Summer 2016: Straight Out of 1965

We had helped to pack up the trucks for my folks before leaving for Memphis. When we got back, they were unloaded and in their new house. It was a great chance to clean and straighten and find priceless treasures. I mentioned to my mom where I was putting her wedding dress, sealed in its box since the 1960's. She said, "Take it out." I had never seen her dress, though I remember wanting to badly when I was a girl.

It was stunning. My girls tried it on. They were stunning.

I love that my mom decided it was time to open it. My girls will never forget this.
