ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVES!

Flash back with me to the '50s, when I'm six feet tall at fifteen, a little freaky in its time - for a girl. Of course there were nicknames -

 Lofty Tofty, Long Sam, Shorty (the worst), Amazon (better), Long Tall Sally (ducked back in the alley), 

Jolly (thanks to a pea growing giant).

Some even claimed I could hunt bear with a switch.

AND THEN THERE ARRIVED

SKINNY MINNIE

She ain't skinny, she's tall, that's all!

Being easily spotted led to classmate serenades of Minnie's measurements on my behalf or sometimes a run at...

Bony Moronie

she's a stick'a macaroni!

But oddly through these, I felt a little more affirmed. If skinny was okay, pubescent brain cells could safely fantasize how Minnie's boyfriend made room for both skinny and tall. Whatta guy, what a possibility.

Here and now, I'm in a once-in-a-lifetime 72 inches at 72 years event, rewarded through glimpses of a former self transformed in the many tall and self-assured women of today.

And yes, I'm still questing for Home and, like anything else, what's inside has to fit, literally and metaphorically, right? So here's my heart in furnishings, the absolute must haves, for this Skinny Minnie Grandma Big:

A WRITING TABLE,

the very soul of me.
Easy, simple Shaker style.

Drawer for pens, notebook and
scribbled notes I'll never read again.

Crafted by Grandson Noah from 100 year-old Douglas Fir !

Custom made at proper height, lots of leg room.

TALL WINDOWS,
soothing scenes.

Those fishies? Nice touch,
a kimono size long please.



Perfect Chair

for writing, multi-adjustable!

My Lightness of Being for old bones,
I love all that you are.
