“An Idea or Two For Dress-up Day”

Oct 24th “An Idea or Two For Dress-up Day”

When someone asks me to look for an old Photo or two – sometimes, I find something so Wonderful -just thought that everyone would like to see something just right, for the upcoming “Dress-up Day” this next week!

and… This dress was made for me by our Aunt Irene – and for my Graduation in 1952. The hat is another gift from Aunt Irene – something that I just could not at the time – find the right place to wear – but did want to see what it would look like – and how I could possibly look, if and or someday, I would ever wear it?

My Mother would not allow, for me to wear high heel shoes – and these came from Aunt Irene – and so with a couple of other pairs – I found a “Second Hand Dealer” in the neighborhood – and he was glad to pay a pretty penny for these and some others!

I never looked so good – so nice and tall, slim and trim – just all those wonderful qualities of a good model – and just so LUCKY to have a wonderful brother in the family to do the trying on of the clothes for me – just to get an idea of what I might look like?

My other brother was very handy in the helping to get the things ready and the place to take these PHOTOS – as he said he was not tall enough to really get the right idea, of what these clothes would look like – and that with his red hair and big smile – we would not get the same effect as we had wanted at the time.

Who in the world, would think – that these old PHOTOS that have been resting all these many years – and safely in a nice PHOTO Album – would finally be pulled from their peaceful rest, for these many long years – to now see the light of day. I have to say that these sure do bring back memories of those good old years – when young kids have so much FUN – and the old marbles in the brain – today – begin to bring back those happy go lucky older days – when the world was enjoying the time – before we had to really get down to work!

Will have to see what else there might be in that old PHOTO BOOK – that I have not thought about for a good many years? Everyone should take time to do the same – enjoy the Fun and same the LOVE! D.V.
