I guess I've never been a girl-girl! I know, it was what we wore then, but I was happier when styles changed to more simple clothes.

Yes, I was a bit of a tomboy. Always too busy riding horses or creating to feel comfortable dressed that way.

I used to have a coat almost like yours. I loved my coat and named it Charlie. I was devestated when I out grew it. But fond memories anyway!

1959. I saw his wrist watch and realized at that moment that he wasn't the real Santa but a mere man. I just didn't think Santa would need a watch!
