I went to church for a while this morning to help decorate our large dining hall for Rally Sunday. As I was getting ready to head over there it occurred to me that I didn't know where I would leave my purse while I was putting out placemats and centerpieces. Men will not understand this concern at all. Where do you put a purse that's out of the way and out of sight so you feel that it's relatively secure? After all we women do carry a lot of important stuff in our purses. I had a billfold stolen out of my purse once, many years ago, and it has made me wary about just leaving my purse sitting around. So I stood at my door, ready to leave, when I had an 'ah ha!' moment. I don't need a purse to drive my car, and I really didn't need my purse for setting tables. So I put my driver's license, insurance info and keys in one pocket and my phone in another, and off I went. I admit to feeling a little smug, as I was putting out place mats while watching other women volunteers figuring out where to put their purses and checking from time to time to make sure they were still there. I felt liberated.
