A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood


 Sisters Anne, Mary and Peggy, and MOI in dress-ups 1961
I was inspired by a movie star who was wearing
short shorts with a long flowing top.
I'm sure Peggy and I were in high heels.


I’m the guest blogger today (and all week, I think) over at Wrote by Rote, Arlee Bird’s blog dedicated to memoir writing.  I’ve never done this before.   It would be comforting to see some familiar faces, so please come visit me there.

      I've gotten some nice comments, and some comments on Facebook from people I haven't talked to in years. That's been fun.

    What was that little doll Anne had with all the clothes? I loved playing with her doll!

      Gosh I have no clue. But I see she's FB friends with Peggy Ann, so we can find her and ask.
