Gloves

Is anybody still out there? I'm just back from a jaunt to Springhill...on a warm sunny afternoon. I parked at Foodland and walked to the Bank...and there on the sidewalk was a lady's white glove. That brought back my memories of High School Graduations (right across the street at the old theatre) when we had to wear white glove with our white dresses.Or was that just Edie's class? I remember that Edie forgot hers which meant her whole class would have to take theirs off. The class was lining up.The ceremony was minutes away.In desperation she sent me to stand at the door of the theatre and stop the first lady I saw with white gloves. Then I had to ask this perfect stranger if I could borrow them.Hmm Why is is that so many memories of my youth are not pleasant ones?
