The late 1960's, or 1965 through the 1970's, to me were some of the ugliest years. The styles, colors, furniture...of course, at the time I liked them. For example, me, in my clown dress with my ultra teased hairdo. The green drapes and stylish gold, brown, and green swivel rocking chair. 1967...
It took work to keep this hair style. I slept in those large brush rollers every night so I could look like this every day! :)
Some of you know Lynn, from amothersjournal.com. No doubt, she was watching "Romper Room" or "Captain Kangaroo". Lynn would jump up, put her hand over her heart and say the "Pledge of Allegiance" with Miss Sally on "Romper Room"...
Andee was two years old and way too busy being cute to be quiet and watch Romper Room...
Gosh, remember when telephones were placed by a comfortable chair. You had no choice but to sit down a minute, if someone called. Now phones are actually attached to folks heads so they can talk nonstop! Give me the old days!
Here Andee was taking notes. I can't believe I let her sit on the back of the couch with a pen in her hand...
As much as I loved the 1950's, these were the most special years. I would love to have my little girls back and do this all over.
Yesterday, I worked on the back yard again. The first day I worked five straight hours. The next day four. Thursday two and yesterday I struggled to make it one full hour. Tugging and pulling on limbs the size of small trees is tiring! Sure makes crawling into bed at night a pleasure.
Thank you!
Love,
Henny Penny
