Or So It Seemed

When ever I hear Petula Clark singing I think of my once upon a time friend Mary Riggin . I met her in Junior High. Hell they don't even have Junior High any more, but they did then . One minit I didn't know her and the next we were best friends and would remain so for several years.  I don't know what happened to her, but she was my entree into a very different world.  Her parents seemed to love me ,they drove big luxury cars and gave cocktail parties and catered dinners some of which I attended, even as a teenager. They lived in a sprawling  modern house on a private lake designed by Thelma Blow it was the most beautiful place I'd ever been. The first time I ever saw Petula Clark was at Marys house on  the first color TV I'd ever seen, it was huge and wonderful as was the entire room ,and I felt wonderful in that room . I hope some, just a few people have felt wonderful in some of the rooms I've decorated. I have been back to that house only one time it wasn't as sprawling as it seemed and of course all the Thelma Blow decor was long gone ,but I felt wonderful.......
