I vividly remember that. Pants were not allowed in school. Rule changed when I reached junior high. That was the first time I remember buying something at a store where I tried the item on before buying. It was a pair of jeans!<br />Regards,<br />Theresa (Tangled Trees)TCasteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261694755025450452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698242723747030434.post-24808700695085476622011-09-06T17:22:57.409-07:002011-09-06T17:22:57.409-07:00I remember my mother referring to all of the mail-...I remember my mother referring to all of the mail-order catalogs as "wish books," too - Sears, Montgomery Ward, and Penny's. When my girls were little, in addition to children's books, I used to get out the toy catalogs and make up stories about the dolls and stuffed animals - they loved it. We get fewer catalogs and do more online shopping these days, but I don't think online shopping can ever totally replace the joy and promise of a new catalog coming in the mail.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698242723747030434.post-73370983218323386762011-09-06T14:49:04.528-07:002011-09-06T14:49:04.528-07:00Since reading your first blog, I've found that...Since reading your first blog, I've found that I anxiously await the next memory.
