ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeously thoughtful posting. Thank-you so very much. When I was little and unaware of social niceties, I always replied that I wanted a purple wedding gown.
ReplyDeleteYou defined purple people as very creative and eccentric - RIGHT - I have her as a friend. Purple backpack when she went hiking and when she was Section Chair she ordered a new Sierra Club banner in purple and white -not the traditional GREEN! Like it too but liked your post more.

ReplyDeleteHi Jane --- What a fun coincidence!! ! - your blog and a couple of us being over at Hoover today. There was a lot of purple around - the marching band, the flag girls, the choir, and the cheer leaders (a whole bunch of them!). There were purple hydrangeas and balloons as well. The band members were quite splendiferous in their uniforms - black pants, rich purple jackets with a broad silver metal piece by one sholder (sort of like something off of a suit of armour).
I'm really hoping that you and Bob too, of course, will be coming to the reunion as this will probably be the last big one. Joy will be there along with her daughter, Vickie. It would be fun to go to dinner again with the girls like we did before and I would be happy to pick you up. Give it some serious thought. Love, Marilyn
