Donna's Journal
January 3, 2004


Feature that!  We did make it. Some how we made it to 2004. Wonderful isn't it?

On television at the moment I'm watching a movie called “The Women.”  At the present there is a fashion show of the models in the year 1937.  By the way, the year I was born. One elaborate gown was priced 250.00.  A big laugh for that.  But, not to complain.  With a fist full of saved dollars, around 300, we made out like you wouldn't believe at  Penny's store and  Wal-Mart.

A  cape Rhonda loves was fifty-eight dollars marked down to nineteen dollars. She looks so classy with the red wrap edged in fake mink. This was at Penny's.

Red, wash out hair dye, for Sister's teenager and a CD turned a pout on her face to all beautiful grins and shiny eyes. I told her, “Be sure this is okay with Mom. I don't want her showing up on my doorstep with this hair dye in her hands.”

“It's okay, Auntie.  I know not to flash around school with it. That is what would get Mom stirred up. And, look!  It washes out.”

“Oh to remember the joys of being a kid again.”  I'm grinning too.

I can't wait to see the two-year-old in the dress, skirt, little tops I found for 2.50 each. Mother is feeling better and loves her cologne. Hubby  and kids better too.. The tribal thing has cooled down, hopefully it will stay that way.

Ran on to one of the tribal leaders of the Kaw's and she brightened up from a stern look to a beaming lovely face when I told her it was a wonderful thing the Kaws are doing for people via the health clinic. It wasn't flattery. I meant it and felt rather like honored to know the woman who accomplished so much as to providing a sparkling clean health clinic, which has such a qualified staff.

For the many folks I've met, appreciate and yes, even love, I feel I've grown this year. Some have been gracious enough to come in person to meet us and these are the bright places in our life. So many have great problems. It encourages me to know each one works through the thorns in their life. I'm encouraged and inspired and for this, Thank You.
