  • A First and A Howdy

    Let it be know that I never blogged before. If I had, I blacked out soon after and never regained that memory. When I was first told that I needed to blog, I was alarmed. From the word’s onomatopoeic nature, I incorrectly guessed it’s meaning and figured that if it was something I needed to…

    MAY POLE CELEBRATION

    People have asked me…why a May Pole celebration? In 1958, I was the beloved queen of The Estrella Triangle Daughters of the Eastern Star (a female branch of Masons)..I had regalia..I even wore a gown one year. I have always been the queen! When I was in kindergarten, we had a spring celebration and I…
