What's In Pangie's Hall Closet

** This is only about my hall closet. His gigantic sisters and brothers are in other rooms.** A plethora of aged but lovely shoes and slippers, I can no longer wear. Jackets, sweaters, raincoats without rip or a tear. Even Mother's mink stole, I wore to my daughter's wedding. Those thigh-high white boots, woo-hoo! Perfect in California's gentle, loving weather. Sturdy umbrellas for a drought- ridden California? Attractive paper shade umbrellas! for when the temperature outside is 103 degrees. Arg! A deep aquamarine leather jacket, which when worn, makes me feel like an attractive queen! Plaid boxes of treasured photos through the years. Running shoes, white, floral, silver and gold. These are only some treasured, items I do use and find joy to simply behold. 4/25/2021

A treasure trove of past memories, each item holds a memory of yesteryear. Tom

An honor to be on your list! Love your outright expressiveness.... Thank you, John. I live strength in men and women...I am no sheep. I have tried a few forms..not trying to be tbe Bardfav poet is EE Cummings. Plain, to the point, knocks my socks off... Not trying to impress the crowd. True to himself. You are a phemonemal poet....can't wait to see your works...Panagiota xx you are on my list))

I loved the 70's. Glad you picked up on that! Such sweet years, for me, Arturo. Got to meet Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, got to be an extra in a movie with Jackie Gleason. Started Teaching in Chinatown in SF..,,great Brotherhood, peace and respect for each other in those years, Now here I am writing about my closet. PS. Glad there were landlines back then and TV's you just plugged in....))). Ciao, my friend, Pangie. Glad you like it. Hugs, Pangie xx
