Hats

Good morning, Girlies!
I hope this finds you both enjoying maybe your second or third cup of our beverage of choice...lol...well, I won't say it's the only beverage of choice, just the morning one..lol.
I have just come inside from sitting on the front porch watching the sunrise while a cat wrapped itself over and over around my legs ( why on earth do cats do that? they just won't let you sit outside in peace...lol...but, it's really sweet the way "Puppy" ( yes, you guys remember Puppy don't ya? ) always does this...it's like he is so in love with you that he can't contain himself...he reminds me of a whirling dervish...LOL. When Ringo and I sit outside and he does this to him, he will pick him up and toss him many times and he just keeps coming back..He calls him a few names, of course..I always say, "Awww, he loves you!..He always says, " No, he's just marking his territory!"...LOL....I have to disagree...I think Puppy just loves him...simple as that.
It's like Puppy is saying " Nothing is going to stop me from loving you!
Nothing! You can throw me 50 feet away and I will just come back!"
And so, this morning I am drinking a toast to Puppy from my owl mug full of Folgers....may we always be as relentless with the showing of our love to others as Puppy.
Girls, I am so wanting a new hat for the winter...looking up beautiful outfits for Blondie made me want one...:) I wish that people were more accepting of hats here... What is wrong with people here? Hats were the foundation of a gentle southern lady's wardrobe in days gone by...I can't tell you how many of them I found in my attic when we moved in here..They were beautiful! The little pill box hats of the 50's and 60's like Jackie O wore...They were damaged beyond repair, but it was so neat to imagine what they looked like on the lady of the house complete with smart little sleeveless dress and gloves.. It's like, if you wear a hat here now, you better have a reason. ( Ex: Your wedding veil, sun hat at the beach, baseball cap at football games..that's about all that is accepted here )... A beautiful, vintage hat will get you looked at funny, like " She's got to not be from here, look at that funny hat!"....and a redneck camo hat will not get a second look. Why is that? I think I am going to buy me a fabulous hat and I am going to wear it and if I get looked at like I am the eccentric old bag lady that makes cupcakes, then so be it! Are you with me girls?
And.....I have decided today to go with a more dramatic ( as Gypsy called it last night lol ) eyeshadow color ...purple!!! I am so stuck in a rut with my makeup colors... And so, I will leave you both with wishes for a wonderful day and I am going to go now and apply my purple eyes and get ready for the day...lol.
So excited....today is Mermaid painting class! :) LOL I made mermaid cupcakes to take to everyone...LOL...I know, I will probably be looked at strangely...may as well wear a hat and do it up right, huh? LOL
Love you both dearly!
