The Charm of Home and an award...

I am so sorry for letting this post

slip thru the cracks...

I thought I had already posted it but found it in

my drafts and so...

here 'tis....

The sweet SHERRY of The CHARM OF HOME gave this award to me and

 wanted to know 7 things about me..

                                   O DEAR....

 I always wanted to be a flight attendant when growing up.
Back THEN you couldn't wear glasses and this was BEFORE contacts...
I wore glasses so ...nix on that dream.

 (besides...my BOOBS were NEVAH this big....! )

**

 I went to Dallas after graduation and enrolled in JOHN POWERS SCHOOL OF MODELING and loved every single minute of it....EXCEPT I was soooo homesick.

A mere 18 and had never been away from home, ya know.

Engaged and wanted to go home, get married and have a baby.
.....which I did..

**

  I never would have been able to fly DAILY...

I am claustrophobic.

 I didn't even know it until right after we married and Mr. Sweet came in the bedroom where I was making a bed, grabbed a pillow, threw me on the bed and held the pillow over my face.

 OMGosh....I threw him OFF the bed, kicking and screaming,  into a corner and his eyes were the size of saucers.

I just about beat the #%@ out of him and he is STILL apologizing, 50 years later.

 He says, "I'm so sorry I scared you so much"

and I say, "I'm so sorry I beat the *%#@  outa YOU!"

 LITTLE RICHARD...my most favorite rock and roll singer....at the time...

Several friends and I were lucky enuf to go to one of his concerts...

*

He came down the aisle of the auditorium on his motorcycle and all of us teenage girls SCREAMED  until we couldn't speak a word for days and days.

Oh my...he DID put on a show.

Is he even still alive ??

*

During my high school years, my mama forbade me to go out of town...for ANY reason...even for

ELVIS PRESLEY...

well, I did it anyway.

It was only 45 miles away but that didn't make a lick of difference to my mama.

 I WENT...

I SAW...

and I'll never forget the great ELVIS PRESLEY.

 I didn't get caught and I didn't tell my mama until I was grown and had 2 kids.

**

I met the late GREAT  JOHNNY CASH in person.
I swooned all over myself and couldn't utter one single solitary word.

*

I tried....and SPIT JUST RAN DOWN MY CHIN.....

He had sort of a funny look but then, just smiled and patted my hand.

 I didn't wash that hand for a 120 something days....
*
I sure do miss Johnny.

*

NOW...I AM NO MARTHA STEWART..

and I have never even met MR.T

BUT....

I ate spaghetti  with a multi- millionaire once

and he CUT his spaghetti...

I have eaten it that way ever since.

..

I figure if it's good enuf for a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE,

it's good enuf for me...and a whole lot easier....

lol
