The very first thing I thought when I saw it this morning was how darned cute she was. I envied the hat. I couldn't figure out the emblem on her jumper/dress/vest but I bet it signified something very cool.
The other thing it brought to mind was the old Roy Rogers TV series. Remember that? You don't? Get out and off this blog. It will mean nothing to you! Just kidding. Stick around.
So, back to Roy and his wife, Dale. That's who Linda put me in mind of - a young Dale . . . then I realized I couldn't remember her last name. When I said Dale Rogers out loud it didn't seem right.
But she was married to Roy so her name must have been Rogers, right? It took me an embarrassingly long time to come up with Evans and that brought up another question.
Why didn't Dale take Roy's last name? I mean, this happened a really, really long time ago. Was Dale way ahead of her time? Was there something fishy going on?
Then Petey stepped in and did a little research.
Did you guys know that Dale was Roy's third wife??? OMG!!!
Roy, you dog, you. Was he a player?
I didn't ask Petey to continue on with the research because I was afraid he'd find a plausible explanation for the "third wife" thing and I'd have to drop the fantasy of Roy being a hound.
Now that I think back on it, he did have a sneaky kind of smile on his face most of the time, didn't he?
