7/31/13

Thus Melanie came to the distinct conclusion that since the first of her fellow siblings' entrances into the world, she had not been able to enjoy even one peaceful holiday occasion...
J.J. had at last scored a date for the Knuckleberry High Homecoming Dance, but was now pressed to shoehorn Bethany into her formal, yet allow enough time for the ether to wear off...
Ricky Richochet had struck terror in many a western community, but somehow the jaunty neckerchiefs he chose to wear helped to salve the fearsomeness a bit.
Jonelle and Clara Lynn barely got their cakes out of the truck before they were devoured by the chickens, though Henny did nibble part of the edge off of Jonelle's Angel Delight.  Henny was now left to perch in fear as Jonelle considered whether to use corn meal or flour breading on her for supper.
Leila had so much trouble pinning her busy newscaster husband Gerald down for a portrait she finally had to resort to dolling up and having her picture snapped during the 5:30pm KHON Evening News.
As the day wore on and both the thermometer's and Carol Beth's mercury began to rise, she couldn't help but wonder why Mr. Festerman got to snap pictures of her restocking the Folger's coffee display instead of letting her do the honors while he took on some of the grunt work.

Just discovered this second blog of yours.

I love vintage photographs of simple everyday life. There's something fascinating about them.

Don't know if they are all part of your family collection or compiled from a variety of sources...but will return here to view them regularly.

The captions are also fun to read. And makes me think this could be a great party game! Show a picture and everyone comes up with their own caption.

I have a small family! I know none of the people in these pictures, but enjoy making up alternate realities for what they are doing. The most benign activity can be twisted by my sick mind into something offbeat and hilarious. ;-P

After scanning through some of the older postings, I quickly realized that there was no way these could have all come from one family. Although, if they were, what an amazing family that would have been!
