On July 23 of 1987, I did join Pieter on a trip to the Division Office for Campbell's Soup mushroom business.
My very first visit actually.
Wearing my high tops and slouch socks with my jeans skirt...
Yes, it's me!
Okay, I turned around for you...
Photo taken in our hallway on November 17, 2020... 33 years later!
That is one of my favorite jeans skirts; STILL!
Faded but I will never manage to wear this one out...
Only the buttons I've altered, they are closer together.
WOW, dearest Mariette, you still look like a lovely young woman!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Pieter a lovely weekend!
Love and hugs, Claudia xo
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteThank you but young I'm not any more...
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, You are to be congratulated--I wonder how many people could wear the same clothes for such a period of time. I tried to think of my oldest article of clothing, but except for a few pieces that were basically in storage, almost everything has been purchased since I left Ohio.
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteFor you it also was about moving to a different climate, compared to Ohio.
Sometimes I wish I still had a certain piece but I also gave away things...
Yes, I could have fit my entire life in the clothes that fit me since age 15, without having to do anything for it. Well, being active and I've been called hyper as well but even that does fade a bit with age.
Hugs,
Mariette
Exactly how I dressed in 1987. :) I can't believe you still have the outfit after all these years. My weight has fluctuated a lot and clothes have come and gone.
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteThat is great that you too recognize this kind of style.
Loved wearing my high tops and slouch socks; then and now!
Not everyone is keeping an Eco-friendly body for not having to toss out constantly her clothes...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette...I am a little envious that you still look terrific in the same outfit.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Pieter a Happy Thanksgiving....... <3
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteThank you but it must be mainly genetic! I got two brothers that have not changed over the years. The rest did.
Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well; you're early but time seems to fly.
Mariette
Siques teniendo la buena figura, de cuando eras bastante joven...Te conservas bastante bien.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias y por mí, no he cambiado de tamaño desde la edad de quince años hasta casi setenta... Buenos genes, supongo.
Abrazos,
Mariette
I wouldn't get my calf into clothes from 1987. Seriously. I'm always amazed at those who seem to have high metabolisms and don't gain weight. That's amazing, I hope you feel as great as you looked then and now! :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteWell, a high metabolism indeed and due to over active thyroids, which can cause other problems.
Hugs,
Mariette
The best things in life remain the best things!! Cheers and Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteWell, the best thing is to have a good working brain!
All other is just added bonus and I guess I'm lucky with some good genes.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow!;-))))))
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteWell, I might not belong to the largest group but no doubt I am a lone wolf!
Hugs,
Mariette
You look fabulous! Okay, have a fabulous weekend too!
ReplyDeleteDearest Brian,
DeleteThank you and wishing our neighbor state residents, furry and two-legged, also a happy weekend!
Hugs,
Mariette
Well you have just gotten better and better. Now you need to share your secret.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteThank you! Guess it is just some good genes... I've never done anything extra for staying the way I am.
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow ... wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mariette.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThank you!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteHow are you and how is every one.
Please take care and be safe.
Dearest Munir,
DeleteBoth of us and the remaining kitties are fine!
Sadly we lost one on October 28.
We enjoy the outdoors and bike, weather and time permitting.
Hugs,
Mariette
Love them & now photos! Your physique hasn’t changed!
ReplyDeleteLove your jeans skirt. It looks great on you then and now :-)
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteThank you and I guess due to your slender posture, the very same is true for you!
That jeans skirt will never go...
Hugs,
Mariette
Hoi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteMaar dat is toch super. Leuk dat die kleren je van toendertijd nog steeds passen.
En het staat je nog goed ook en het is weer modern ook.
Groetjes, Marco
Beste Marco,
DeleteDank je en of het modern is of niet, maakt mij helemaal niks uit omdat ik zelf veel beter kan beoordelen wat past of niet.
Het is inderdaad geweldig om nog steeds in alles te passen. Ben enkel van binnen rijker en dus ook 'zwaarder' geworden!
Liefs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWow! ist das beeindruckend, Du kannst immer noch die Größe tragen wie vor über 30 Jahren und Du siehst so gut aus. Geht es Dir und Pieter gut? Überall eine schlimme Sache mit dem C.... hier in Ostfriesland hält es sich in Grenzen und mein Mann und ich sind gesund, Gott sei Dank.
Ich schicke liebe Grüße und wünsche Euch weiterhin gute Gesundheit und munter bleiben ;-)))
Traudi.♥
Liebe Traudi,
DeleteDanke, ja wir beide haben gute Genen und sind auch immer sehr aktiv geblieben!
Es geht uns gut und wir beide wissen etwas mehr von Viren also lassen wir auch nicht so beangstigen von der böse Media! Ich erinnere mich noch sehr gut das jeden Sonntag wo wir mit den Eltern telefoniert haben in den Niederlanden, meine Mutter sagte: Oh, wir haben wieder mit dem Chor eine Messe singen müßen. Keine Hochzeit doch WIEDER einer verstorben! Das war wirklich jede Woche so, besonders im Winter. Ältere Menschen sterben wenn sie eine gute Kälte oder Grippe haben. Noch nie hat die Media darüber Statistieken gezeigt! Also jetzt mit diese Corona die ja 99.97% Überlebenschance hat, soll man Angst bekommen? Es sind mehr verstorben aus Einsamkeit oder Depression als vom Virus...
Liebe Grüße,
Mariette
I'm just playing "read older blog posts" on all my friends' blogs... things I may not have read if I didn't know the blogger before I found them.
ReplyDeleteYou are as cute and beautiful as ever, Mariette!
I hope you're doing well, Mariette! Sure miss you being online, my friend. Sending you big hugs and lots of prayers as you continue recovering. 💕
Dearest Diana,
DeleteThank you for this comment!
I was awake, have been sleeping almost the entire day... Today the Home Health Nurse will visit for the very first time. Tomorrow back to the Wound Care doctor for having the stitches removed and getting my wound vac—if still needed?! Stupid for discharging me in Savannah but taking the wound vac off... Then here a new one needed to be ordered and that takes time. We both managed to take care of my 'oozing' wound but it is no fun.
WHO would have thought about an aortic dissection/aneurysm?
Life will never be the same...
Hugs,
Mariette
