A weekend in the 1950s

I have survived a typical 1950s weekend and came out unscathed.  And on a holiday weekend at that.  Saturday consisted of doing some laundry and other chores.  Then my husband and children took me out to eat for a lovely Mother's Day supper.  I did wear a dress, heels, hose, and pearls but opted to leave the hat at home. 
Sunday was church as usual and I did go all out with hat, gloves, and small beaded handbag.  I was a pretty well decked out 50s lady if I do say so myself.  After church, we went to my husband's aunt's house for a large family dinner.  Due to the fact that we ate a big meal and ate it later in the afternoon, I was fortunate to not have to fix the typical big Sunday supper.  I did have it all planned out and ready though.  I will do it for sure next Sunday, complete with my Granny's chocolate pie!
I'm really beginning to like this lifestyle.  Yes, it's hard work keeping up the house to the degree they did and it wears me out making sure I'm dolled up at all times but there are good things.  I don't have the constant interruption of my cell phone beeping texts, Facebook updates, and emails.  I don't waste hours playing games on the computer and browsing Pinterest for craft and decorating projects.  I love getting to fix my hair and wear fabulous clothes.  I find myself wanting to buy more dresses and hats from that era.  I already have a vintage hat collection but I want to find some more that I can wear.  I've added buying a 1950s retro car to my bucket list.  Focusing so much time and effort on my husband and kids gives me such a rewarding feeling.  If I wasn't a believer that God puts each person here for a set purpose at a set time, I'd swear I was born 60 years too late.  I could fit in so nicely in the 50s.  There are so many things that I'm sure will stay with me long after this experiment is over and that my friends makes this all worthwhile.
Now it's time to get my cornbread out of the oven so I can have a nice bowl of cornbread and buttermilk while I work on my research paper for school.  Oh, sorry that there are no pictures today but I'm sure y'all are tired of seeing all the dirty places in my house.  Tootles!
