What every woman should know

MAYA ANGELOU'S' BEST POEM EVER
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .... something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .. a youth she's content to leave behind....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE... one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her
cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .... a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ... eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .. a feeling of control over her destiny...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... what she would and wouldn't do for love or more.....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. . whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table.. or a charming Inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... What she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year...

Items from the past

I have been trying to take pictures of items that I grew up with that are no longer around.
Someday the future generations may like to see a picture of items that we once used but now are obsolete. To think these items may even be condsidered "antiques"!!!



Can you believe that when I was growing up this was the only way I could call to get help, or to check in with home. I don't remember using it to talk to friends.

This was the type of TV I remember having at home. The knobs are no longer on this one, but I do remember having to turn the channels. No remote (except for us children) & we only had about 5-6 channels!!

I don't have any of my 45's So I am glad I got this picture when we visited Sun Records Studio in Memphis, TN.
This is what I actually played my records on!! I don't believe you can even get parts for these "Stereos" anymore. I remember my first record was by Shaun Cassidy - "Do Run Run".
I have my cassettes packed away somewhere. Ole the good OLE DAYS!!
Does any of these items bring back any memorys? Can you remember what your first Record was? Please stroll down memory lane with me, and if you want to post any of your "antiques" leave me a comment and I will be sure to come by and check them out - We can stroll together!!
