April 25 Thoughts ...
 Today is my birthday. Every year I give myself a few presents. First, I do not work on my birthday. Nope, that is my day to do as I please. Second, I have a mammogram. (Don't even ask how I wrap that one!). Third, I sleep late. OK, so this morning it was 8:30. Lucy decided it was time for me to get out of bed and play with her. There is a message I want to share with all my blog friends. This is my philosophy of life. I didn't write this, but I want to share it with you.When I Am An Old Woman...When I am an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandals and say we've no money for butter.I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens and learn to spit.You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat and eat three pounds of chocolate at a go or only bread and pickles for a week and hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes.But now we must have clothes that keep us dry and pay our rent and not swear in the street and set a good example for the children. We will have friends over for dinner and read the newspapers.But maybe I ought to practice a little now so people who know me are not too surprised when suddenly I am old and start to wear purple!
  Mz Scarlett, the Dawgnurse...just proud to be here!
