Well bless my soul, rock'n roll, flying purple people eater

I am thankful for the color purple.  Though my list of favorite purple things isn't long, I do love the color.  For one, purple happens to be the colors of my high school Alma-mater.  I graduated in 1991 from Tooele High, home of the Buffalo's.   Our school colors were purple and white.  I think I lucked out in the school color department.

Rah-rah everybody sing....*something something something*.......forever and forever in Tooele. 

Well what do you know, I found the lyrics on the internets:

Here's a Tiger to Tooele high, may her colors ever proudly fly.  We are here to stay until we die, forever and forever in Tooele.
Rah-rah, Rah-rah, everybody sing, every echo ring. Far away, we leave our hearts to stay, forever and forever in Tooele.
Cheers to those who stand for us today. Tears to those we leave along the way.  All good fellows, we are here to stay, forever and forever in Tooele.
Rah-rah, Rah-rah, everybody sing, every echo ring.  Far away, we leave our hearts to stay, forever and forever in Tooele.

I've been deep cleaning the house and as I was going through the garage, I came across this little gem.

My high school graduating class.  I had completely forgot I had this.  Anyone want to take a guess as to where I am? It took me a while to find myself.  The kids had a blast trying to find me.

I also found this gem hidden in the back of my closet.

I lettered in Drama.

I was in our high school's Pantomime troupe.

Good times.

But I digress......
My favorite purple things I'm grateful for:

Purple Pansies.

Purple is a royal color.  I am a daughter of God.  Therefore I am a princess.

Lilacs

Purple Petunias

Purple Morning Glory.....the flower, not the weed.  The weed we call Morning Glory, it's real name is Desert Bind Weed.

Purple mountains majesty.

Purple sunsets

And for your listening enjoyment, I give you......

One eyed, one horned flying purple people eater

Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me

Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you 'cos you're too tough
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
It sure looks strange to me

I said Mr Purple People Eater what's your line
He said eating purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band
Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
What a sight to see! 

Well, he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune
Wop bop a lula wop bam boom
One-eyes one-horned flying people eater
Ooh, it sure looks strange to me! 

Well he went on his way and then what do you know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head!
