Carla Jo’s Junior prom dress

I remember my dad(Carl) would drop me off at Martha’s house when he would got to work.  One day, Martha, Grandma Goldie, Richard, and I all went to the Dayton Mall.  We pushed Richard all around the mall in his stroller.  We went into Elder-Beerman’s where I saw at that time the most beautiful prom dress. It was all pink lace.  Martha made me try it on so we would know what size to tell mom.  I thought that was huge!!  Only, the next huge hurdle was mom letting me have it.  Of course, a prom dress with that slightly high price tag was my only worry.  My mom(Joyce) wasn’t worried about the price tag, she was worried about the dress having satin spaghetti straps.  Of all the things that never crossed my mind.  It still had a little lace jacket, but mom just had a fit about the straps.  Needless to say, we got the dress, but Martha had to help me out by talking my mom into getting that dress.  Thanks, Aunt Martha!!!
