Nanna and the DRESS FOR SUCCESS TIE
Posted By drsao on June 5, 2008
At Leanna’s middle school today is DRESS FOR SUCCESS DAY! The 6th graders were promised EXTRA CREDIT if they wore a tie.
Leanna’s Poppa does not wear ties (at least not one that Leanna wanted to wear)…..what to do – what to do. My THRIFTY DAUGHTER didn’t want to spend money to buy a tie for a ONE TIME USE!
So ….. Leanna’s Great Grandparents in Kansas City, Missouri came to the rescue…..they sent Leanna one of my daddy’s ties. (He must have attracted a lot of LOOKS when he wore this tie!)
Last night Leanna rehearsed…….(Poppa pre-tied the tie!) It is a beautiful – and bright – pretty pink tie……yes, she looks dressed for success, but we will have to lose the pjs!
AND….ta da….here she is this morning – ready for school. I am sure she will be successful with her Vera Bradley bag and the fancy ITALIAN tie! HM….maybe she should lose the shorts and sweatshirt! (She had to dress out for PE!)
I know the tie will bring her good fortune – today is Social Studies SOL testing. Don’t all successful young women carry cats when they wear pink ties?
Oh well, just for luck, let’s kiss the cat! (If you heard a THUD, it was my daddy falling over and fainting in Kansas City! Germs – what germs? Surely a sweet little kitty would not have germs!)
Thanks GG and Pop JB for sending the tie all the way from Kansas City, MO to be worn on DRESS FOR SUCCESS DAY in Midlothian, VA!
The little “PRECIOUS MOMENTS DOLL” is baby Leanna in 1997 being held by Great Grandmother (GG) with cousin Harry on his 2nd birthday (HE IS NOW 13 YEARS OLD) being held by Great Grandfather (JBA) – the former owner of the beautiful PINK TIE! (I just had to include this picture!
I hope it is a successful day for everyone…..remember to wear a smile with your tie….that will surely bring smiles in return – and that is what I call success!
