Ladies old enough to be my mother smile and smirk when I wear a dress or skirt from time to time. There is a 95 year old lady in town who frequently wears dresses and gets made fun of by the other old women. This is so sad. <BR/><BR/>I am of the baby-boom generation --the generation that never grew up. Our country is so youth oriented.
