What fun memories.

I remember those crinolines. Scratchy things. But as little girls, we loved them. Although, my little sister, who loved them especially under her favorite red dress, would always pull her dress and crinolines up over her face when we were in Sunday School programs. And I stood by in cat-eyed glassed, frizzy-permed mortification, my crinolines sedately in place.
And to this day, I remain.....mortified. I just brought it up to her the other day, in fact.
