She was very fashionable....she wore a feather boa that scared my brother so much, he developed a terror of feathers. No kidding. lol

What a fun little scene! I can’t imagine wearing one of those, but it was definitely a stylish thing in the 1920s. Great memory!

Thank you, Terry! It was a little out of place in 1967, but she was stylin', in her mind. lol

Just goes to show that our strongest memories can be years-long or just a vignette of five minutes. This was such a clear and comical scene to me, Sharon. I would read a full book of these quick, delightful impressions from childhood. Hmmm.... now...who do I know that could write that book...?

I do have a book's worth! Thanks for the idea, Sharron, and thank you for your encouragement, since I have been writing on Substack.
