The Barbara Show: The New Numbers

The New Numbers

What a quiet day, the beginning of my new year. Even the numbers are new...1...1....11....see ? all new!

Here's a toast to all of you, wishing everyone who read this health, love, peace, contentment, and a full belly.

What? no diet..it is the beginning of January, and we will be slammed with a zillion commercials and ads to diet, to exercise our brains out..well more like our butts..

All because of a New Years Resolution...which I refuse to make, I already knew coming into this year I had things I needed to do and no amount of the general media is going to influence me. I don't need them.

A change is gonna come...it's well on it's way anyhow ...hey, I can hum the tune...but right now more importantly I'm rehearsing the song.

Happy New Year

Y'all!

Confetti would be nice - a comment even better.
Either one is greatly appreciated.

Parades

There were parades every Memorial Day, to honor our men that were brave, for the ones that made it back and the ones that didn't. Parades for Labor Day, Halloween, Christmas and just about any other holiday were a big deal in my town. Going to the Park later for a picnic and a swim at the pool was something to be yearned for but is filed safely back in the section of Heartfelt memories. Fried Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad were a part of our treasured times, hearing the carousel and smelling the the cotton candy, and the lines never seem to cease when you're so thirsty for the lime soda at the concession stand, that looks straight out of "Life with Father".
I wake up and my memories are filed and I look out the window and see the litter, the lack of Norman, hear the rude obnoxious base pulsating off my windows and wonder what is so good about all of this. I walk back to the file and I pull it out once again and I 'm reminded of a time when just a parade was passing us by.
