I'd heard of bloomers, but I think I think of them in the modern day sense - as underwear, not a sort of pants. It was fun to research.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-48863110978655238442011-11-14T20:05:09.686-06:002011-11-14T20:05:09.686-06:00Fantastic information.

She has one about a young woman who wears bloomers, rides a bicyle, and runs an oil field for her father. The hero...God bless him...doesn't even blink an eye at her bloomers. He's too buy looking into her eyes.

Go figure. At least it was California where it never got that freezy.
