I thought of Helen, early this morning when I first heard the news. Then started thinking of other friends from other lists. I pray that all of them are fine and we hear from them soon. Helen, I know there are other more important things right now but we hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Sully, those are great and cherished memories. Like you , I remember love not death and the love of a dear one who has gone becomes sweeter with the years. I know I was involved with funerals even before I was born, as my Grandmother frequently reminded my mother. I was born shortly after my great grandmother's death. At that point great grand, grand, mother, and me to be, all lived in one house. Making over garments was common. Remember the short knickers ,boys pants(my underwear , I swear, was the same pattern) they were made from Great grandfather's "dress "pants. And coats were often cut from the adults "best "old coats. Many of my coats came from a "city Aunt" who always had new things( I know now from the people she worked for) and the bustles of many coats were ideal for make child size coats and I even got fur. That flower was probably made of silk. We also had one made of crepe, very fine denier. Later on for fair weather only it was crepe paper. Because we had Peafowl and plenty of other birds, the use of feathers was plentiful. I seem to recall taking feather to a lady(cousin0 in town who did the hats. I hated those tie under the chin bows, still do they choke me. I had a cousin who wore hats , huge things, at least a foot out from her head all round. And her sleeves always long had enough yardage to make most dresses. Starch and iron to precession. Bud. -----Original Message----- From: memory-lane-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:memory-lane-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Shirley Sullivan Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 12:22 PM To: memory-lane Subject: [ML] Easter Dresses & my first death experience Oh, how I remember those Easter dresses, I always loved going shopping for my Easter dress. We didn't have very much money, only my Mom worked., at Dolly Madison Bakery over on Riverside drive. She must have saved all year for those Easter dresses, with a white straw Easter bonnet, and new patent leather shoes, some times they were black and sometimes they were white, but always little Mary Janes !!!. I use to try and get a flower [I don't remember what they were made out of] for my hat, that matched my dress. That Easter Dress, was my GOOD dress the the rest of the year, and the shoes were my Sunday go to Church shoes. I remember our neighbor on the one side of us, their daughter was my best friend, FAY, her mother made her a new Easter dress one year, and as a surprise they made me one too. We use to love going out and about saying we were sisters. Her mother and grandmother were so good to me, they took me everywhere they went, I use to wish I was her sister. A sad thing, I was out front of Fay's house, playing Jacks with her on the sidewalk, her grandfather had been out walking his dog, when all of a sudden he stopped and fell over right there on the side walk. We ran up to him, but he didn't speak to us, Fay ran in and got her mother, and grandmother. They called the doctor [remember when doctors made house calls] he had had a massive heart attack. The doctor told them he could tell them more, if he made it through the night. Well, he didn't, he died some time during the night. It wasn't until late the next morning that the doctor returned, and pronounced him dead, and I guess they called Forrest Lawn mortuary, and a hearse came and got him. I remember the whole neighborhood coming out of their homes, and watching them bring him out of the house, putting him in the hearse. After that I went with Fay, her mother and Grandmother to the Forest Hills cemetery all the time. They brought a folding chair for Grandma, she sat next to h! is grave, and talked to him all the time. That was my first experience with death, all I remember is the love they had for that old man, and the flowers we put on his grave almost everyday at first. To this day, I am not afraid of death, or funerals, cemeteries. It's been a long time since I thought of this, it was a good memory.

Most of my clothes were home made, plus my mother and aunts would often buy the same patterns and material. Not that we lived that close to the aunts but a good buy was hard to pass up so they shared. I remember one/three dresses that were beautiful at first but by the time I also had two hand-me-downs, I hated to have that dress laid out for school. It was a deep red with a key hole opening in the bodice, with white hand stitching from shoulders to the bottom. Just a tiny turned hem at the bottom as the pieces were gored and ran from shoulder to hem. Some where I have a picture of me in a dress that I am sure was made from feed sacks. I think it was probably my first grade picture. It had a peter pan collar that was edged in rick rack. Mom was very penny conscious and sometimes even cut up old garments to make new ones. I also have a picture of my brother, about 3-4 in an out door coat that she had made from an old gray wool coat of hers. When I was wearing the dresses with sashes, I always wanted Aunt Cora to be there to tie my bows. She made them look so pretty. I think about mom or one of my aunts making our clothes on the treadle machines and then the starching and ironing involved. Women think the have a lot to do today.

Hello Louise.... actually, things have been kinda quiet. While pretty warm, last weekend was cloudy and overcast... kinda blah... Sherry and I spent most of the weekend watching cooking shows.. We did get down to the small white house where our hunters stay. They have offered to help us scrape and paint the house, soooo we were making notes of any repairs we muct make before we get to the painting stage. I did use the tractor to break up Sherry's garden. It's warm enough that we'll be planting soon... not doubt it won't be long before I start complaining abut the heat.lol :-)** On 2/22/11, Louise Valine <antique1931@saber.net> wrote: > So what has been going on in your life this past week end.

Helen is a rather quiet friend on this list.. somehow I doubt she'll ever know just how many friends she has here. When I first got news of the earthquake, I immediately thought of Helen.....

I think that is what we all thought was about Helen. That would be so scarey. At first when they came on here the news was from Los Angeles and I thought they ment they had the earth quake there. Have a pg. granddaughter in the area, then they said Australia. But really shook them. Sure hope she reports in. Maybe she will get emails.

I hope so too. I hope she checks in soon. Connie A little while ago I turned on the news and heard of the Earthquake in New Zealand and immediately thought of Helen McNamara who lives in Christchurch, New Zealand and hope that she and her family are fine. I send prayers to them. Annette.

We wore many dresses made from feed sacks...Carefully selected from an example Mama would show Daddy before he left for town. Mama didn't get out much , so her inspiration was the Sears catalog...She'd leaf through the catalog, get an old dress that fit and have a dress already made, ironed and hanging on a hanger when we got home from school...We thought that was wonderful.....She would add a little white collar, rick rack, colored bias tape, etc. to make it special...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:59:13 -0600 "samuels" <dwsbgs@centurytel.net> writes: I believe I was leaving high school before I had store made clothes.

Hello. Do you know any thing about the Carrier family that left MN for S.D.? Viola.

Oh, those special Easter Dresses! I still correspond with a girl who live near me, her family was very poor. I never knew she envied my clothes but that is one of her memories.And she remembered when I got a dress that was too large for me, she was given it. She talked/wrote, about how she treasured that dress and my hair ribbons. I think one of my favorite dresses was a cherry stems print with a red bolero trim with rickrack,Now all of that was made from feed sacks. I had the itchy chiffon and frills etc but favorites were always much more sedate and actually harder to make. I believe I was leaving high school before I had store made clothes. Oh we shopped the stores but grandmother went home and made copies. How I remember fitting sessions.!!!! Bud.

Sherry and I watched Cooks Country ( Americas Test Kitchen) on PBS and they grilled chicken on a grill... now, I happen to really like bbq chicken... these folks used a dry rub, which isn't unusual... they also created a sauce to baste the chicken with... I thought to myself.. "I'll go online and find the recipe".... HA! For some reason I cannot find that episode.. Does anyone have any influence with these people? Can anyone find this recipe? Help! :-)*

What a wonderful blessing to have pretty new dresses like that ! You may have been the turning point in those girls lives, you never know...Just knowing someone cares is all it takes sometimes....I decided to do volunteer work at my nephews school and teacher asked me to help a child with reading. I was allowed to choose and I immediately picked out a pale, untidy little girl as 'mine'...I found her to be very friendly , and eager to learn..Very happy to get special attention...She drew a picture one time and it was a man and he had what looked like wings on each side instead of arms..When I asked her about it she said that was her Daddy and that's how he looked when he was yelling at her...Swinging his arms, I guess...... Got to thinking of that little girl that night, and lay there thinking of how I could get her some clothes, and maybe some flowery smelling soap ...as she needed it pretty bad...When I went back the teacher asked me to pick another child...'My' little girl just didn't show up at school one day...Guess they'd just drifted on somewhere else .....I don't know how many times I've wondered about her, and hope the next person who helped her in school could do the things for her that I wanted to...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`.
