My Fair Lady Night at Young Women's

 

Last night at Young Women's we hosted a "My Fair Lady" Night for the girls. A very short play was performed by all the Leaders. We opened with a young women asleep in her bed and three angels visit her and take her to the past, future, and present. There were three scenes and at each scene we went over how a lady would sit, act, dress and conduct herself. At the conclusion we had questions and scenarios on strips of paper in a mason jar. The girls each took a strip of paper and read the question or scenario and discussed what they would do. The comments and insights from the girls were pretty amazing. There was a lot of discussion about dress and how guys view your dress and why the same standards are not applied to how guys dress and... this one was the best ... There is a fine line between dressing so a guy will notice you and dressing not like a lady -- the dialogue between the girls on this topic was priceless.

Where a girl can be a girl...

Sarah:  Mama, do you want to be a Doctor?
Me:  No
Sarah:  What about an x-ray person?
Me:  No
Sarah:  Well, what about a folder person?
Me:  What is a folder person?
Sarah:  You know, those people who walk around and check the folders.

Today  Sarah wanted to do a Spa-Day with her friends.  She spent this morning preparing for their arrival.  Remember when all we had to do was to keep our ponytails straight and catch fireflies?  Times have changed.......

Remembering Audrey

The bus ride home seemed endless with cold blasts of  winter pouring through the cracks in the windows.    Finally my stop -- It was time and I did not want to miss one minute.  Taking the stairs two at a time I sat on the edge of the bed and turned on the small black and white TV.  It was Audrey Hepburn week.   For me that week was an introduction to what would become some of my favorite movies and of course my favorite movie star.  Years later I would share this love with my children who in turn found her just as fascinating.

This Sunday, January 20th, will be 20 years since the death of a timeless icon.  She had a style all her own, she was graceful, charming, and enchanting.  Her quotes have become legend as is her beauty.

 

To honor this Oscar-winning star -- the editors of Time Life have released a reissue of Life's Classic Illustrated Biography from 1993 and titled it "Remembering Audrey  20 years later."

Welcome January

O winter! frozen pulse and heart of fire...

 

 

 

With Christmas packed away the house seemed less cheery. Having never decorated for January I thought our house needed something as a transition.  Snowflake ornaments with brown snowflake ribbon bought at Hobby Lobby at 80% off.  This cost --$1.60 to hang on the mirror in the front hallway

 

 

 

 

 

 

The picture did not turn out as well as I would have liked.  The deer is by Robert Stanley Home Collection (retail price is $79.99) which was purchased for $7.00.

 

Who knew January decorating could be so inexpensive when shopping after Christmas Sales.
