So if you clicked comedy for this response, you would see it and I would see it, but other members would not see it.

Your fedora is a real signature for you. </p> <p>When you look at your original post - to the bottom right (right of the heart and flower/wheel) there is a little square box with a pencil looking icon. Click on that and you can edit your original post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-fedora-and-a-carnation#post-1815033 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 01:26:52 +0000 Suz 1815033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-fedora-and-a-carnation#post-1815027 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 00:21:49 +0000 bridgie 1815027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Corrections: Paragraph 4, 2nd line should&nbsp;be towel dry, not towel day.

LOL. My job would be taking care of beverage table.&nbsp; I needed to be there at 10:00am.&nbsp; Wear anything I wanted to.&nbsp; This meant do not ask what to wear, I do not have time to tell you and you do not have time to stress over it.</p> <p>Log out of YFL. When I am short on time, I allow 7 minutes for a shower, towel day, and think of what to wear.</p> <p>O.K. The graduating class of 27 six year olds, going into 1st. grade in the fall. Ah ha, decorations and refreshments would be colorful and fun. Surely some red there.&nbsp; I chose white long straight jeans, a tee with red, blue, yellow beach scene.&nbsp; Very pretty, I think, but short sleeves.&nbsp; I have to cover my upper arms.&nbsp;I have a shrunken white burn out topper I wore. Added my two tone denim sneaks with bright pink stripe Levi's for comfort, topped everything off with my new watermelon fedora.</p> <p>I casually strolled in at 9:55 and took my place.&nbsp;It was steady and fast paced for at least 1 hour.&nbsp; Believe you me, this is the type thing I thrive on.&nbsp; One of my musings: 27 graduates, their parents, grandparents, and siblings, a total count of approximately 150, and not one person, other than me wore a hat.&nbsp; I did get a pedi later in the day, skipped the mani.</p> <p>Fast forward to Saturday afternoon. Shortly after I got home from the meeting at the library my 3yr old great-granddaughter and her father appeared at my door. Great granddaughter was holding two carnations. Two my eye they were watermelon color.&nbsp; She reached one to me.&nbsp; Her grandfather explained that the Child Development Center Director gave one to Great granddaughter and the other was for me, to match the hat I had worn Enough said!</p>
