chilly. Everyone enjoyed theirselves. A day of fun, food and drink. I took random pictures with my phone. I hate photos that are posed; rather just snap without anyone knowing. I did this also a few years ago; I think in 2019 as there was no tournament last year due to COVID.
The St. Patrick’s Day for Friday was CLADDAGH. When Jimmy and I married his wedding ring was a claddagh. He got me one for Christmas one year but it was lost in a Job Johnny during a March if Dimes event. There was NO way I was reaching down to try to retrieve it.
My friend Claire, who makes jewelry, made me a really nice necklace for St. Patrick’s Day with a claddagh. I wore it yesterday and had a few compliments on it.
Terry’s word for yesterday was OPT. I’ve used it the word before. Usually when I shorten option. I composed an acrostic as well as verse.
As for the wacky holidays. Yes quite hard for me. Actually most of it comes from my life. I really was a Pioneer Girl.
The local group met in a Baptist church. Myself and two other girls were Catholic. I enjoyed this group. I got a sewing badge (I have no idea as I can’t sew); and a cooking badge for making a meal that had to be supervised by an adult. Would you believe it was my step-father who supervised the cooked carrots and the baked chicken and rice dish.
I tried for some badge that I had to try to grow a plant. The African violet died.
I have a problem with keeping some plants but not others. Odd for sure.
It’s Saturday and the weekend.
Until tomorrow....have a great Saturday; and cx as always Stay Safe.

WITH THIS RING
With this ring I give you my friendship
always
Loyalty forever and my undying love
The hands of friendship on the
claddagh hold my heart of love
below the crown of loyalty
I’ll always be there for you in
days of sadness and glad tidings
Love you unconditionally no matter
what comes our way
Stick by your side through stormy days
and darkness of nights
This ring is your reminder of how I
feel each and everyday

OPT
Opportunities were many after
graduating college
Possibility of choosing the right one not
easy
Therefore weighting all the options
an importation decision
🟣🟠🟣🙏🟣🙏🟣🟠🟣🟠🟣🟠🟣
OPTED
Selecting between which guy to date
A decision that weighed heavy on her
mind
Both were nice guys....a hard choice
indeed
One seemed a bit more sure of himself
at times too cocky in his manner
The other mild manner who rolled with
the flow
She opted for the one who made her
laugh

(National Baked Scallops Day; National
Girl Scout Day; Plant a Flower Day;
Middle Name Pride Day and RED
Shirt Friday)
I was not a Girl Scout
I became a Pioneer Girl
One badge I received....the Cooking
Badge
Not for baked scallops
but baked chicken and rice
As I reminisce on those days
I recall my trying to grow an African
violet for another badge
Never had the green thumb
but not a black thumb either
Scottie-ann is just a so so plant
person
It survives....it survives
it doesn’t....it doesn’t
Am I doing something wrong with some
plants....but right with others
At least one thing I do right....wear my RED tee shirt every Friday
