"Who WOOD have thought?"


Denise's granddaughter Jillian spent the night this week and she really loves to dress up, put on make-up and style hair (like her Mom & Nana).   So, she asked her Nana if she could put her make-up on.  "Nana" (Denise) thought it would be safer to have her dry her hair.  So Jillian was very excited about that, she was going to be the hairdresser.  Combing through the wet hair she said, "Nana, your hair looks like my sewing machine string.  I could cut it off and use it to sew something in my sewing machine that Santa brought me!"  Denise said she really didn't think she wanted a haircut so Jillian continued to dry it.    All finished up with make-up and hair, Jillian said, "NOW you look like GEORGE WASHINGTON!"  Nana responded...."at least my teeth aren't wooden" and Jillian said "yeah, but how about that nose?!?"    Who WOOD have thought?

"Before she died"

Welcome "Friday" Friends!  

"Gladys Friday" visited a dear friend recently and during the conversation, I couldn't help but wonder........(please insert SOUTHERN DRAWL here, slow it down and add a dip of snuff if you'd like)

"Gladys, you member Estelle don't ye?  Well, she wuz my Momma an nems neighbor fir yeeers.   They used to sit on the front porch and dip snuff together, theyz real close.  Well anyhow, before she died she'd call me up and ask me to take her down thur to the laundry mat to warsh her clothes.  So, I'd carry her down thar.  Em yunguns didn't come round er and help er out one bit til theyz a needin' someum.  Then theyz a callin her all the time.  I remember one day she had me to carry her over ta post office to mail em yunguns a check, course that was for she died.   Lord have mercy when I'd take her sommers like at and we'd git back, she'd make us some biskits and coffee and them wuz sum of the bestest I'd ever eat in my life....course that was before she died.  I shore do miss Estelle.  You eat her biskits for she died, ain't ye Gladys?  Can you make em biskits?  I shore am hungry!  I miss at Estelle"  

During the conversation, "before she died" just hit me!  Think about it.....how many times do you think she's called SINCE she died?   Hopefully she isn't needing clean laundry, or needing to mail a check.....but now them biskits!    Mmmmm ~ I shore do miss Estelle!  

Isn't it fun to think about what we are saying and even funnier to think about what someone ELSE is saying?  I'm just sayin'

"Ginger's Story"


Happy New Year my friends!  I hope you all enjoyed Christmas with the ones you love.  I bet you were happy to see the car lights pulling in with family and friends....and just as happy to see their tail lights pulling out of the driveway.  Those wonderful moments make memories to be cherished for a lifetime.

Well, I found someone that seemed a bit let down after the holidays, feeling a little left out.  I'd like to tell you her story as I see it.

This is "Ginger" ~ I walked by my kitchen table, looking down at the tray of cookies and "she" caught my eye.  She seemed to be feeling a bit crummy and looking a little rough around the edges after the holidays, feeling like a leftover.  She was hurt because everyone had been telling her how pretty she was, how wonderful she smelled and just how much they loved her....and then.....





What WAS SHE THINKING!  After all...the holidays were over!!  Now, no one gave her a second look.  She feared being tossed away....being just a memory.  But she had so many plans...





Soccer anyone?  "I've been feeling a little full in the middle so I had hopes to run and play and get back into shape!  I was once thin!"















"....and Santa even brought ME a pair of skates!  I wish some of my friends were still here.  They are LONG GONE by now....."

"Well, time for a new frosting.....so to the salon I go....."



















She had heard talk about "raisin eyebrows" too so I'm sure she'll have them waxed while she's there.  

The Adventures of Ginger 
As it turned out....she had a great day and wasn't leftover after all.  You see, Ginger was the most special cookie that everyone wishes to keep around.  



Denise Price Thomas & "Gladys Friday" wish you a wonderful 2013....
Let's all remember to ~ "Say when you mean....mean what you say....but don't say it mean"
