On another blog, saw an old photo where a beach-patrol man was measuring the length of the suit a 50-something woman

was wearing.  Today, we might question, why would anyone back then care what some aging woman was showing a bit too much (cellulitey) leg?  Think the answer to that is:  back then, young women tended - more so than today - to look up to older women.  Younger women back then took their social cues from older women.

Though i bet that guy liked his job.

i like the style of her suit.  It's not too different from mine.  Though i like her's ALOT better, because it's about 3 inches longer.  Thirty years ago, you couldn't find swimdresses - otherwise, i'd of had some.  Even then, when i had muscle-tone, i didn't care for running around virtually naked - and getting sunburn.  Back then, i had a stupid two-piece - and fell asleep in the Maryland beach sun.  Ouch!

Don't know if i'll go swimming this summer - i didn't last summer.  Basically, have been "sheltering in place" since late 2018 (when my husband passed away).  Just not interested in going places.
