About Me
- Alice Garbarini Hurley
- Montclair, New Jersey
- I'm Alice and I've been writing for most of my life--first, in a little green five-year diary my friend Lorraine gave me for Christmas in 6th grade, then for newspapers, magazines, websites and companies. I've blogged here, often daily, since Feb. 2010, trying hard to write truthfully even when it's scary. My husband and I are now freelance writers, so sometimes still we can afford salmon for dinner and sometimes we can't. Our daughter (blog name Figgy) is an artist and scientist in cyanobacteria algae research. The teen we are raising as legal guardians but have loved as our own (code name Punch/Skippy/Spice/Spike) is in high school. Our days range from sunny to sad, successful, sweet or funny.

Hey alice, glad you are relaxing in the evenings, and gathering your strength. I have no memory of the doris day show but agree her look is wonderful. I remember the teen books of the 60s, and the teens did not have the huge amounts of clothes we do, or Doris did. I remember one book about a teen sighing over a peer who had a different sweater for every school day. And most girls made their prom dresses. And she was not poor, it was the norm. I am not sure when the plentiful cheap clothes for everyone arrived.
ReplyDeleteHard couple of weeks here, but looking forward to Easter.
