Goodbye, Gams!!

If my legs looked like Betty Grable’s, I’d still be showing them. Also, my hips would have to look like hers.

For a very brief time in my life, I had a fairly good figure and enjoyed wearing dresses. But time, motherhood and arthritis put an end to that. I didn’t like the way I looked in dresses or skirts. I still had a few dresses for special occasions or church, but I wasn’t happy with the way I looked. After I had my first knee replacement I tried long skirts for quite a while, but the hips still insisted on being the star attraction. I got rid of the dresses and kept with the long skirts. Still hated the way I looked. A couple months ago I finally got rid of the long skirts.

I think I look OK in nice slacks, so that’s what I wear for the times I need to dress up a bit. Otherwise, it’s jeans. As far as shorts go, I got rid of those some time ago. A woman of my age should NOT go out in public in shorts. I do enjoy wearing capris in the summer. Those go past my scarred knees and I think they look OK.

So no more gams for grandma! The showing of the shins is as far as I go!
