My first grey hair showed up on the morning of my first wedding, when I was twenty-three. Should have figured it for an omen.<br /><br />I love your black outfits, and I would kill for a case of Canfield's diet cherry chocolate fudge soda right now. <br /><br />When the 'Rona is over, we are SO getting together. The halfway point between Oakland and Omaha seems to be Lyman, Wyoming (pop. 2,115). There's a mining museum and an agricultural farm. No idea about thrifting, though.

I suspect some thrifty seamstress had some trimmings that she didn't want to waste, and it ended up roses. Crochet rose patterns were popular in the same era. <br /><br />I do love a good 3D effect on clothing.

Those rosettes! I recall being puzzled by similar decorative doodads on Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress: when were they fashionable?

I had my own business, but those retail jobs kept me in generous employee discounts! I always loved department store, but I also understand why they've died off. Different era, for sure. <br /><br />@Beate<br />Thank you. I told Dan he can get a motorcycle with a sidecar for me! He isn't keen for some reason. <br />We are forecast snow for Sunday-I'm ready. <br /><br />@Bibi<br />Oh no!!! That's crappy that you all got it. I'm relieved to hear it isn't horrible for you, but still-what a lousy thing to be dealing with. I hope your anosmia is temporary, and that everyone is back to good health soon. This is such a strange disease, with a million symptoms and ways of presenting. Thinking of you and sending healing, healthy vibes. <br /><br />@Monica<br />Thank you! I'm trying to stay positive (as much as possible) with posts and I figured babies and food are always safe blogging subjects. Take care. <br /><br />@Vix<br />That's the most accurate description of Instagram I've ever heard. <br />Danny has already made sure we know he will *never* bring home a date. Can't say I blame him. I wonder, is it the bawdy jokes, the bad language, or the complete lack of filters that he's embarrassed about? <br /><br />@Ann<br />You have such great outfits it would be criminal not to share them! I can understand where it would be a motivation too. <br />I still cannot believe he's going to be 16...because I haven't aged a day ;)<br /><br />@Veronica<br />Strangely enough, no one was excited when I started growing facial hair in menopause!!! Guess it is only a milestone for boys. <br />He doesn't read my blog. I'm lucky if I can get him to sit in the same room as me. <br />The parkin recipe is good-just be aware it will sink a bit in the centre. <br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-55456176979368006242020-10-20T11:25:04.286-07:002020-10-20T11:25:04.286-07:00PS - I have lots of Lesters which is why I get min...PS - I have lots of Lesters which is why I get mine tinted every 6 weeks....Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-12086164836589986572020-10-20T11:23:54.116-07:002020-10-20T11:23:54.116-07:00Well, you have some amazing black garments!

Black sure does make the jewellery pop.<br /><br />Danny was so cute! I hope he's not cringing at being the focus of your blog post but I guess he doesn't know?? Don't worry I won't tell him! Isn't the facial hair acquisition strange? Isaiah who will be 16 in January; has had facial hair since he was 12. I've often wondered if he got teased at school about it; but he has never said and now his form have caught up with him!<br /><br />I love Parkin and may have a go at this recipe; I think I have everything needed in my baking cupboard. If I do will anyone else eat it is my dilemma; as I end up eating most of what I bake...it's no wonder I no longer have a waist!<br /><br />Good luck with your polling duties; I've been asked to do the local elections next May - already!<br /><br />Take care and stay safe,<br />xxxVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-88711366467351088952020-10-20T11:01:19.629-07:002020-10-20T11:01:19.629-07:00I find myself being drawn to black too, lately, bu...I find myself being drawn to black too, lately, but I'm trying not to give in to it too much as I know I feel better wearing colour. I actually appreciate the Instagram incentive to get dressed up, especially on days when I'm feeling a bit down and want to crawl back under the duvet. <br />I must say, you actually suit black, and your outfits prove black isn't in the least boring. Yes to the date with the coat, by the way :-)<br />Thank you for cheering me up with the Danny as a baby photos.

I have seen that frock coat on the blog before & it is stunning!<br />I have one gray eyelash, unnamed though. <br />Awwww, those pics of little Danny are adorbs!<br />We all got the 'rona at my house. The husband caught it while distributing food donations to the needy. The boys are already over it with only 3 days of mild fever, chills, & bodyaches. I am in week 2 with the damned anosmia that feels like my nose is continuously burning from smoke (as well as mild fever & bodyaches). Only 2 hospitals are testing for the virus in our district of 500,000 people. I'm sure the official case count is incorrectly low because most Nepalis can't afford the $20 testing fee nor would they want to wait in line half a day to while sick get the test. I'm grateful my family has fared so well. I have to say this is NOT like the worst flu I've ever had (I have suffered worse in the US from flus with bodyaches that felt like I was hit by a truck and 103F fever for days) but this virus is just WEIRD. I can breathe just fine, the achiness, fever, and headache is mild enough to be relieved with paracetemol, but losing my sense of smell & the odd taste disturbance with the burning sensation in my sinuses & throat is bizarre. It is kind of like how your nose & throat burn after spending a super smoggy day in the Los Angeles basin or Delhi in wintertime. Ah well, this too shall pass.<br />Glad all is well with your & yours!<br /> Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-75027456325817166942020-10-19T22:54:46.247-07:002020-10-19T22:54:46.247-07:00loooove your black outfits! <3 <3 <3

You look fantastic in every outfit. <br /><br />I lived in Chestnut Hill for about two months in the summer of 1990. I can't recall if I ever went to Bloomie's, but I remember going to Filene's Basement just once and to Faneuil Hall many, many times. I wonder if we ever crossed paths and didn't know it.<br /><br />Most of my cat's whiskers are white. Once in a while, a black one will grow in, and we lovingly refer to it as "the coveted collector's edition." So you just tell Lester that being different makes him special. : ) <br /><br />After seeing the old photos of Dan, I pictured him in a football uniform and cradling NOT a football but a ferret wearing a green bathrobe. How cute is that? <br /><br />We got our flu shots at a drive-through clinic set up by Kaiser Permanente in the parking lot of a megaplex. It was quick and efficient and also a brilliant use for the parking lot, which would've been empty all October, since no one's going to the movies any more. <br /><br />Feel better soon, and thanks again for working at the polls.
