Years ago, I went to the State Fair of Virginia….maybe three or four times? We haven’t been in a long time, but I saw an ad for it recently, and the picture I’m sharing today came to mind.
This year the fair was from Sept 27 through yesterday. I really didn’t hear too much about it, but then, we don’t watch TV or listen to the radio very often.
So, a little background about this picture: I was 19, and this was the sweet woman who, about four years later, would become my mother-in-law,and another four years after that, would become Marshall’s grandmother. When I realized that, when this picture was taken, she was 19 years younger than I am now….well, I needed a moment to process that.
This was taken in her dining room, and that’s the kitchen through the open door.
Now….about that dress…. My friend, at the time, and I were shopping one day, and came across these dresses with matching panties…. I couldn’t recall the name, but with some research on Google, I think they were called ‘sizzler’ dresses.
And, oh, those red boots…..
Anyway, my friend and I went on a double date with our respective ‘beaus’ to the State Fair that year.
And yes, we wore those dresses.
What WERE we thinking?
