ALYSON SAID......................

Grandma, it's your blog and you can say "ass" if you want to. Well, here goes, after 70 some odd years, I finally got the courage to show my ass at a party and for knowing when and how to do it, I
got paid $525.00. Now don't worry, it was for a good cause, The McCaw School of Mines. I had to
donate $50 for this privilege.

Now I suppose you want an explanation for this action. I could be mean and wait a few days before I blog any further and let your imaginations work overtime, but I wont. I do want you to know that
my ass was as cute as any at that party.

Yes, I did donate $50. You all know how proud I am of the mine and for my money I was issued a
paddle, two round circles glued to popsicle sticks. One side was a picture of an old prospector panning for gold (heads) and the other side was a picture of a mule's behind (tails) complete with real
hair for the tail. It was a 50/50 game. All participants were standing showing one side or the other
and a coin was tossed. If it came up tails, all those showing heads sat down. I showed my tail 3 times in a row and it came up tails, I then switched to heads, heads came up, liked tails better so
switched back again, again tails. Now there were only about 4 of us left. I again chose tails, but then decided to switch to heads, and I was the only one left. T he fund raiser earned $1050 and so
I got half of that.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY: you are never too old to have fun and this little game is the source of
many comments among the friends of THE MCCAW SCHOOL OF MINES.

the paddles were the design of former first lady, Sandy Miller. Love that lady
