and I have few photos of myself – for lots of reasons. One reason just pisses me off every time I think about it so we won’t go there because today is Silly Day. Also, my husband could never figure out how to work a camera, so for all the years I’ve been married (the last 31 years) very few photos of me taken by him.
On IG today I posted my clowny photo – I bought that clown mask at the circus and wore it all night. I like clowns, lots of folks suffer from coulrophobia, I’m not one of them. I love clowns (except Ronald McDonald, he’s creepy and…bad food.)
I never dressed as a clown when I was a kid but adulthood brought out the clown in me –
Never one to pose, and tho hating to have my photo taken, it seems I didn’t have a problem mugging for the camera –
Plus photos of me wearing silly things – like parrots –
Or rubber chickens –
Or even goofy slippers (which drove the cats crazy, they hated those slippers)-
Yup, silly photos for Silly Day…
Thank you for sharing the silly! I’ve been incredibly sad and you brought a much needed smile today.

Grief is so complicated; sadness at the loss of someone from your life and yet in remembering all that they were to you, that brings smiles. Let the tears and smiles come. 💜

Yay for silliness! While I have frequently wanted to bop people over the head with a rubber chicken, I’ve never actually owned one.

It was my brother’s rubber chicken. I have no idea why he had one, but there you go…

These are great! All of them. But I don’t blame the cats for being wary of the slippers.

I think I have more silly pics – but these will do for now. I just noticed there is a bird theme going on here – inclluding the slippers!

I was young in that photo, 21 or 22, and wearing normal make-up even – youth trumps everything!

Thanks – I think some people are surprised when they discover my go-to attitude is “silly” When people ask me how old I am I say 6 – because I am.

Even in the ones where you are 20’s to 30’s there is variance.

I figured you were probably a knockout back in the day. Guess I was right.
