The Granny Dress For Modern-Day Grannies

January 11, 2021 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 10 Comments

Calico fabric design

Do you remember when we wore granny dresses? They were countrified and prudish long dresses with high necks, long sleeves, and lots of ruffles. I think they may have been a solution to the mid-calf mini- skirts we were wearing. Granny dresses haven’t exactly gone away but are now a little sexier. They’re also comfortable and an attractive clothing item to wear now that … [Read more...]

Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Hero for Women

September 20, 2020 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 13 Comments

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I had been escaping from the Internet for most of the day when I happened to check my Twitter feed. I couldn’t believe it! Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was gone! Many of us hoped she’d last through January and yet it was amazing she made it so long. She died of pancreatic cancer.

Baby Boomers | High School | Newspaper Reporters 1971

Now they are making a huge difference in the political landscape even though some “adults” protest they should have stayed in class and have even threatened them with bodily harm. It made me think of the … [Read more...]

Remembering President Kennedy as a Baby Boomer Kid

November 1, 2017 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 10 Comments

Baby Boomers | Nostalgia | President Kennedy Assassination

The Baby Boomer generation extends from 1949 – 1964 and I’m smack dab in the middle, born in 1953. I was 10-years-old the day President Kennedy was assassinated and remember it like it was yesterday. The fact that classified documents dealing with the assassination are being released to the public after 50 years is a big deal. Who doesn’t wonder what really happened and why? … [Read more...]
