I enjoyed the snow suit stories!!!!!! As we used to say , during the 60's, these memories are a "blast from the past"

I hated having to wear those boyish corduroy pants with flannel lining underneath my dress . When the temperatures dipped well into the teens, my mother forced us to wear these elastic waist " boy cloths" !!! When I got to school, (I walked), I had to practically preform a strip tease act in front of the other kids.

One memory, however, concerns a very stormy walk to Kindergarten.

My Mother worked, so, she could not walk with me to my afternnoon Kindergarten class. She "forced" me to wear an adult raincoat!!!! It was huge!!! Oh no, I didn't have a cute little yellow rain coat like the rest of the kids, not me, I had to wear a transparent "HOT PINK" rain coat with silver snaps!!!! I cried , while running in the rain!!!!! Grasping the hem as not to trip on it!!!!! I have that same rain coat today, and, it fits me perfectly!!!!


Does anyone remember those rubber, over the shoe, boats with zippers?They usually had gray fur at the cuff. Wow, they were ugly!!!!!!!
