Francie's Fancy

Fancy is as fancy does
    and Francie never really was
Prone to wear a fancy dress
    only under great duress
    made her antsy and distressed
Francie much preferred the woods
    pants, she wore, because she could
    whose she was, she understood
What you get is what you see
    delightful femininity

I really like Francie, Jeff. She has those down-home "what you see it what you get" qualities that are so attractive to me. If she is your wife, Jeff, you are a very lucky man!

I am a blessed man! Frances is only about part way to Francie, but she enjoys living in the country, in the woods, away from the bustle of city life. My daughter Gwen is likely the closest - she's at home raising chickens, goats, rabbits, raising kids, and spending lots of time in the woods. She plays the cello at church, but in pants, because, well, it's hard to play the cello in a dress (I'm told).

Francie and I would be great friends.

I want my granddaughters to grow up knowing they can do anything they want, limited only by their biology. What's going on in the world for some girls makes me sad. Feel like we've taken a huge leap backward.
