Self, buy a bling-y Tiara o’ the Day to match my bejeweled necklace Tie o’ the Day. ASAP!
Note To Self
Speaking Of Back To School
When I went to Head Start, the bus picked me up right in front of my house and took me to the school in Hinckley. This slide shows me getting on the bus to go off to my first day in the public school system. I was not yet 4. Note that our dog, Dumb Dumb, escorted me to the bus—before reverting to dogness and sniffing the bus tire for evidence of other mutts.
Mr. Farnsworth, the Hinckley principal, does our Tie o’ the Day honors. Mrs. Flora Wood was my Head Start teacher, but I was convinced she was really Mae West. I was positive all that glamour and wit could not come out of some regular lady from Millard County. I slipped up a few times and called her Mrs. West. It didn’t faze Mrs. Wood one bit.

BTW I cannot convey to y’all how much I loved the jacket I was wearing in my class picture. I still want it.
