“The old days are gone forever.”

Happy Friday, readers. I hope you had a nice week. I took Monday off to help at my DAR chapter’s President’s Day event–a wreath laying at the George Washington statute in Lafayette Park. I was tasked with handling PR for the event and was pleased to get both Channel 2 and Channel 5 to send cameras to cover the event. In the St. Louis market, that is a win.
As you can see, the SAR served as the color guard–in historical dress. It was a very nice event and I was pleased to participate. I then went to lunch with my mother, talked to my sister on the phone, and got a pedicure. I just love not going to work.
Today, Mr. Smith went to the groomer and after we enjoyed happy hour at my mother’s house. On the drive home I received this text message.
Naturally, I curled up on the couch with Mr. Smith and we both enjoyed the movie. He was into it.
I love She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and watching it tonight it really struck me that you either get John Wayne or you don’t. And if you don’t, poor you.
On that note, you either get this joke or you don’t.
Have a great weekend!

The Presidents Day event looks great! Since I am to retire soon, I plan to look into joining our local DAR chapter — assuming it still exists…
Yay!
When they are out on patrol in the movie, the troop is accompanied by several barking dogs–which. might explain Mr. Smith’s interest. Also, I’m sure he gets John Wayne!
❤️❤️❤️
I did lol at that meme since Charlie loves Richard Scarry and we love Tracy Chapman. Nice one
