grandbaby b and i shared the wonder

of the magic snow that came from the ceiling 

at her very first real play,

the grinch.

i think, at a child’s birth,

if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift,

that gift would be curiosity.

for age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in another dress,

and as the evening twilight fades away, the sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

mg took me out

for a big birthday night

relaxed fancy dinner

4 star restaurant

chocolate

concert

great company.

we looked up the dress code

before leaving home

and were so very pleasantly surprised.

Dress Code
We want all of our guests to feel comfortable.

Therefore, all guests must comply with our dress code.

Anyone found in violation will be required to leave.

• No see-through clothing
• No exposed private parts
• No offensive material or language
• No visible undergarments

we wondered what must have happened for them

to have felt the need put this code in place.

and it also

 really put a damper on my planned ensemble.

‘good humor is one of the best articles of dress

one can wear in society.’

or not just about the bad things. it is both.
