I recently had my DNA done and am currently absorbed in exploring the family tree.

For example, my grandmother was born in 1900 & I remember many things she told me about her childhood years.Elizabeth Dearbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14714209544959819305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-1614282671913239882021-05-03T10:17:57.812-04:002021-05-03T10:17:57.812-04:00I haven't seen Miss Fisher Modern.

I can't relate to Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin's Grace and Frankie because their divorced aging process is so sunshiny and cushioned. How did you feel about Miss Fisher Modern, which was supposed to be California modern, I think?

I spent my 6-16 years in Southern California in the 60s, and it a was COMPLETELY different experience re fashion, cultural beliefs, home styles (California modern, anyone?), etc., than anyone had up here in South Dakota. I remember watching a couple of episodes of Laverne & Shirley and tuning right out - I couldn't relate to ANY of it. Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.com
