PORTRAIT OF MY ANCESTOR

When we hear the daily news, it doesn't always make us happy, does it?

So, today we hope to bring you some happy news: I found this old photo of one of my ancestors, up in the attic.....

She was clearly way ahead of her time and very daring in her day!

Now, didn't this bit of news make you happier?

HAIRCUTS, today and in 1964

I just gave another haircut to my husband. He is so used to having me do that, and I have been cutting his hair for many, many years.

Well, when our kids were little, my husband cut the kids' hair, and he even gave his Dad an occasional haircut!

I have always loved his hair, and first saw 'those waves' when he was still in highschool. But it's a good thing that his hair is somewhat curly, as my 'mistakes' as an amateur barber are not as noticeable!

Sweet Peas

Today the first of our sweet peas were ready to pose for a picture! They have always been one of my favorite flowers and I love the sweet fragrance! The reason for the happy result? NO BUNNIES in this neighborhood! We have lived here four years and we have never, ever, seen any rabbits!

I will hopefully post some more colors in a few days!

BRING ON THE HOT DOGS!!

Well, since our house is still on the market, I might as well do some 'crafty stuff ', to keep my mind off the cobwebs gathering on the windows. (I have some very persistent spiders, and each day I am out there with a broom, to remove them. The following morning the web is there, as perfectly made as before! Now that is teaching me a lot about patience.....)

So, another fun project finished, and more to follow.........................

Stay tuned!

ENTERTAINMENT CENTER in 1961

Remember the old radio-recordplayer? We would have to take off all the 'knick-knacks' so that we could open the lid, and then play our 78's and LP's. Here I am, ready to play a newly purchased record!
And then there was the small, black and white TV. It was pretty special to finally have our very own set! But we didn't know that decades later they would 'invent' the remote control!
Ignorance is bliss, and life was good in 1961!
