The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

[Mother of Chaos]

You won't believe this, but my adoptive mother wore a AAAA shoe! Don't recall if it was a 5 or 6, though. When I was little, she used to take me into downtown Atlanta to get her shoes at Thompson Boland Lee shoe store because they were the only place she could find them at the time.

That's just crazy! What are the odds??

Shopping with moms is rarely the most exciting thing ever, and looking for weird shoe sizes took it to a whole new level.

What's a dress?

You're asking the wrong woman. I haven't worn one in decades. Not practical on a homestead and not as safe for women these days, limits mobility. That's why, as charming and vintage as it looks when these homestead women types prairie dresses, it's just not a farm costume that I can get behind.

My grandmother always wore a dress. Never saw her in pants until she got into her 90's and had no choice. Husband asks why I don't wear long johns underneath my sweatpants when I go outside in winter. I tell him I come from a long line of polish women who wore a dress all winter. We have tough legs. It's genetics.

Every morning it's definitely sweatpants for me. My grandmothers also wore dresses, even on the farm. Still, I'm too cold for dresses. I don't wear long johns under my sweats, either. I hate layering, feels like someone tied me up.
