Ruffles...

Just can't resist posting these ruffled daylilies...
I know I have got to stop posting these...
but just had to do just one more.

***********
For some reason these ruffles, especially the last daylily above reminds me of the full, frilly slips little girls used to wear under their little dresses.

That led to me remembering girls in our high school had to wear dresses....we could not wear pants till our senior year in high school.  I can't imagine that happening at any school today.  Things have changed so much.   Our school cafeteria served lunch, it was either take it or bring your own.  There were no choices to be made...I think only regular milk was served...no choice of what to drink.  It was either milk or water.

I remember getting cornbread every now and then that had the sugar in it.  I wouldn't eat it, but one of my friends thought it was like getting an extra piece of cake and always enjoyed it. 

I don't remember many of the foods we had...probably my favorite was their pizza.  And my favorite dessert was the no bake chocolate cookies.  And I still love them today, though I seldom make them.  Not even sure I have made them since the girls moved out.  One of these days Lorelei and I will make some...

Her mom makes them now...in fact her mom has made them for almost as long as I can remember.  She had a friend that lived over on the next street...almost any time they spent much time together, they ended up cooking...and a lot of times they made the no bake cookies.  Sometimes they had to go between their homes to get all the ingredients...

And speaking of cookies, I think I need one more snack before I go to bed....
