This week my post is a kind of loose connection to the prompt pic’ in that where an Army nurse is, there is probably some kind of a conflict going on.

WHEN AN IMMOVABLE OBJECT MEETS AN IRRISISTIBLE FORCE

Susie & Calvin

Whatever this argument is about, it’s a hot one!

Gossip columnists at odds: Louella ‘Carsons’ & Hedda ‘Hatter’.

The silent argument.

The not so silent argument.

Sports, of course, provide a wide array of immovable objects vs irresistible forces . . .    

in football . . .

baseball . . .

basketball . . .

ice hockey . . .

tennis . . .

old fashioned jousting . . .

new fashioned jousting . . .

golf club jousting . . .

 turkey jousting . . . this is where people riding bicycles try to whap each other with (dead, thank goodness) turkeys in bags.

And speaking of turkeys & irresistible forces (no immovable objects here!) we can’t forget the great “Cheers” Thanksgiving food fight of 1986.

      Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I've had it on 'hold' for a while waiting for a chance to use it & when the prompt pic' came up so late I just hoped I could link it somehow. It's a pretty loose link, but I think it works.

    Geese, now I'll have to go back and find that Cheers episode. Must have been when I didn't watch it! Glad to see you back here again!

    That one was about to be a deadly argument as she levels the gun at him across the table. Fighting on bikes with dead turkeys in bags? That is weird.s Wonder who thought that up and how long it went on and where.

    A good theme for 2023 since there is no shortage of arguments in the world today. I wish they all could be settled with dead turkey bicycle jousting!

    Quite an assortment of battles!

THE ANCESTOR HAT PARADE

Image
  My husband’s ancestors:  His Grandmother Daisy May Elizabeth Young, her husband (or husband-to-be?), Fred Latham Perlee, and her sister whose name we don’t know.  Fred is wearing a rather frumpy-looking straw hat, and the girls are sporting quite the elaborate chapeaux. Daisy in the center with Fred on her left.  Don’t know who is on her right?  The fellows in bowlers, and Daisy in a simple flatish hat.  No idea why they’re all carrying flowers? My husband’s maternal grandmother, Lillian Ross Pringle Brasier on the left on her wedding day in 1909 with one of her older sisters.  Lillian was dressed in a suit, ready to depart with her new husband on their honeymoon. A hat and frilly bonnets for all three: Lillian Ross, c.1914, with her two daughters Phyllis, and Virginia Rossmore Braiser – my husband’s mother. Lillian Ross Pringle Braiser c. 1925 in a cloche hat. More cloche hats:  Lillian Ross and daughter, Virginia, c.1926-27. And now on to my ...

WORKING ON BUILDING THINGS

Image
  My Dad built himself and my Mom Adirondack chairs, then created his own pattern to build a little one for me.  They were painted yellow – my favorite color.  I loved my little chair.  I wonder if that’s why yellow is my favorite color? J Some years later Dad & my brother built a roof over the terrace in our back yard. The terrace roof completed created a great place to gather in the summer – to play ping-pong or just sit around.  The ping-pong table was collapsible & easy to store off to the side when not in use. I designed & my husband built this front entry deck for our house in Groveland.  It was a tricky design because there is a stairway leading down from the front door to the garage behind the railing behind the bench, so we came out the front door and either went down the stairs to the garage, or came forward out onto the deck.  They don’t show here, but we had flowerboxes behind the railing where the candy-canes are crossed....

WORKING ON CREATING THINGS

Image
  My Grandma Louise’s Singer sewing machine.  My Mom taught me to sew on this machine when I was around 13 years old and from then on – more when I was older – I made many of my own clothes. I made big-skirted dresses in the mid-to-late ‘50s, and short sheath dresses in the ‘60s along with Bermuda shorts and peddle-pushers and two-piece sets to match. By then my Mom had a new machine, and not long after I bought my own machine.  When I was married I continued to make some of my own clothes as well as clothing for my children.  I also made most of my costumes when I was active in the Golden Chain Theatre.  This gown of satin taffeta for dancing the Can-Can was one of the hardest things I’ve ever made.  Part of the bodice was cut diagonally on striped material, the skirt with its variegated gores lined with rows & rows of white ruffles underneath was a bear to put together! The gowns were beautiful, but heavy as the dickens!  In fact, because of ...
