Such a cheery post -- even grumpy old Wren actually smiled .... Thank you.

But it reminded me of a military party (another one ~groan~) many, many years ago at a civilian place. I dressed in a new, super expensive, lovely little dress, string straps, circle skirt - just great. To get to the party room we had to walk through the public bar ....... Walking through it two men at the bar OBVIOUSLY tried to get my attention -- big smiles, waves of hand ...... gosh !!! Those guys were just knocked out by my gorgeousness!

A few steps later and another man waved at me and winked !! I waved and winked back. I was so attractive I might as well treat these guys, huh?

I had other smiles and nods as we made it into the party room where we saw the waitresses dressed in grand dresses ..... exactly like mine.

Well, they had little aprons and better figures
