Etiquette - Is it Dead?

4/2/2016

I ​often wonder at times if society even knows what the meaning of etiquette truly means. I heard my dad often say, "He was a gentlemen's gentleman." Which really means a valet, but I believe it also means a man who is a true gentleman. I always tell my grandson to be a gentlemen's gentleman, and then explain what I believe it means. My dad always said that Ronald Reagan was that type of man, and I do believe that is true. ​Even though we lived on a farm in northwest Kansas, my Mother was a stickler for etiquette too, I even remember wearing gloves to church as a child.
​I will be adding a little reminder of etiquette taken from Amy Vanderbilt's Etiquette book in each of my posts.  My dear Mother gave me the book many years ago, oh how I wish she had written a message to me in it, with the date she gave it to me. So with this muse . . . . . . . . .
Please look for these little reminders, at the bottom of my posts, in a pink font. I know I post sporadically and on a whim, but I do hope you enjoy this addition.

​1 want to add that some/post of these reminders are going to be comical and so out of touch with reality for today, but that is going to be part of the journey. The first book was written in 1952 and the revisions were made in 1971.

I will be looking forward to those little pink notations. My mother came from the "you can always tell a lady by her hands" background and was indeed a real lady. Even wore kid gloves to dust. My Dad was a "man's man" so they were quite the couple. I wish I could live up to my mother's expectations for me, but as my daughter reminds me, I am not my mother. I was a very blessed daughter and I miss my parents greatly.

I love your comment! I had heard those comments from my parents before also. I wanted to tell you also that my etiquette quips are not pink at the moment, working on it though.
