I was born in 1955. I remember ladies wearing hats to church, but that died out when Jackie left the White House. We used to wear gloves, too. I am NOT sad to not have gloves.
Our senior’s group ( you can be 50 and join - I’m not@:)) wanted to hold an Open House last month. SO someone said we shold dress like one of the ladies dressed to come to the monthly meeting. She had on a dress, gloves , hat, etc. All I could think of was “southern belle”.
I can assure you I did not wear a dress or gloves to the function!
Just received a call from hubby. His grandmother did not wake up this morning. The last we heard she was still alive, but in the hospital. When it rains, ..... I love this woman. She’s our only grandparent still living.
