my hippy side




I like what my son calls Hippie clothes. Gypsy type skirts, beads and bangles, that kind of thing. I have some Indian outfits that aren't exactly mainstream, you know, for my British type nationality.



I think if I had been born a decade earlier to a non-Christian family I probably would have embraced the hippie lifestyle. Free-living, free-loving, barefoot with kids named Buttercup and Moonbeam. And I'd have a VW van, for sure. A psychedelic one, man. Far out!



But, thank God I was spared that life, because all that free-livin and lovin can lead to some brain damage and certain diseases you'd rather not mention. As well as calloused feet, and stinky clothes.



So I have a tie dye debit card and I wear some funky clothes from time to time, but that's about the extent of it. Oh, sometimes I grind my own flour - that's a little hippie-ish I guess. But I use a machine, not a rock.



And I dressed up like a hippie for my husband's halloween Birthday last year.



There you go.

  3. I enjoyed that picture! I was a teenager in the 70's and I always had this free spirit, hippie wanna-be thing inside me that I was never allowed to let surface. But somehow, I think it has come out in my son. He even went this past summer to a Christian Woodstock type music festival.

  6. That's not your real card is it? Could be a security risk.

  9. When the baby boomers are in nursing homes, the big activity of the year will be a Woodstock celebration. I can see it now. I think your hair is dyed. I can see the dark hair roots in the front!

  11. Kay, I am one of those gals who wish they could wear hippy-things. No courage, probably. But I am a folk song lover from way back. Your blog is so creative. It is fun to discover a new blog that will be fun to read! If you come to my reading at English Tealeaves, I would love to meet you face to face!
