JUST JUNE….Day 26

 I slept in awhile later today.  It was a nice visit with my husband yesterday.

He seemed a bit tired but he did have therapy. As it was Friday my thoughts were on wearing red.  I have a certain pair of shorts I wear with my red shirts. Now that I have a red woman’s army corps veteran hat, I wear that also. 

Yesterday Terry gave us the word MARBLES.  I remember so well shooting them.  For a girl, I was pretty good. I loved showing up snooty boys especially my step-brother.  I think living with my uncle’s family and the boys taught me well how to be a tomboy.  The cat’s eye were of course my favorite marbles.  I considered the green ones lucky for me. 

As the day before, the wacky holidays are in thoughts.   Sometimes I wonder about how one would celebrate.  

I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll never win the Queen of Hearts; my ticket is never picked.  But here I am playing it weekly. 

Tonight I’m attending a karaoke that the Dee Jay is going to use as fund raiser to help school students.  She had a list of items to bring to help.  I don’t mind helping a child in need of items for school; after all not every child is fortunate as others.  

I recall in school we had to bring our own supplies.  A memory just came to me about something a teacher said one time about not having a pen or pencil.  She said brining the right tools is important; you’d never see a carpenter showing up for work without a hammer. 

That stuck with me throughout the rest of that year.  I always made sure I had two pens, two pencils and sufficient notebook paper.  In fact 

Today is Saturday so I hope you all have a great day. 

Until tomorrow….do something fun and as always Stay Safe.

                   THE SHOOTER

It was fun shooting marbles

Getting down on the ground 

carefully taking aim….girls can play as      

   well as boys

Cats Eye were my favorite ones

They seemed luckiest for me

Oh it was a pleasure to take marbles

  from snooty boys

   WACKY HOLIDAYS JUNE 25th

(National Strawberry Parfait Day; 

  National Catfish Day; National Food

   Truck Day and Color TV Day)

                            I 

I remember TV shows in black and 

     white

Our family had the first color set on

  the block

Everyone wanted to flock to our house

  to watch

They didn’t care what shows either

               

                           II 

Food trucks all the rage….like 

   restaurants subject to inspections

Never eaten from a eatery on wheels

Could I get catfish and hush puppies 

  from one

And a strawberry parfait or chocolate 

    mousse from another
