    Hi Terry - When it comes to looking fantastic I think you have us all beat......

    People just say the craziest things...I guess when we were 18 or 19 people in their 50's just looked so old to us...

    P.S. If you were talking about your cousin Diane, she is going to kill you because she doesn't turn 50 until August (Diane if you are reading this I am sorry I told your age lol lol )

    Love
    Judy

    Sue, I am afraid I did make myself clear. Perhaps Chix Site ia the wrong analogy. It is a site for people (Men or Chix)who want daily contact with friends in their own age bracket who lived approximately between Prospect Ave and the Cemetary. I lived on 12th Street between 5th & 6th Aves and have had not one person from that area respond. I have always felt welcomed on this site and will continue to interject occasional memories. One comes to mind with Thanksgiving being the topic: There was a bakery on 5th Ave between 12th & 13th Street next to Michaels & Co toward 13th. It was called "Levines" for years and then the owner remarried and it was calle "Lafers". In those days many people did not have ovens big enough to cook a big Turkey. Others just did not want to do the cooking. You could bring your Turkey to Levines/Lafers early Thanksgiving morning. They would cook it in their huge bakery ovens. When you walked on 5th Ave Thanksgiving day the aroma coming from that bakery filled 5th ave and it smelled delicious.

    Another Thanksgicing feature was that we (Kids) dressed up like ragamuffins and went door to door asking "Anything for Thanksgiving". We would sing a Thanksgiving song and people would give us Apples, Oranges Walnuts or even pennies. On Halloween we did NOT go trick or treating. We just beat the hell out of each other with socks full of flour and we chalked each other up. We saved the begging for Thanksgiving Day. :roll: :roll:
