Shall We Dance on Rednesday

(Please visit Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for more Rednesday fun!)

It's also the Mister's birthday today, Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Please think a good thought for my doggie and me today. I'm off myself to the Dermatologist shortly to have a couple of things removed and biopsied - I'm a bit (a lot!) anxious. And then our doggie will do the same, I found a pea or bean sized lump on her muzzle yesterday. Hopefully it's just one of those cyst things older doggies get. Please please please.

(Edited to add: My doggie has to have surgery to remove the growth on Thursday morning. The vet was concerned since it popped up very quickly, it was hard and sensitive, she didn't want him to touch it. He kept mentioning cancer, facial melanomas being very common in Golden Retrievers. WAH! He did say that it might be nothing but then he'd say it was of concern again. SOB! She's our baby and we love her so very much!!!)

Oh gosh, I really had to root around for something red that wasn't Christmas. I love red but I am rather bereft of red things in my largely "green" home. So I went digging and hopefully came out triumphant. I'm just barely squeaking by this Rednesday with a small twinge of red.

I was looking for my grandmother's red velvet photo album but of course couldn't find it (good gosh, I'm so sick of my unorganized self!) but found these instead which I think are fun - hope they aren't too much of a snooze for you all.

(I'm guessing this is either my grammy's High School Graduation photo or around that time.)

(She is also pictured above in my banner, on the far left side.)

First off, my grandmother's dance program from 1918, with darling itty bitty red pencil. I wonder if this was for her graduation night dance since it says Class of 1918? So sad to think she only had partners for five of the dances. And what do the check marks mean? Did she dance them and the young gentlemen not sign their names or???

My second, slightly red thingie I'm sharing is a quotation book from 1903, given to my grandmother's Aunt when she was 16, by her teacher.

(Sorry, hiding relatives name behind obnoxious yellow post it for safety sake! S/B a red post it for Rednesday!)

I was only going to scan the page above but continued to thumb through and found this page with pressed foliage. Wonder what delightful memory it evoked? Was it picked on a nature walk or picnic with her beau?
