I love people, all kinds, all ages, it doesn't matter, and I'm really getting the hang of this MySpace thing! What about me? I don't know. What do I say outloud to everyone or anyone who might be reading this? OK, I'm a 62 year old woman. But really I don't feel like that's what I am because still fresh in my mind is the day I graduated from kindergarten into the first grade. I had my picture taken in the white dress with the ruffled skirt that I wore as I narrated the program of "Three Billy Goats Gruff" which my class was performing that day in June of 1950 at John Dibert Elementary. I got a really big doll from my Aunt Josie who was Daddy's oldest sister and also my nannan (which means godmother in Italian). She was married to my Uncle Frank, my perran (godfather) and they both ran Frank's Steak House on Freret St. My godparents were great to have back in the fifties, I mean, they were always good for five dollars on any occassion plus there was the restaurant where I could take my high school friends after school since I went to Fortier High School which was on Freret St., too. When I was fifteen, my godparents sponsored me in the Krewe of Freret Annual Carnival Ball where I had my coming out as a Pineapple because the ball had an Hawaiian theme that year. I still have the picture of me taken in a gold satin, sequined gown with a huge green toulle flounce and a sequined headdress that weighted a ton! My escort was a college boy who wore a mask and was named Schylar. I fell instantly in love with him and never understood why he didn't even ask for my phone number. He danced and joked with me a lot, though. I even had a dance card and other college boys danced with me too. So, no, I don't feel like a 62 year old woman, I think I'll always be that kid who loved Mardi Gras.
