All wooden floors. It was nice in there. Remined me of Selfridge's in London England. Oh the good ole days. Hope you hubby is on the mend.

They tasted spicy.<br />It was so kind of you to drive your co-worker to the ER and stay with her. Cellulitis can be very serious I've heard. I hope she'll be okay.<br />I've always been a little leery of escalators. I'm afraid my shoe will get caught somehow ( but then I tend to worry about strange things happening).Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-35700702656244685812021-05-06T11:06:23.995-06:002021-05-06T11:06:23.995-06:00Your blog is a delight.

The honeysuckle part of your post reminded me of my childhood in Texas. We had honeysuckle bush near our house and we did the same thing; drinking the drop of nectar. I remember stealing (gasp) rhubarb from a neighbor's garden (reaching through the fence) and munching it raw! Yuck! Good memories! :)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-36219439561982803182021-05-06T07:54:14.752-06:002021-05-06T07:54:14.752-06:00I've been in blogland a long time, and I remem...I've been in blogland a long time, and I remember when people used that mixed capitalization. Some still do.<br /><br />I'm obviously not from the 70s and have never heard of knee warmers, although I have heard of cummerbunds, but not for women.<br /><br />I am 4'11" tall, so I used to buy young girls Size 14 clothes. Adult even size 3 was too big for me because the waist never fit right. I can relate to size 5 shoes, though. I don't think people realize when you gain weight, even your shoe size changes.<br /><br />Thanks for this look back and for a photo of the honeysuckle.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-71035695603453821662021-05-06T06:47:48.623-06:002021-05-06T06:47:48.623-06:00I love the photo of the honeysuckle, love the font...I love the photo of the honeysuckle, love the fonts of the title, love the bottle the honeysuckle is in. have never even seen knee warmers, or a cummerbund except on the movie stars on TV in their Tux. raised in the deep and oh so hot south, it is no surprise about the knee warmers.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-19009363477648943752021-05-06T05:03:32.967-06:002021-05-06T05:03:32.967-06:00I do not remember women wearing cummerbunds ore kn...I do not remember women wearing cummerbunds ore knee warmers. I do remember leg warmers that went the whole length of your leg. We ate mostly berries and wild pears always good.

I hope she is getting good care. How wonderful of you to stick with her...but how do you have the time for all of this, and I assume you are still working as well? Amazing lady! I loved the descriptions of the department stores/windows/escalator, etc. Brings back memories of yesteryear. And honeysuckle! Oh, I am missing it here at this house. Where we lived before this we had it and Confederate Jasmine and wisteria vines all over our privacy fence and I loved it so much! I may have to go find some and pull some out to get some starters to grow on my fence here. And oh my! You were a tiny little thing! I can't imagine a size 3 except when I was 3 years old. LOL. Knee warmers? Did they go down all the way to your ankle? I had some when we lived in Ohio and I worked at a school and had to stand outside for recess duty every day, so I would put those on over my stockings under my dress and big coat and scarf and mittens, etc., and I still caught pneumonia! LOL. A florida girl living in Ohio in the winter took some getting used to! LOL. I enjoyed your post today. Thank you and have a blessed day. I am still running behind...no post yet today, but maybe later.Pamela M. Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04060656432106792419noreply@blogger.com
