"Caps for Sale"

One of my favorite books is "Caps for Sale"! If you haven't had a chance to share this book with your child - now is the time. Now that my son is 23 he not too keen on me reading to him anymore. He has better things to do - like shave his mom's head on a Saturday afternoon. Slowly, methodically he gently drags the razor across my scalp. Daisy and Tiny (dogs) watching with keen interest, as if to say "What the heck are you doing to mom?" "What a great head you have mom", comments Anthony, "you are so lucky - it is perfectly shaped." He is too kind that son of mine.

Friday morning after Mass I receive a wonderful surprise from my Kindergarten friends. A gift box wrapped so lovely, I hesitated to open it. Adorned with a big pink bow amid paper of brown and pink circles! Inside, hats, hats, scarves, scarves! I love hats! Now I have only of almost every imaginable color! A scarf for every hat. How toasty warm I will be in the am. The most stylish teacher on the blacktop! And people wonder how I stay so strong - or do they? These "Caps are Not For Sale"!
