I wonder sometimes if women wore so many hats in earlier times because perhaps they didn't wash their hair as often, and a hat can hide a multitude of sins.<br /><br />And the way you framed your poem, I have to learn how to do that some day. So very artistic all the way!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-52378989147283586762012-04-18T15:34:15.185-04:002012-04-18T15:34:15.185-04:00Love the photos!

When I was a young teen, we still wore hats and short white gloves to Church on Sunday. That was the end of elegance for me. I have lived my entire life since in blue jeans. But there was a glamour then, a mystique that was quite wonderful. <br /><br />I also love the way your words have created the shape of a woman on the page.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.com
