Gerry in birthday outfit...
My two sisters knowing I would miss the festival this year sent me money before my birthday. I went shopping and found these cute boot shoes with silver and gold studs on them at my thrift store, so I naturally had to buy western cut pants and a blouse to go with. I had this white hat at home and just fastened on a gold sequin band. Today is the big day at the festival, so in a way buying this outfit which would have been perfect for the festival made me more homesick.
We sisters used to place such emphasis on our outfits for the summer holidays. Everybody always got a new 4th of July dress to wear to the dance. My sisters often made one out of the most beautiful fabric they could find since Daddy promised velvet and satin if they would just make them. I never sewed so I didn't get anything too fancy, but now I can make up for it at dollar day at the Unique. Never have I seen such a well stocked thrift store. Shopping in there makes everybody happy the prices are so good. Doc's eyes opened wide when he saw these boots. He is wondering when I will come home with a horse I bought at a bargain.
