Just another memory from that time.....
Ahh...the sweet innocent memories of that era! ( yes, I was in fact still innocent
) I can recall being SO envious of Justine!
And cheerleaders, d every other girl in the US. Bobby socks & saddle oxfords.They were called saddle oxfords.....and I only know, because just like Teresa.....I had to wear them with a uniform for a Catholic girls school......and that's the only time I had those clunky things on...
Just a little side note....these were what the bobby soxers who swooned and screamed over Frank Sinatra wore...
LOL....I was just clarifying what time frame they were really big in, though they lasted for what seemed forever.....my Mother wore them....
Good! The manager must have been impressed with you. Good luck!
Unfortunate? Maybe, maybe not.
I went to Catholic school for first grade. Because it was a private school, I could start school a year earlier (My birthday is in mid-October). I have relatively fond memories of that school year. I loved the sparkly, diamond-like rosaries that they sold on campus. My mother had to tell them to stop letting me buy them.
However, I was then sent to parochial school (like a public Catholic school). From Sept.'63 through May '65 were the worst 2 years of my life. I blocked out all of it and the years prior to it. Memories didn't start coming back until I was about 9 months pregnant with my first child. Hormones, I guess.
I guess I lucked out....I only had one year at the Girls Academy of Our Lady on Guam. Aside from not being allowed to wear so much as lipstick, and the ridiculous uniforms we wore there.....the Nuns were some of the kindest, sweetest women I have ever known..
Yep, saddle shoes. Were the thing in the mid 60's, too! Scarred the left one playing muffler on boyfriends motorcycle......
Unfortunately I've got a couple of ulcers that say I shouldn't take ibuprofen and I'm on aspirin therapy so aspirin is also out of the question. Oh well, what's a mother to do?
Notice I said shouldn't, I still do but try not to take it too often.
Mid 60's....I was either in high heels (worked in platform heels), moccasins, desert boots or waffle stompers...
Wait ... wait ... these were mandatory when I was in high school (public not Catholic) to be part of the "in" crowd. Wore with button down shirts with a loop on the back and a horseshoe belt buckle. Yep that was the garb of the 'in crowd'. Unless you were a motor head ... then it was Converse sneakers or ankle high work boots.

Oh my !!! Did your poor mother have to iron that nasty oxford cloth those shirts were made out of ? or did she make you iron them yourself ?.....

I had a wonderful mother who spoiled me ... even ironed my underwear.
Not so much w/ my wife ... I had to learn how to iron my own shirts when I got married. Ground rules of marriage included ... I don't make breakfast and I don't iron shirts.

I think you just revealed more than you intended....
They don't know why, but she has severe pancreatitis with sepsis, gall bladder infection, lung infection and is still on the ventilator. Thank goodness her parents are here now. Gosh, what they must be going through. She is slowly improving but will be in ICU for at least a few more days, if not another week or more. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
