It was above zero today — the temperature, not my earnings. So I decided to get fixed up and get out of the house.
I got all dressed up to drop off Bill — my water bill.
I wore black slacks and a black silk shirt which I topped with a black alpaca wool sweater. A gold jacket with black trim was perfect. All set. After grabbing my black leather phone bag, gold and black scarf, and gold gloves, I set off.
The air was crisp and I felt young and classy.
I went to Dollar General because we don’t have a Walmart in my little village.
Feeling regal, I went to the wine shop and the art gallery.
Yes, it was a nice little outing.
It felt good to get into some decent clothes.
Back at home, I dropped all my odds and ends and the black bags. Put my black-lined gold jacket on the hall tree. Then sat down to read a book. I put my feet up and…
HOT PINK FUZZY SOCKS!
So much for being all dressed up.
