Does look lip-smackin' good

I love this poem. Thank you, Miss Aussie. Have a blessed weekend.

Aussie that was hilarious. I'm still chuckling as I try to write this!!!!!! You be safe my friend,

Dorothy Parker, in this ditzy poem, sounds much like a charter member of the Red Hat Society. I love Jenny Joseph's poem, their theme:

When I Am Old.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
And run my stick along the public railings,
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
Or only bread and pickle for a week,
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised,
When suddenly I am old
and start to wear purple!

:) darambo and mamag - hugs.

LuvsWesterns that was fantastic, I loved it. It was so funny and true at the same time. I think I will wear purple and wear a red hat that doesn't go also!! Thank you! Be safe.

I also loved it when I first saw it, darambo -- especially the "But maybe I ought to practise a little now" is such fun. The Red Hats around here go to lunch or movies wearing red and purple (the elders -- the ones in their 40s wear pink and lavender), and have regular meetings and activities. Lots of fun and laughter -- the kind of gals who are good eggs -- maybe even a little cracked! LOL. Glad you found enjoyment in it. Hugs galore!

LuvsWesterns we have a very small group of Red Hats here that just formed Will look into joining them and I will wear purple with a red hat, what fun they sound like. Could use more friends that are cracked, like me lol ;-D Be safe.

Sounds like fun. Let me know how you like the group! Take care -- lots of smiles coming your way, too.

I used to eat fried green tomatoes now I can't stand them. My dad was a good gardener. My mom was great with flowers. All I know how to do is kill 'em. Although my poinsettia is really thriving since Christmas and two vines I have had for a while. I still want to some planting when I get time.

Nborchardt don't knock container gardening that's how I grow most of my produce( that way the gophers don't get it ) and flowers can be very beautiful grown in containers. All those different tomatoes really didn't become available until lately. I knew about them but had never eaten them until about 10 years ago, but they weren't easy to find until the last few. Hope your containers grow long and strong and be safe.

Nborchardt, I never knew there were different colors either. I always assumed that other colors were just different stages of ripeness! I thought the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" was about cooking up unripe tomatoes! This summer, a friend of mine showed pictures on Facebook of some beautiful PURPLE tomatoes that he had grown. He had harvested over 50 tomatoes from one plant so far! He said they are fantastic in salads, salsas, and just eaten from the vine!

Thanks Darambo! I don't feel so badly about my container garden! Blessings!

Nborchardt, another blessing of container gardening is no WEEDS! That's how I do all my flowers. Very low maintenance.

Good one Akan had forgotten about the added bonus of no weeds and that is probably the best part of container gardening! Be safe.

Good luck on your move! I hate moving but I can see how it could be very exciting.

Best wishes in your new place. I could not wait to get settled in after this last move. I am so happy I finally found my "happy place." No more moving for me. Everyone keeps asking me what I will do if anything happens to my husband. Just give it God and He will take care of things and see me through. I hope you have found your happy place as well rahrah.

Rah you were first this morning! I got a late start this morning and then I ran off to do " one " thing, forgot to hit pause and 1 1/2 hour later here I am again! Hope you have a wonderful day my friend and everyone stay safe.

Rah and Mamag glad you are settleded or will soon be. Thought I was also, now I find myself looking for another place for peace. Not looking forward to moving, maybe we should just stay put and ignore all the bad? One good thing our house is paid for. I worked 3 jobs at a time for years and Ed drove truck so we could pay it off. I'm so happy we did it now, it was worth it in the end. Moving is so hard, just don't over do it. All your things will still be there, to do the next day( at least that's what I tell myself! ) Please be safe and I'll say a little pray that your move goes well and you will be safe and content in your new place.

Thanks guys. It went pretty good, we basically got the furniture, clothing and necessities moved. Medical equipment, etc. Still have to do some purging and final cleaning at the old place before we're done, but my daughter is more than willing to help. Her husband and daughters helped A LOT today, too. They've been preparing my room for some time now, so it was all brand new carpet, paint, curtains, a/c, etc. I am blessed! Sore........but blessed! lol

We pretty much took the day off today, thankfully! We go at it again tomorrow. My daughter's taking the day off tomorrow, and we'll get a lot done. I'm hurting pretty bad tonight, not from the move though, just everyday stuff. It'll pass, and then I will feel so relieved until the next time. :) My son in law & I are getting closer every day. He's been such a blessing to me, as are my daughter and granddarlings.

Rah so glad things went so smoothly during your move, Moving can be very high stress as you know I'm sure. Wonderful you had help, makes it so much easier. Sounds like your daughter and her family are very happy to have you there, you are very blessed. A brand new room, how exciting!! Go slow getting settled, all that stuff is not going anywhere. Be safe my friend.

Thanks for the reminder to go slow. I needed that! lol
