transforming

Quietly enjoying a day in my life.

One that I am eternally thankful my parents gave me.

It was before television, computers, internet, cell phones.

The telephone was wired into the wall and it was a party line.

When reading books and writing letters transported us

to ideas, friends and family.

I am grateful to have been part of that era. 

Moons later....

to celebrate my day, I made sure to have something to open.

 

Months ago, on a clearance rack at the local thrift store, this smart cotton jacket

was begging for a second chance. An Eileen Fisher number with a nifty

off-set zipper, pockets and a double layer of fabric here and there.

The color was just wrong.

    If it was to be a birthday jacket it would

be colored with November.

Bundled up it was left to wait for my day.

I am hoping Eileen approves but if not, at my age, it's just fine.

I rather like it.
