I like the last line the best. We all get dressed up for certain ocassions in life and when they're over we change into our everyday comfort clothes and breathe.<br /><br />Now that I am retired I live in my flop clothes and get dressed up when I leave the house. Which is usually early morning abd late afternoon. So if you were to stop by during siesta time I probably wouldn't be presentable.<br /><br />I heard a phrase two weeks ago, "First impressions are so important, so take the extra five minutes in the morning to put on your jewelry!" Hee.<br /><br />Love your words!~AmesAmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074479473400202674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-69572405533526319752012-08-09T07:30:28.756-07:002012-08-09T07:30:28.756-07:00You had me at the "La Plainte de La Grand Dam...You had me at the "La Plainte de La Grand Dame"...simply, marvelous!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-6717868665386229502012-08-09T04:43:41.707-07:002012-08-09T04:43:41.707-07:00Sue, your work becomes more and more brilliant eac...Sue, your work becomes more and more brilliant each day. <br /><br />I loved this one very much. <br /><br />:) <br /><br />CarolineCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953764061091454844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-6584223700015511412012-08-09T01:34:00.955-07:002012-08-09T01:34:00.955-07:00Great rhyming,Sue!
