A FEW THANKSGIVING CHUCKLES

 

I hope nobody minds, but I had two different ideas for this weekend’s post and couldn’t decide which one to use, so I've posted them both. :[]





Filmore’s unfortunate birth defect.

    Very funny! And so true, too. I liked the first one best for its authentic history.

    Thanks for the laughs. I also liked the first one best, although the candlelight vigil was good, too.

THE CHARMING VILLAGE OF CLOVELLY in DEVON, ENGLAND

Image
  Clovelly (pronounced Clove-ily as in happily or merrily) Harbor. The light-colored building on the left is the Red Lion Hotel.   Clovelly is an historic, car-free village nestled on a cliff known for its cobbled traffic-free streets and working port. Visitors can park their vehicles at the visitor center up top and either walk down or take a Land Rover service, which operates from Easter to October, to the harbor for a small charge. The Land Rover service is a convenient way to get around the village, especially for those with mobility issues or who prefer not to walk the steep streets. Donkeys traditionally carried goods up the hill (they no longer do, but are stabled nearby for visitors to visit with), while sledges bring things down, which is a unique feature of Clovelly.’   The village itself is best explored on foot on a cobbled street leading down to the harbor with a few narrow dead-end side streets.  There are 83 houses in Clovelly and all of them...

WHAT WE WORE FOR SWIMMING

Image
  My husband’s relatives.  On the left is his grandmother, Daisy May Elizabeth Young.  I think that’s her sister next to her.  Not sure who the third gal is? The three gals having fun My Mom, Lillian Adelle Whitney, in 1925 when she was 7 years old.  Ah, those good old itchy wool bathing suits. Here she is a few years later – still in a wool bathing suit but looking a little different in it! J Here she’s pictured in a different bathing suit of a kind of heavy sateen fabric in a printed leaf design with L-R: my Aunt Frances, my Grandma B. Harriet (Hattie) Bell Smedley Bradley, and my Granddad B. Frank Herbert Bradley in 1941.  Nine years later I was wearing my Mom's suit.   Maybe you remember it from this picture which I used in a post not that long ago.  :[]  It looked a little different on 10-year old me. Anyway, back to my Mom – this time in a green & white striped cotton bathing suit.  I’m not sure why, but as a little girl, I lov...

CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS CARDS

Image
CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS CARDS This is kind of long so you might want to pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea or eggnog before you start?  Maybe add a biscuit or two, or perhaps a slice of my Grandma Louise’s fruitcake? I’ve been known to choose lovely Christmas cards to send out to family & friends such as this cheerful neighborhood scene. Or this snowy one in the town of Groveland, California where we lived for 28 years. We had visited friends in Alaska the year we sent this card out. This was the card we sent for Christmas the year we met “Ella”, the little pigeon who suddenly flew into our lives.  I couldn’t have found a more perfect card. J And this one went out the year my Dad passed away shortly before Christmas.  It just seemed so right. Mostly, though, I like cards with a bit of humor.  This was the first card we sent out after my husband and I were married.  I forget how many I had to make with the combined list of his family & friends and mine,...
