the raccoon news took paint brush in hand and decorated a very old gray sweatshirt of Dee's as a Christmas gift for her. Extremely worn but Dee's most comfortable shirt for knocking around the house and sometimes even to wear outside.
Regular News readers will remember the coverage we gave that shirt then. See http://raccoonnews.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-favorite-shirt.html
Well, if that wasn't her favorite shirt then, after that paint job it became a very often worn garment for Dee. If you know her you know that she is into worn and pre-worn clothing, witness the black boots she frequently dons, the late and greatly missed Uncle Lee's old boots. Black, in good repair, shiny, and they fit her. http://raccoonnews.blogspot.com/2009/03/kind-mans-boots-to-fill.html
Dee gets most of her 'newer' clothes at Good Will or The Women's Service Club or at St. Vincent De Paul. So this year she's getting a brand-new, never worn by anyone, dark blue sweatshirt, on which we have painted the following:
MY 2nd
FAVORITE SHIRT
You can be sure you'll see her wearing it! If you see her before Christmas Day, don't tell her about this.
