Mom’s Corner: Summer Clothes
Here it is almost May and I haven’t rearranged my closet bringing the summer clothes forward and putting the winter ones in the back!
In the days we were just vacationers, we always arrived with our summer things and were surprised to find our friends wearing their winter duds.
Now I get it! We who live here in all the seasons get sick and tired of dressing in cottons. We long for September and until the end of April to dress in corduroy, or leather with sweaters and jackets that hang all summer long.
It is always a big problem deciding what to save and what to give away even if it is beautiful and hasn’t been worn this season.
When the girls were younger and at home they liked to borrow my clothes. Now they are taller and more well endowed then me. Our granddaughters are even taller. I know this is hard to believe but my feet are bigger then theirs. Yes, I wear an eight and a half, slim!
Next week they are finally going to begin the repair of our Villa removing the mold and mildew. That, my dear readers solves my problem. I will just throw a sheet over the clothes to keep the dust away and forget the rearranging. How do you like my problem solving?
Love,
Robert’s Mom

Dear Stacy,
I hope I am right and you are my darling Granddaughter Stacy. So you inherited my big feet too! Though when I was your age I wore a 7 1/2. As Gypsy Rose Lee said I have everything I had but just a little lower. As you age your instep lowers and your feet get longer.
Aren’t you happy to receive that gem of information.
I love the Polo X-67s you sent me, but if you wear an 8 1/2 how come you didn’t keep them?
Love you tons,
Stacy’s Grandma and Robert’s Mom

because you have narrow lady feet, I have fat feet like my sister. love you!

Dear Stacy,
It is better to have fat feet than a fat head, as the saying goes! I guess from your short answers this must be like twittering!
I don’t know how people have time.
Love from You know who!

I hope your mold removal goes well! We had mold in our house in Las Vegas and it was quite a deal! It was also costly. They tent everything and then tear things out, spray what’s left with some chemical that will kill the mold, then put fans, fans and more fans. Finally they come with their magic mold sniffer and see if there is any left. If you are ‘clean’ then they put it all back together again! Good luck!
