OK. Just one this morning. Then I am logging off. Immediately. But I can't forget to ask this one.

Did any of you girls ever wear a feedsack dress?

In case you do not know about feedsack dresses, I am not talking about Boomer in Burlap.

Feedsacks were made of pretty printed cloth, calico I guess. My grandparents lived on a farm.

Did any of you girls ever have a cowgirl outfit, complete with 2 six-shooters and holsters? I did. It was a girly version of Hopalong Cassidy's outfit. It was black with lots of fringe. And, of course, I had a cowgirl hat, too.

So feedsack dresses? Cowgirl outfits complete with six-shooters? Hopalong Cassidy? Do our granddaughters have any idea what we are talking about?
