While you enjoy these gorgeous homes on a street about 2 blocks from downtown Frederick, MD. I am going to share with you my most (well one of ...) embar'ass'ing moments in life.
Always chuckle when I think about this ...
I once (dressed up for the special occasion) was meeting a Congressman for lunch to discuss legislation on swimming pool safety to be discussed before a committee in a few days
... I had to excuse myself from the table ... back when micro minis were IN & I was young enough & thin enough (yup! once upon a time) to wear them ... I walked thru this gi-normus (& let me tell you it was huge!) restaurant, visited the loo & returned to our table. As I was walking thru the restaurant I noticed everyone was looking at me ... I wasn't sure how to take it so I just smiled sweetly, & returned to my table!
As I sat down the bartender came over & whispered something in the Congressman's ear ... the Congressman said 'I don't know how to tell you this, Marydon, but your skirt is caught up in your pantyhose. Welllllllllll, red as my hair is! my face was redder ... I could have died! is an understatement. When I sat down my skirt became dislodged & back into proper positioning.
And, what is your most embarrassing moment in life? I need a chuckle today.
Enjoy the rest of the homes ...
Beautiful homes. I am still laughing at your story!! Oh my! It does make for a great funny story though. Thanks for sharing and making my day!!
ReplyDeleteLovely homes and oh boy that is

Wonderful post, and I will have to think about my most embarrassing moment. I'm sure I have one or two.
ReplyDeleteNow, Marydon, HOW can I concentrate and enjoy the beautiful homes and music when I'm rolling around laughing at the thought of you in all your shining glory waltzing thru the restaurant! That is just priceless!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled that you are going to participate in the Wedding Blog Party with us on the 25th! THanks so much for adding my button to your blog!
I'll email you and talk you thru how to do the linky stuff....

Oh you poor thing you. I got one for you of the many ways that I have embarrassed myself. I am actually quite good at it. I did the Mrs Michigan pageant several years ago. I had a reporter and photographer come out to do a story for the local paper. I was proudly showing off my garden that I had planted. I really hate grasshoppers and they loved my broccoli plants. Right when everything was going great a big old grasshopper flew down the front of my dress. Right out of that dress i came! When I came back to reality, I realized that not only were there 2 shocked people staring at me in my underwear, but it seemed the whole neighborhood came running at my screaming. Hence, I no longer plant broccoli.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pics. I just love seeing pics of older neighborhoods. This one is gorgeous!
Oh, that is funny. Sorry that it happened to you.
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing moments?
One that I don't remember but have been told about so many time is that when I was potty training and my Dad was a Pastor I came down the aisle, dress over my head and all other clothing around my ankles saying that I needed help. Dad was in the pulpit attempting to preach...He froze and pointed to tell my Mom to get me and take care of my problem.
I haven't made that mistake since...lol.

I am not kidding the same thing happen to me in the airport. I just wanted to die.
ReplyDeletePatsy
OMG, Marydon... that made me giggle but I know it wasn't funny at the time:) It is great that you can even tell it! Enjoy your evening my friend! I'll have to think about what my most embarassing moment is. Can't think of one right now! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteGreat story, you gave me a good laugh today. These are beautiful old homes, love them. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteSandy
That is tooooooooooooooo funny!!
ReplyDeleteOh Marydon, I saw that same thing happen to a lady I worked with. I could not get to her fast enough to tell her what was wrong!
ReplyDeleteAs one of your other commenters says, I don't remember this, but when I was just a toddler I hated a wet diaper. One day I had found my mother's red high heels and was walking around in front of the neighbors naked with those red shoes!!!!
Loved looking at these big beautiful homes! Laughed at your skirt story - so sorry!! Mine is almost a little worse, I walked into a store and noticed all these people looking at my feet. A bra was caught on the heel of my shoe......ugh!!!!! And I had dragged it all the way in there not knowing!
ReplyDeleteI love these big ol' homes, Marydon. Shew~I do feel for you for that embarrassing moment ;) Crikey!
ReplyDeletehahahhaha
ReplyDeleteYou DON'T want to know mine! I'm too embarrassed to tell.
xoRebecca
PS: Got your forms today.
I was on a first date and just at that awkward moment when he walks you to the door and you don't know if you should kiss or not. As I opened the screen door a frog jumped onto my chest and as i started jumping around I passed gas ...loudly! He never called again, but unlike you I kept my clothes on ha!

Throwing up in a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and emptying the table around us, sugar. I didn't go back there for 3 days. I fell into the plate and hubs laughed his fool head off. Very embarrassing...
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Connie
Wait, it was the White Farm House that took her clothes off!, You just lifted up your skirt!
ReplyDeleteOh Marydon! What a hoot! I don't have any stories that embarrassing I don't think. I will have to ponder for awhile! Beautiful homes too!!
ReplyDeleteHugs~
I can just imagine that and I am laughing so hard.
ReplyDeleteI went to the bathroom once and had a stream of toilet paper out the back of my pants - must have been part of the paper I lined the seats with.
Someone had to tell me as I was walking though Macy's.

Those homes are beautiful! Lovely area there. I guess my embarrassing moment was when I missed my cue for a school program when I was a kid. Everyone was staring at me too! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the homes and the chuckle. You are so dear to tell that story on yourself. Let me think of one to share, I have quite a few, I admit.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly know how to show off your......stately homes. My goodness they are lovely and an interesting prop for your Skirty Story! I guess it could have been worse, Marydon...you could have left a paper trail.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, this SmartMouthed Texan can not think of a single embarssing MOMENT...all mine last for days!
Trust me....my embarrassing moments I could not fit into the comment box. Yep, there are that many of them. Yours isn't so bad. When things like that happen, I always say to myself, "100 years from now it'll make no difference".
ReplyDeleteLove the old homes tour.
Oh Marydon - we share the same 'cataclysmic' event only mine happened walking down the hallway at work coming back from the restroom. Not the way to walk into the boardroom; thank goodness for a very brave secretary who flagged me down just as I was going to walk into the BOD meeting.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
Hugs - Marie
I am enjoying the beautiful homes. Would love to see inside.
ReplyDeleteI have known a similar experience, and some more embarrassing!
Love your story my friend.Thank you for this today...plus the homes are amazing. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all those beautiful; homes. All of them so stately. Your little embarrassment is understandable. My mother always told us to put toilet paper on the potty seat before we used it when out somewhere. I still do that today, if there are no seat covers available. Several times to my embarrassment, I come out with the toilet paper hanging out from my pants in the back. I try now to check it out before leaving the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Marydon~
ReplyDeleteI am catching up on my Blog visiting since I am still stuck indoors recovering from this nasty pneumonia. I am on the mend though. I have missed you!
My most embarrassing moment came last week when I was at the doctor. Right in the middle of him listening to my chest, I had one of my coughing fits and I tooted! I started laughing and then couldn't stop! How's that for embarrassing! *giggle*
Love,
LuLu♥
Beautiful homes, and I am sure that the view from the Congressman's chair was just as lovely. That's very funny, I am blushing for you.
ReplyDeleteMine, striding into the bank to get my very first mortgage, long, very full, very black skirt, and high heels, head up, confident.
Click, click, swoosh.....my very white slip let go of it's elastic. And puddles down among my feet, a great big huge white poof of a marshmallow. So, unperturbed, I just bundled it up and returned it to the car. And went back through the stares to my appointment.
Funny, yes, but now every time I renew my mortgage, I wear pants.
Jen
The homes are fabulous. Just amazing. I love love old homes with architecture like this. I have always wanted to own a home like these. Funny funny funny embarrassing moment. Thankfully I have nothing dramatic like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the laugh, Marydon. Just what I needed this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteA person can't help but fall in luv with those houses.
donna
Ohhhhhhh gracious! What a funny, funny story!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I do remember those days of being young enough and tiny enough, to wear micro minis. I was even more proud of this, being the mother of 3 growing children. ,-)
At 5'3" and 102 pounds, I could pull it off. -grin-
And a particularly weird memory, also has to do with micro-mini's. A group of us young moms & dads used to go to dinner/dances put on by Rotary and Lions Clubs. Simple, hometown kind of things. And I had great fun getting myself all *gussied up,* once a year.
ReplyDeleteOne year, I had a form fitting black lace [short!] dress and I really felt amazing. I remember singing the Irish tune "Tied Up With A Black Velvet Band" [her hair was], while getting ready.
Fun evening until I went to the ladies room and some *Old Fart* made sure I heard him say, while walking by me; "Go home and put some clothes on." !!!!!!!!! I was young and sweet and just kept walking to ladies room and kind of shed a tear.
I can't believe I was ever so young and sweet, as to have taken that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have turned, stopped him in his tracks, and demanded an apology!
And today, I would.
But today, I can't wear such.
-giggggles-
Marydon,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous homes!!
And somehow I just knew you were going to say that something was showing that should not have been!!! LOL!!
Mine was jumping into my best freind's swimming pool, not quite clearing the edge, getting the bottom of my pants of my two piece bathing suit caught in the edge of the pool and ripping a nice flap in them. The poll was filled with 3 of her brothers!!
Had to back up and out and my friend had to wrap a towel around me on the deck!!! I was 17 years old!!
Hope you get a good laugh out of that one!!
Debbie
You were brave to share that story, but it made me chuckle. I guess we've all had moments like that when our clothing betrayed us!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful homes in the photos.
Marydon thanks for sharing your terribly funny story with us. As you know I would take up three pages to tell you one of mine. I hate to admit it is almost a weekly think with me. Showing up to work with my pink pj top on over my uniform is right at the top.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping me informed about Sherry. She wrote me a comment the other day. poor thing!
Love these homes and not sure which is my favorite. Maybe I will get lucky and move into one of these real soon. lol
Love
Maggie
Yep. That would be embarrassing! I think we always think more of our embarrassing moments than other people do. I am sure they quickly forget and they live on in horror in our minds!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful old homes. I wish we could see the insides too, I always think that about old houses!
I can't even share my most embarrassing story, but yours is hilarious! It happened to my friend too...as she was walking through a fancy schmancy restaurant in Seattle... YIKES!
ReplyDeleteSeveral months ago a girlie shared a story about going antique-ing with her sister and some malted milk balls......I laughed until I hurt....I wish I could remember who wrote it. You know the drift....melted chocolate? Yellow sweat pants?? Oh NO!
Huggies,
S
You're not alone,sorry about your mishap story.LOL. I guess we all do it. Love the houses, wish one is yours.LOL. Have a good Friday. Nancy
ReplyDeleteMarydon, you are so funny! How can you tell a story like that and still be so cute and elegant. And brave! I'll have to give some good thought to which memory to share.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of those houses. I see you left out the "Frankenstein house" on the corner -- that's what my kids call it. I say, it needs your touch! ;)
Not a problem!! I will never ever forget it. I was sixteen years old and at the beach being pulled along on a raft by my boyfriend. (I don't swim)
ReplyDeleteSuddenly a huge wave came over us and tumbled us. What is called a rogue wave. When I finally got my footing and was able to stand up, from a distance I heard my boyfriend screaming and pointing to me and noticed everyone nearby was staring. My bathing suit was down to my waist. In the cold I hadn't even felt it. The little strap around my neck had been yanked loose...
Still not over that one!!!
Okay - I am laughing!!!!!!!!!!! This is toooooo funny!!!
ReplyDeleteMy most embarrassing moment was actually this past winter... all I will say is: static cling, racy undies and fleece jackets are not a good combo.
Oh my.... now I'm blushing again...
LOLOL
