…to a place and time where style demanded more than shower curtains, upholstery fabric and industrial strength Spanx.

Protocol required, at a minimum, that you file your taxes. Also that gifts not be all about you.

The Academy Awards was a show the whole family could watch. And enjoy.
Airline travel required your best clothes, and you needn’t empty your pockets or remove your shoes before being full body x-rayed simply for the privilege of boarding a dirty, smelly air craft.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
Did I tell you I think I can make my dreams come true? Don’t tell anyone.
