When I Am Old

When I am old, first thing in the morning, I'll slip on a pair of high heeled shoes.  Even when I'm wearing a silky night gown, just like my grandma did.

When I am old, I will enjoy a fresh cup of strong coffee with real cream and sugar.  Grandma drank her coffee weak.  It smelled delicious but looked more like tea rather than the rich, smooth brew I will drink.

When I am old, I want to look pretty.  I will fix my hair every day, even if nobody cares. I'll change the color and style often, just to keep life interesting.  I'll wear nothing but fancy clothes, even if I have no place to go.

When I'm old, I will drive a great big Cadillac.  Or maybe I'll still own my little yellow car.  Either way, I will drive a bright color vehicle-no silver, or gray or white for me.  I remember my grandma drove a big car, like she owned the freeway.

I'm not sure about hobbies, but when I am old, I will be on a mission.  I'll be part of the church ladies and stay busy.  I'll blog about more important things than the weather.  Grandma never had a chance to blog or use the internet.  I'll bet she would have loved it.
