When I was growing up, we lived out in the "boonies" and grew most of
what we ate. Going out to eat was an _Occasion_ back then, and
something we only did once or twice a year. Before going out, my
brother and I had to take a (tub, too young for showers at that point)
bath, shampoo our hair and brush our teeth and put on Sunday Clothes.
We always thought it was weird to brush our teeth before eating!

I can remember as a small kid being yanked into "Sunday clothes"
because we were going to the airport to see Grandma off on a flight to
Scotland. Just *going* to the airport, to meet someone or see them
off, was a full dress occasion. Grandma was respendent in full tartan
suit, wedge shoes (she had bad feet), gloves, and a really stupid hat
(words fail me. Sort of a bandeau with rosettey things above the
ears. And with veiling.)
