She was NAKED!!

And Aubrey was her name

A not so very ordinary a girl, or name

Bread, 1973

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was enjoying the early morning quiet...

sipping my juice and reading blogs.

The quiet didn't last long...
I began to hear the sounds

of thumping and bumping,

grunting and muttering

coming from my bedroom.

Since Tag and Kisa were
both in my eyesight,

I was mystified.

When I walked into my bedroom,
I immediately saw what was going on...
the source of all the noise.

There was Aubrey,

rolling around on the sewing table...

 kicking her feet and
pounding her fists.
A tantrum, for sure.

And, she was naked as a jaybird!

"I am hot, hot, hot!",

she complained.

"Please, Mama!

Please make some 
summer clothes for me.

All I have are these jeans

and this green shirt."

(nice as they are,

I did have to admit that she needed

a summer outfit)

She kicked her feet on the table

and whined,

"If you don't make a summer outfit for me, 

I will remain naked!

Cuz, Mama...I am HOT!"


I took Aubrey in my arms
and whispered in her ear, 
"I am happy to make you a new outfit."


And so, I did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And, here we are...
standing in the doorway of 
my new adventure.
My retirement.

Making clothes for Aubrey

and her many friends.
