So easy and loose and cool. <br />Matching bloomers would be a plus!<br />I can't even imagine growing up in a place where there were no people of color. Whenever I've been in a place where there were almost all white people, I have felt very uncomfortable and weird.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-25626114744194312032017-08-08T22:04:23.124-04:002017-08-08T22:04:23.124-04:00Oh, she has ALL the sass.

We didn't have Morrison's or the like in Canada and had to take a train if we wanted to see a black man(porters). At least in my part of outside Toronto.<br /><br />-invisigalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-58468173989685467972017-08-08T19:08:11.345-04:002017-08-08T19:08:11.345-04:00Yes.

And I remember at the Morrison's where we went on Sundays after church, one of the men who carried trays always called my baby brothers, "Little man." <br />I also remember when the Piccadilly started hiring not only women but also white men to carry trays. Times change.

Remember how all the servers used to be black men? It was very Southern and thoroughly racist in that way, but I didn't know any better at the time. I don't know whether that was an actual hiring policy or just the way things worked out at the one we patronized.<br /><br />Anyway, those beach cabins are exactly how a beach cabin SHOULD look. Cheap furniture that can't be harmed by suntan oil, sand-proof linoleum floors, etc. I miss those days!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-60020139159894192012017-08-08T12:40:27.614-04:002017-08-08T12:40:27.614-04:00That dress is darling and so is Maggie.

Trying again. <br />When I was pregnant with Natalie my grandma *decided* that I was having a girl. She bought fabric by the bolt of anything pink, purple or with flowers on it. And she bought lace. And ruffles. And ric rac. Industrial bolts worth. Lace, ruffles and ric rac on every thing! It was awesome! My daughter was very tiny, in the third percentile, and she looked like a living doll. I have kept all of it. Maybe a granddaughter will be in my future. 💕Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.com
