#50 - Hankies

​Vintage Hankies
​

When I was in first grade, we had hanky checks every morning. When Mrs. Clemen called for our hankies, we raised them up in the air, so she could see.

If we forgot our hanky, we were told to stand in the front of the class. I never had a fancy hanky like my grandmother Daw, but I tried darn hard to never forget my plain white one.

​Heidi's Wedding Day
​
On my daughter's wedding day, I gave each of her bridesmaids one of my grandmother's hankies.

I teased that it was an emotional day and we all needed our hankies.

I gave Leigh Anne a hanky, too. Leigh Anne was the officiant. She and Heidi have also been childhood friends, from the age of 4. These five girls mean so much to me. They've all played an important role in Heidi's life. It seemed like a fun gift.

Put to Use
​
​
Little did I know, the hankies would be put to good use. Some of the girls got teary as they pulled the hankies from the bags. Heidi laughed that she needed her hanky before the "First Look".

Leigh Anne handed Heidi a hanky during the ceremony and the maid of honor is seen sniffling into hers. 

I've always loved those hankies since my grandmother let me raid her collection. But I love them more, knowing they have good homes!

    Sixty
    Celebrations

    It's April 9, 2017.  I'm celebrating my 60th by removing the zero from my age.

    Party
    ​Like A Six-Year-Old


    I plan to spend this year pondering the good things I remember about my world, when I was 6. I remember those 12 months well, because my family moved from Iowa to NYC for just one year. My memories of 1963-64 are vivid ones.

    My Plan

    I'll celebrate this milestone birthday for 12 months. I'm going to conjure up the early 1960's and have 60 mini celebrations... in the spirit of my 6 year old self!
