Hi Ruth,

 RH> >  RH> >  RH> Oddly, I bought Piggly Wiggly t-shirts, complete with
 RH> pig, in a rummage sale.  A friend is getting them at Christmas.

 RH> >  RH> > I've seen some of the shirts but have never thought them
 RH> worthy of my  spending money on.

 RH> >  RH> Probably aren't, but they're a rarity this far North.

So you snagged the shirts when you had the opportunity. (G)

 RH> > The stores aren't as commom now as they were 30/40 years ago. I
 RH> think Lowe's bought them out in NC but do recall seeing scattered
 thru the south. i think SC had one near Hilton Head.

 RH> I'm not sure how far North the stores get, but they probably peter
 RH> out at the Mason-Dixon line.

If not further south. Don't know if they ever made it to MD or VA.

 RH> >  RH> > True, but you wouldn't be the first one to make that fashion
 RH> >  RH> statement. (G)

 RH> >  RH> Yes, but I don't wear white socks with sandals.

 RH> > Nor black socks with sandals and shorts? Saw quite a bit of that
 RH> fashion statement in the Catskills in the 50s and 60s, from
 flatlanders.

 RH> Been done, but not by me.

Nobody saw your knobby knees? (G)

 RH> >  RH> I've done appliques, or at least patches. Unlike some I don't
 RH> wear jeans with holes.

 RH> > I don't either.

 RH> I'm too old for that.  Then again I was always too old for that.

It was one (of many) fashion crazes that I never understood the
reasoning behind.

 RH> >  (have to work on VBS crafts, also farmer's market day & I need to
 RH> >  restock veggies).

 RH> >  RH> I hunt .... anything that smells good.  Quilt fabric is always
 RH> a good find.  Quilting flannels too - scored a ton a few weeks
 ago.

 RH> > Sounds good; I'd have grabbed it if I'd been up that way. I use it
 RH> for baby quilts. We got the cherry pie made and got more cherries

 RH> Quilt backs too.

Sounds good to me.

 RH> > Also got blueberries from a couple of local growers. Some will go
 RH> into a pie, others frozen and bagged for later use and the rest
 just used on cereal and suchlike. Got some lettuce, a canary melon,
 beans and onions at the market today. Baked goodies include blueberry
 pop tarts, banana pecan bread, pb cookies, and oatmeal/raisin
 cookies--all in all, a good day of shopping.

 RH> Sounds good to me too! Pecan bread and canary melons?  I could go
 RH> with that.

Come down for the picnic and you can pick some up for yourself. Melons
may be gone then but the bread will still be around, as well as other
goodies.

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
