Oh RAVEN.....what memories!

Thank the lord I was only a pre-teen during those days and only occasionally even attemped to have hair up that HIGH! What in the world were they thinking???????

That's when they would fix it once a week and wrap it in toliet paper and sleep on silk pillow cases to preserve it!

And, this is as high as my mom's hair ever got! Of course, I had those banana curls and no teeth - - that's why the silly grin - lol!!! (1963)

You misspelled "Layne"

Problem was, this East Tennessee preacher was all but illiterate. 4th grade education. Don't get me wrong, not making fun. Just stating facts. He'd write these letters and he'd have me (since I was his self-appointed secretary) to dress them up and correct his spelling. (Which was adventurous and time-consuming to say the least).

His letter had one sentence that, try as I might, I just couldn't decern: "Now, if you are in a blike slice condication...". Huh? What in the world was a "blike slice condication"???? I went to the brother and asked for clarification. Thats when I learned that a "blike slice condication" was....

a "back slidden condition".

The really scary part is I figures out what it was before you posted it.

Been in the south way to long. lol

I remember those hairdos. I remember that if you sat behind a woman with hair like that, you couldn't see a thing except the back of her hair. I remember some of sitting behind some of those women and amusing ourselves by carefully slipping hairpins out without them noticing. I remember that if you sat behind one of those hairdos, the pastor couldn't see you from the platform, so you could get away with passing notes, chewing gum and other offenses much easier.

I also remember people first coming into church and how excited they would be the first time they discovered that their hair had grown long enough to put up like that.

And I remember people making "rats" for in those hairdos out of a variety of different things. ONe of the worst was when the ladies bought nylon netting and scrunched it all up in a ball, then stuffed it into a hairnet and sewed it shut. Then they built their hairdo around that. Talk about scratchy!!!

Did you all make and paint plaster-craft pieces as a fund raiser in your churches? We did that one year and made over $1000 for missions on them. We made those fancy urn looking things that you hang on the wall and put fake vines in them. Painted them fake gold and sold them like hot cakes. And we made things like lampbases, candlestick holders. All kinds of stuff.

The other fund raiser that we did for many years and made LOTS of money on was molding Easter candy. One sister had a kitchen in her basement so we would all meet there and melt and mold the chocolates and bag them up and put pretty ribbons on them. Then people would sell them at their places of employment. And we would hold big bake-sale-like-sales at our local grocery store for several weekends in a row. Nothing cost over $5.00, and most things were 25-50 cents. But we made good money on this project. I think they just stopped making Easter chocolates about 2 years ago. So they did it for over 20+ years.

Renda- My mom wore that hairdo for years. I have a picture we took when I was 8 years old and her hair was that style.
