A poem by me...

One of my best poems:

Did you wonder if
I caught your glances?
Yes, of course I did
and, I know you caught mine
No, it wasn't infatuation
it was a fascination that
your face graces my imagination
Yes, a shared moment,
and then quickly over.

— A poem by me, Your Glances and My Imagination

Gone With The Wind, Scarlett O'Hara, and Me

I'm reading Gone With The Wind and the lines below caught my attention. I can relate to the part that says "ladies dislike me." I have always felt that ladies dislike me also. Women have always been jealous of other women and it even existed in 1936 when Margaret Mitchell wrote the book and still exists today in 2016. Jealousy is human nature and will never go away.

"I think–I think, she began hesitantly, “that I’ve always been lonely where women were concerned. It isn’t just my working that makes Atlanta ladies dislike me. They just don’t like me anyway. No woman ever really liked me, except Mother. Even my sisters. I don’t know why, but even before the war, even before I married Charlie, ladies didn’t seem to approve of anything I did."

—	Margaret Mitchell, Gone With The Wind

My article got published!

I submitted my "free clothes" article to Woman's World Magazine and it got published in the July 14-20 issue. I noticed they changed some of the wording from my original article, but that's OK. I also received a $25 payment for the article. The check came in the mail yesterday. Cool!

Free Clothes

I recently did some spring cleaning and cleaned out my closet of unwanted clothes. I wanted to give away the clothes free instead of donating them to a charity, who would try to sell them. So, I decided to bring the bag of clothes to my gym where I work out. I placed the bag in the girl's locker room with a sign that said "Free Clothes". People could try on the clothes first before taking them. When I was done with my workout, I was so happy to see that most of the clothes had been taken. As I was leaving, I overheard a woman on her cell phone saying how grateful she was to get free clothes since she was on a tight budget. It felt great to be a secret Santa and to help someone out.

Donald Trump Rally in Rochester, NY

I'm really late with this blog, but better late than never.

I attended the Donald Trump rally held in Rochester, NY on April 10, 2016. What a thrill to see the next president on the United States. Nope, there is no doubt in my mind that he will win. If you haven't attended a Donald Trump rally, I strongly suggest that you attend. It is something you will never forget and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Here's my ticket, which I am keeping as a memento of the event. Thank you for not collecting them.

I headed out early to the Rochester Technology Park (the Elmgrove Plant), where the buses would take us to JetSmart Aviation where the rally was being held. When I got there, I was shocked to see there was already tons of people ahead of me in line. The day was very cold, I forgot my gloves and I was freezing. Luckily, it wasn't a very long wait in line.

While waiting in line, I bought a $5 button from a vendor for a good cause!

The line in back of me, right before getting on the bus. It's another huge crowd for a Trump rally.

The bus taking us to the rally!! Excitement is building!!

The mounted police patrol, keeping the rally safe. Our police did a fantastic job.

The line ahead of me to go through security at JetSmart Aviation. While waiting in line, I heard a cop say they are only letting in the first 6,000,

OK, I made it through security and I got my spot in the crowd. I'm about ten rows back from the podium. Of course, everyone is taller than me, so it's a little difficult to see. A man next to me offers to carry me up on his shoulders. What a nice man!

So, next we wait, standing for a couple of hours. Thank God I wore my comfortable boots. Taking in the crowd, I notice there is all kinds of people around me, young, old, children, lots of women, and lots of vets.

Pastor Mark Burns fires up the crowd!!

Finally, Mr. Donald Trump has arrived and all pandemonium breaks loose. It was awesome! Here's my picture.

Here is Mr. Trump's full speech at the Rochester rally.

Mr. Trump made a fantastic speech and I couldn't have been more pleased. If anybody can bring jobs and prosperity to Rochester, it's Donald Trump. It certainly is not Hillary Clinton. Of course, there were protestors at the rally and I saw them lined up on the street as the buses were leaving. Unfortunately, my bus was moving too fast and I wasn't able to take of picture of the protestors. As far as I know there were no serious problems with the protestors.

So, that's it. The bus brought me back to the Elmgrove plant and I drove home. It was a great experience.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!
