Though she wore very little makeup (didn't need it and still doesn't) she was a wizard with the stuff and used to use it to paint our faces for Halloween. She's still got it, but these days she keeps emergency medical supplies in it. Mary O.

This made me think about how I loved watching my mother put on her lipstick.

Before the days of carseats, I sat on top of it with a pillow on long trips, so I could see out the window. The case had all these pockets and slots and strips of elastic to hold stuff.Rootietoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804816032287310463noreply@blogger.com
