TBT: Remembering Those Summers

Sometimes the oddest thing will jog your memory. Last week it was in the Giant grocery store. I saw this big ad and thought of the many many times I took my children there back in the early 80s.

Did their father balk at the cost of 4 summer passes (at about $25. then)? Yes. Do I have any photos of those many visits? No. So this photo of the current ad will have to do.

We were living in Davidsonville that summer and the new? newish? park was not too far from our house. It made for a great day out in the Maryland heat and humidity with the many pools and water slides. I don't know what the park is like today but I know it was a blessing that summer.

TBT: It Had to be The 80s

This photo of my daughter and friends (?) had to be in the 80s or else Mamie was just back from a NASA mission.

TBT Back in the 80s

Ok, we now know that the look of the 80s was not the greatest. But back in the day we thought we were pretty good looking for two women in their 40s off to a Cher concert.

MaryEllen rocked the hair and the PURPLE  satin while I had the flowered pants and blazer with pushed up sleeves. I had forgotten that bit about always getting our sleeves pushed up. Weird. Check out my shoulder pads too!

However we looked, we had a great time. Of course once we got to the Cap Center for the concert, it was clear that both of us were dressed pretty conservatively. But hey! we were Moms out for a night!

eta: I checked dates and while we still looked "80s", Cher's Heart of Stone tour played the Capital Center on May 2, 1990.
