I like my picture also, so I didn't care about them reusing it.

But the hair, though...
Y'all notice the pattern, right?
Personally, I liked the fashion of the 40s. The clothes were classic and the hair was on point.
I like the fashion from the 20's (flappers) through the mid-50's. I don't want to wear the stuff but it looks classy.

Sounds delish! Dinner tonight is spaghetti and meatballs, with a salad. I could probably get going on the meatballs soon. The rest I can wait to open at dinner time.
That dinner sounds great. We had hot dogs & mac and cheese for lunch. It will be dinner too, with a salad.

@dryerlintfan muslin will be the cheapest lining just make sure it's 100% cotton. Quilting cotton works great for the outside. Make sure to pre wash your fabric and dry on hot WITHOUT a dryer sheet did I mention do not use fabric softener
This is funny because I normally do not use dryer sheets but just picked some up for the first time last night for when I wash the bedding so it's not so staticky.

I have to contradict that a tad. A few songs were good, very few. Music, real music definitely had its pinnacle in the 60's. It all died when the Beatles broke up. I honestly have found almost nothing created after the new millennium worth listening too. I realize that every generation had it's own music, but the fact that the Beatles still sell a lot of records, 50 years after they stopped being a band, is almost mind boggling even to a fan like myself.

I'm not sure if it is a good thing to admit or not, but I have that same little moose sitting on my dresser. I think I won it for my wife back when we were friends. I'm not sure, but it is cute and it makes me smile when I look at it.
I had 60 days inform the DMV of my change of address. For regular licenses you can do that online and they just used your old photo. Since I have a Commercial Drivers License with a Passenger endorsement, for some reason I had to go to the DMV just to change my address. The place is closed to walk ins but they do schedule appointments. I went in they took a new picture and I just receive the new one in the mail yesterday. I'm still not sure why I had to go in, unless they do a secret observation to find out if all your faculties are working and you look strong enough to turn a steering wheel. My current license expires in the summer of 2021 and I am probably going to let my CDL go and just get a regular one since I will be 73 by then and probably won't really want to pay the extra for a license I probably won't use.

Ok so, now my car is taking me thru North Carolina to get back to Cinci. Whatever, doesn’t look like any crazy mountain roads on the map, so I’m good.
We’re in some little town, don’t know the name, but the people are staggeringly friendly!! We stopped at a roadside antique store, bought a cowbell and garden decoration (T’s choice) and some Amish Butter, fresh baked muffins, and another salsa.
Went to ring up, and apparently it’s cash only., not ATMs around, but I’m told to go to the Dollar General across the street. I’ve never been in a Dollar General store. I decided to grab a small soft cooler for the butter, we didn’t bring a cooler with us. It’s was $22.50. I always thought Dollar stores were all one dollar items. Lol.. but I didn’t really think that cooler would be a dollar.
So we’re in line and the guy in front of us just hands a $1 bill to T, says “buy a piece of candy for you”. T looks at me shocked, looks at the guy, and says “Wow. Thank you.” Looks at me again and said “The mountains really do have the nicest people, this is unreal. “. The man laughed.
We go back to the antique store/ food mart. One of the old men says “I have corn in the boiler for you, can you stay another 10 minutes?” Then the woman (I’m assuming his wife) Comes up to T and says “Here this is for you”. It was a Trump 2020 winter hat, with fur on the inside.
Please Please don’t misconstrue this as a political post..
When we pulled up to the store and got out, T says “Look Mom, a Trump sign! They must be republicans.” Then he sees a 9/11 sign and says “Wow, these are good patriots.”
The people asked him if he was republican, he said “Oh, yes! And I’m a patriot too.”
After all of that, we then went to a Taco Stand next door. Now at a gas station waiting for T to finish in the restroom, I had to buy ice for the tiny soft sided cooler— realizing that this small stick of Amish Butter has turned into the most expensive butter that I will ever buy
.
Prior to going in the restroom, T said “I’ve never seen such happy and nice people. I can’t believe people just wanted to give stuff to me. The mountain air must make people really friendly . “

What a sweet gesture for that man to give T some money for candy. Glad that you both had a nice getaway.

Our RMV has also extended various services. Our car is up for inspection (ugh!) and we've been given an extra 60 days to get it done. We dread this requirement, because any stupid little thing that's wrong, can fail the entire inspection, even if it's nothing to do with any safety issues with the car. So at least we can put it off for 2 months.

I live in a small coastal town in SC and its 30 miles in either direction to a grocery store. About 6 years ago we got a Dollar general and it was like the best thing that ever happened in this town. Our dollar general carries just about anything we need -- all the essentials cookies, soda, ice-cream-- really-- milk, bread, laundry detergent, even fresh produce, frozen food.

The dreaded car inspection having lived in FL at that time they had inspections I remember having to go back 4 times each time it was some other nit pickin thing. Before I moved they did away with it. SC has no inspection and from was I have read it does nothing to insure vehicles are safe. Highway patrol has the right to pull you over and write you up if your car is unsafe.
