Those are indeed some fancy shoes on the boys, I'm guessing they are Italian. And it must have been the 'blast from the past' lunch that did us in- there was no way I was actually getting on that bus though, might never let me off!

The two ladies could have stepped forward just one step and both would have had a little more room, without danger of anyone falling into the water. Lady on the right does look precarious! Did you notice the large pocket on the outside of the dress of the lady on the right? I know Colonial women wore separate pockets under their skirts but this is the first time I've seen one on the outside. And it's huge! Your post makes me want to visit Lake Oquaga and see it for myself.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-54103984341831297192012-10-29T11:44:17.555-07:002012-10-29T11:44:17.555-07:00You have such wonderful old photos.

I love looking at the clothing in them--the knickers and the two-tone shoes in this post are especially fun to see.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-71116074735391283712012-10-29T11:15:25.818-07:002012-10-29T11:15:25.818-07:00I like the saying "the best way to get the la...I like the saying "the best way to get the last word is to apologize", although it is a bit strange to see it on a menu (do you have to apologize to the waiter?). Also, I had to look up shuffleboard, never heard of it, and there doesn't seem to be a Dutch translation. It reminds me of sjoelen, an old Dutch parlor game.
