DC>> As to clothes, my daughter was there a couple of weeks back.  She
 DC>> overheard a few people talking about how well my Mom dresses!

 SC>> Well, older people don't have to dress *like* old people anymore.
 SC>> That is a good thing. :-)

 DC> I know that the clothes my grandma wore are nothing like the clothes
 DC> my Mom wears!

Thank God for little things. :-)


 DC>> For clothes, I think that I've never seen Mom, or even my Dad for
 DC>> that matter, wear blue jeans.  Yet, all of the kids and grandkids
 DC>> line nearly 100% in them!

 SC>> I don't wear jeans much because I don't find them comfortable. I
 SC>> do have them for the proper times though. They are the first
 SC>> thing that comes off after my shoes when I get home though. With
 SC>> your mom and dad, you have to realize that jeans weren't worn by
 SC>> many people at all back then.

 DC> True.  But, all us kids were sort of forced into them as they would
 DC> last.  Dress pants last about 37 seconds on me before I put a hole
 DC> in them somewhere!

I remember my brothers wearing jeans when they were young, but my sister and I
didn't. Of course, us females weren't allowed to wear pants to school either.



 SC>> In fact, a lot of women cleaned in "house" dresses. I have a
 SC>> couple here that belonged to my mom and wear them around the
 SC>> house in hot weather.

 DC> What I liked was what was in style around 1970.  My girlfriend at
 DC> the time used to wear what were called "grannie dresses" when we
 DC> went out.  They looked great on her.

I remember them. They were comfortable too.
