Remember Laverne and Shirley? Well , last week end I went to my "50th" high school reunion and I put this "K" on my jacket for a hint of who I was. Embroidered name tag. The jacket was purchased from Stein Mart and already a busy design of embroidery all over. Only us embroiders appreciate this!!!! I added the K for fun. Hard to see, white on white. Hope you like it.

If I had known how to hand monogram, I probably would have had my monogram on everything I owned. I do remember hand sewing all the name labels in all my clothes before I went to college. No one told me that if clothes were stolen from the laundry rooms, they didn't care if it had a label or not. Kay

743327I do not think anyone would have to be reminded of you were! It did turn out just like you described! It does look very similar to the big L for Laverne! I have been homesick since you told me you were going to Tn. I miss it sooo much. Everyday that goes by, I regret not buying the house in Wears Valley!! Tn. became my "home" by choice over the many yrs. that we spent so much time there. I have been all over the USA and I have never been anywhere that I loved as much as "the mountains"! You went home and I was the one that got homesick!

Oh, Linda, I have not lived in Tennessee since the 1960's, but every time I start across the Great Smokey Mountains, I feel excited and I am coming home.

Oh Gerry, I meet my long lost fellow cheer leader who married a draft dodger she meet in the Peace Corps and ran off to Canada. I did not have a chance to pick her brain , but what a story it would have been. Mine was in E. Tn. I know are in Knoxville, Every time you see the name Stokely associated with UT, that is my town Newport, Kay
