Born in Canada, love that land, and landed in the USA as a young bride. Turned gypsy for a time travelling this land in our hippie mobile VW van, young and free. Soon mother to be , until seven children later and six grandchildren here I be, blessed by them all.
Now that made me smile and here I was thinking that when I started teaching in 1988 that we had it rough. We also had to adhere to some pretty strict rules. If we wore trousers to, they had to be tailored and our bottoms had to be covered by a long jacket/coat or a top that would ensure good coverage. Our blouses had to come at least half down our upper arms. All tops had to have collars and no T-shirt style fabrics. We were not allowed to wear sandals, only court shoes. Things have certainly changed over the years! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Jody;
DeleteWow it sounds like they still had us suffocating in rules even in our time. Thanks for sharing.
