Chocolate mousse in Paris

Sunday was my birthday.
am wearing Nancy's grass hula skirt,
memento from Hawaiian adventure in 1929 or 1932
am wearing a festive chapeau
gift from my aunt when I was three
am wearing a corpirate "beater" tank
skeleton on front.
When Nancy was queried as to celebrating her 80th,
she replied, "chocolate mousse"
"in Paris."
and off she went.
as I sit before Jeanne's bernina
familiarizing myself
I am thankful to have two strong women's
earthly bits and bobs
whispering advice
as I continue
my life's hula.

* I met Kat Ford last Friday. A fresh young talented lady artist . http://www.corpirateusa.com/ is her company.
