Tonight we went to our friend's wedding. I packed my pearls for the event. Always reminds me of when my hubby first joined the military and the Ft. Knox post commander's wife advised us all to buy a pair of pearls. I think that was the only bit of advice she gave us that I followed. She was from the old generation of officers wives and we were the new generation. Now I'm the old generation and I love to tell the newer wives all the ridiculous stuff she told us, such as never going to the commissary unless our hair was styled, make-up was on and we were dressed in a skirt and pumps.
