If you have a box outside the house, it's a mailbox. I've never had a mail slot, but I understand they drive dogs craazy.<br /><br />I always thought that someday I was supposed to look like these women in the catalogs. I know a few women who can do it successfully, but I have figured out that they are tall, slim, and use a lot of hairspray. Those of us who try end up looking like Hilda Rumpole instead.paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891195958481806488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-80728631136631999372011-09-17T14:09:30.178+01:002011-09-17T14:09:30.178+01:00Good, aren't they! xGood, aren't they! xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-71355409670087569312011-09-17T13:56:33.374+01:002011-09-17T13:56:33.374+01:00Oh, the russets!

It was in a department store, but not expensive like race wear. I got the stockings, shoes and a bracelet. This year I had to go to a reunion in April. I added an evening bag, vest/shawl thing, hair trim, foundation with free samples of the mascara, perfume, and I bought a lipstick. I am happy with this. Recently though on facebook my friends all seemed to have the same thing, that made them look acceptable. Fringe, no grey, eye liner, lipstick, lots of jewellery. I was so relieved yesterday to find photos of a wedding that had something like what I wore. The only thing they had that I didn't was maybe small earrings and maybe no grey. But Ember's picture of the "hippy" that really captures my other friends who I love and enjoy on fb. The fun ones lol. My Mum said her neighbour got a lovely dress from ebay from a wedding. <br /><br />I have felt awful from just thinking. Feel proud of my teenage years, so it is great to get encouragement to keep going to get back to that place. Which unfortunately includes the primping. Not sure if I will go that far or not. Not sure if I have to. <br /><br />I feel seachanging is too much change, to get the feeling, having a settled enviroment butomysoul creates this ability to just be. Think 50s or 60s. I moved here to the country 8 years ago, so much to adjust to. The being I am doing I do at home. I do get to see nice things in nature being here, but that hasn't brought about the teenage thing, it is facebook and my children growing at the same time, and having improvements in health.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457300221571368059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-90967749000488334772011-09-16T02:05:11.553+01:002011-09-16T02:05:11.553+01:00Transporting. xxTransporting. xxJulie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14372718712032820169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-47388500388891027482011-09-16T00:41:13.946+01:002011-09-16T00:41:13.946+01:00Great post!

I have had the overwhelming urge again. This time I long to sell everything and go live in the country. My husband is really not feeling my dream... I am going to have to figure out how to be a verb in my current setting. <br /><br />I am feeling your wardrobe issues too. I have a "semi-formal" evening to attend in less than three weeks. I do Janis Joplin much better than I do ankle swingers, strings of pearls and purses with chains. I went shopping last week and left the store with nothing. Nothing I liked would be appropriate. The things that were appropriate I wondered where I would wear them again after that evening. I couldn't justify spending a lot of money for a one evening outfit. I will probably end up wearing one of the broom skirts I already own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-36291246838313896392011-09-15T19:31:02.802+01:002011-09-15T19:31:02.802+01:00Ember ...proud of your action..not that I know you...Ember ...proud of your action..not that I know you by face but perhaps a bit by letter and I cannot imagine you in those clothes!....well that is not unless you were having a dressing up day which I must say I'm partial to myself now and again if I can get the grand girls to play along with me! what fun!Gerry Snapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269492251928362799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-71867319690456360312011-09-15T18:19:10.929+01:002011-09-15T18:19:10.929+01:00:0) Hi, Roberta x:0) Hi, Roberta xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-30212825240663526602011-09-15T14:01:11.108+01:002011-09-15T14:01:11.108+01:00A warm and beautiful prayer.
