Premium Member Purple Pondering
I’m at the age where I’ve grown really long hair And I don’t denim care That the trend is to cut it No longer wearing high heels Just for a flex or a thrill More about how my feet feel And they don’t love it I don’t have many pink plans Flying by seat of peach pants Keeping my praying hands I am blessed with contentment...

My brother Richie used to turn into a loon when he got the old Maid. His face would turn red, scarlet, plum, and a bright fuchsia shade.

She gallops...
