Jeans . . . 

good,

old-fashioned

faded blue jeans.

Comfort personified!

I can not think

of a more comfortable

pair of pants

than my jeans!

I can't remember

wearing them in 

high school

but in college,

 they were

part of my 

uniform 

for 4 years

and have remained

to this day.

That was probably

the one thing 

I disliked

about teaching . . .

having to get 

dressed everyday.

I was never one

for "dressing" up

and now,

I had to do it

everyday of school.

Was I ever happy

when the idea of

"dress down" Fridays

became popular . . . 

jeans, here I come!

A good friend of mine

once told me

I had a "jeans" body.

I had to agree.

Must have been

the shape of my legs.

They sure weren't

skinny,

nor were they muscled.

They were

just right 

to fit in jeans.

Even today,

8,000,000 pounds

heavier than ever

the body still looks

better in jeans

than anything else.

Man,

how I hate it

now when I have to

dress up!

I usually try

to sneak a jeans jumper

in as my outfit.

But,

have a wedding

to go to on August 29 . . .

have to dress 

like an adult.

What a bummer!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the California Gold Rush. Thank you for Levi Strauss. Thank you for having him invent jeans for the gold miners  so they had pants that were as rugged as they were.

Amen.
