Today has been a good lazy one. Nancy is in Florida with my daughter and her children. I have been doing a little yard work and also planted a bush today. I have been reading about all of my friends that went to Texas this weekend, looked like fun. I wish my back had been better early that month, I would have gone to the party. It was a big party, what I have been reading and laughing at all of them. Can't wait to see some pictures. Maybe next year? Today is also May day, when I was a young man around six years of age, I went to school during the summer at a big church, my mama made me go. One may day, we were going around the may pole and I turned the damn thing over on all the smaller kids and got my ass kicked by the teacher and then by my mama, when I got home. I thought it was funny, since I was a foot taller than all of the other kids my age. I was never a bully, just a little larger than most kids, not fat but tall. Do any of you remember tha MayPole?
I remember hearing about it, but I never danced around it.
ReplyDeleteI do catfish,, I also remember we used to make paper flower holders in school.. then go home ,fill them with flowers and hang them on a neighbors door.. that's what I remember about May Day..
ReplyDeleteWe still have them over here in Germany. It's always a big party when the poles are put up, and you can win prizes when you climb up the top.
ReplyDeleteI remember them well and the May baskets. But hell I'm so old I remember the debauched delights of Beltane...
ReplyDeleteThere was a place in Texas called Catfish's Parlour! Sorry I didn't get to take a pic of it. But thought of you.
ReplyDeleteI love dancing on.....errrrr, I mean around the May pole.I also jump the Beltane fire too.
