Blog Prompt: Have you ever thought (or been told) that you were born in the wrong time? When in history do you think you would best 'fit in'?
I think I'm more conservative than many people in my area that are my age. It may be because I grew up sisters who were 10 and 12 years older than me. I loved the 50s and wish I had grown up during that time instead of the late 60s and 70s. I was not big into the hippie days with the free sex and drugs running rampant all around me. My parents did not have a lot of money so by the time I could afford fashions and fads of the day, I was already 3 years behind. I love the fashions and the music of the fifties because everything seemed more romantic during those days.
I love the southern belle outfits of the Civil War days but I'm too attached to modern conveniences to want to have actually lived during those day. I love the gallantry of men during the Civil War days too (can you imagine any of them wearing "sagging pants"?

I am with ya.. I have to say that I am glad that I was not born during the sixties or seventies. I just have never gotten the ... bohemian way of life. Now the civil war era I would have loved in fact that is where I feel I belong. Right there with Rhett and Miss Scarlet. I do agree modern conveniences are nice however... especially indoor plumbing. LOL! LOL! LOL!
I love the music of the fifties. It was a much simpler time. The cars were really cool, too.
Definitely love the ideas and values of the fifties and I love reading books and watching movies during the Civil War. Great post, Pat!
I can actually picture you in the 50's. You would look darling in a poodle skirt.
