Lynn and I went to the same college, where we met each other. The students there made a fairly big deal of "Sadie Hawkins Day." It is the day of the year where women can ask men to dance or go on a date. There was a dance on Sadie's day and Lynn made me a corsage. That corsage was a bit outrageous by normal flowers-on-or-in-the-recipient's lapel standards. The two of us recently disagreed about the ingredients and appearance of her winning creation.
I remember carrot greens and a ridiculously oversized bunch at that. She made it but says my memory is way off as usual. She says it was made from marshmallow peeps and long wooden stick stems. We both remember it won a prize for beauty and originality.
Anyhow, today is a fine day to communicate to someone that you are grateful to have in your life, even someone you are normally shy about.
Bye-bye, Sadie H Day! See you in four years!
