Thanks for this nostalgic little journey, Wanda. Loved the green stripes  
and checks, the ruffles, the sleeves, too.
 
Blessings,

Thanks  Jim for your comments about the Fifth City Model.  The mantra that 
kept  me going throughout our community development and social 
demonstrations  engagement.....and for the remainder of my days was "Not tied to the  
outcome".  


Growing up in Texas, one of my favorite country western songs was a  Dottie 
West song which came to my mind as I was reading your comment:  "I Didn't 
Promise You a Rose Garden": 
Lyrics as follows & youtube with Lynn Anderson singing:

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with  the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got  to give so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could  promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin'  on stalks of clover so you better think 
it over
When it's sweet talking you  could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver  platter but what would it 
matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly  love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while  we can
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along  with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I beg you  pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and  promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as  soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
Look before you  leap still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull  you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a  while...
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden


Grace & Peace
Wanda
