Our mother was quite a seamstress.

She made matching outfits for us for soecial

occassions like Christmas and Easter.

We also had a special excursion uniform.  Each

of us had the same shirt which she had sewn.

Of particular interest was the patch on baby brother’s

shirt with his name and address, and phone number.

This was in case he got lost, since he could not

recite this information yet for himself.

I have to say our mom thought of everything.

When we got to go to the movies, first we would

take our coins and go to Sav-on Drugs and buy

candy, as this was cheaper than going and buying

it directly in the theater.

That way it allowed us to have enough money to buy a

soda pop in the theater as well as a tub of popcurn.

Who could resist that.
