The Planner for 2010...Plannin On Pink Saturday...ForSure!

Have you noticed how the New Year Calendars begin to hit the market places earlier every year? It's not like the year doesn't 'FlyBy' quick enough these days that we need to hurry up and wait for the next one. I usually get a 'Refill' calendar for the 'Planner' Thingy I carry in my purse.

You know the one you vow to keep track of those important dates for the whole year, and around May or June you find it in the bottom of your purse with the last entry made on January 15th, and because it's been lost there in the deepest, darkest and dirtiest Secret compartment of your bag, the pages are stuck together, crumbled on the edges and filled with crumbs of who knows what.

That's why I don't 'Resolute' about calendars anymore!

So rather than look forward this January, I thought I'd take a look back at a few January's of Yesteryear.

Last month I began to notice Calendars in the Yesteryear Places...that'd be Antique, Thrift and Flea Markets.

Here's one of my favorites, so let's go back to January 1951.

Yep, that's this GRIT and my Dad...without his Stetson.

Probably not January, but definately in West Texas beside Dad's Pink Nash Rambler.  Aren't those Boots a Hoot? You can bet they were Tony Lamas and bought in El Paso, Texas.

 

Girls Raised in Texas in 1951 absolutely DID NOT run around in their Panties! What was my Mama, thinkin?

Since she wasn't a girl raised in Texas, but Iowa, she didn't yet know that was a 'Texas NoNo'.

Either that or I decided it was too hot for clothes and stripped right there in the front yard.
