March to Caroline from Grace - Fashion report

 

Grace is a professional envelope addresser. Is there a more official name? If not, there should be. Seems odd that this is the first time I have wondered about a job title considering the number of years I addressed envelopes for hire. I guess we call ourselves calligraphers. Sometimes I would write *scribe* when filling out forms that asked for an occupation. 

The card is steal-worthy.

From time to time I do fashion reports which is absurd coming from me because my two favorite pairs of pants (no - make that three) are hand-me-ups from my boys. I did see an article that deck shoes (Sperry topsiders) are going to be hot this season. I have two pair that I have been saving for special occasions. That is also absurd, since deck shoes are clearly not special occasion shoes.

I first met Caroline when I was engaged to MrWilson and our paths crossed at prenuptial parties for many of MrWilson's friends. Des Moines is small townish in that a lot of families are 3rd and 4th generation in the older part of town. I always enjoyed seeing what Caroline was wearing and one time she wore a white T-shirt with a jean skirt to a prenuptial party. It was an unexpected choice. The t-shirt had a grid of 9 hearts on the front - so that made it appropriate - plus it was outside in the summertime. I think she could get away with pushing the envelope because she was stylish. Even at 97 I've noticed how cute her clothes are.
