I Loved Loretta Young Too

-
I wonder if I could get by with a picture of her
as my profile picture?
I did not realize I had word verification on my blog....I did not ask for it. As I have not had problems with robots and with a little help from my friends, I think I have removed it. Please advise, if not.

Oh, that reminded me of my grandson who did have a robot problem. We were talking about how he wasn't afraid of anything. He said, "Yeah, huh Nana - wobots." All the grandchildren said "Yeah huh" from time to time.

As an apology, I present....Loretta Young. Don't you agree she was lovely?

    This word verification thing is terrible now; I can't make out the letters to write a word! I hope enough people complain so they'll change it back. Why do we even need verification anyway?

    Thank you for removing the word verification! One word was bad enough, but two words was awful, especially as they were very difficult to see!
    I loved Loretta Young too - what an elegant and gracious beauty she was.

    I remember black and white reruns of her Loretta's TV show as she swept into the room in her long flowing gowns. :)

    I remember watching The Loretta Young Show on TV as a child. You know what I miss (your posts have sure brought back some memories for me!) I miss my paperdolls! I had wonderful paperdolls of so many of those old stars when I was a child, and they are all gone. I think sometimes I am going to go on ebay and find some to buy to replace them!

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. Yep, those saguaros sometimes do look like they are holding their arms up in a robbery! I plan to do a post of different saguaros some time soon. They are fun.

    You are right about the changes in attitudes about pregnancy (and delivery!) Now you might see a bare belly peeking out under a too-small T-shirt. No one cares about hiding it anymore.

Happy Birthday Baby Sister

Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o

A Beautiful Day

My brother in law gave this to me for my birthday. We share a love of birds and flowers. He is in the nursing home - slowly recovering from a stroke. He probably needs this more than I do now. Maybe Freda should take it to him. Wouldn't he just love to be sitting out here on this gorgeous day? Arkansas is beautiful.

A Salmon Pink and Grey Car?

This looks like a picture of my Mama's brother Bob. It may be her Uncle Glenn. I'm not sure who the girl is. I do not remember Mama saying she rode on a motorcycle with her brother but she did say she loved riding on her Uncle Glenn's motorcycle. Shortly before she passed away, she asked my husband to take her for a ride on his bike. She chickened out after we got there.  This picture of me and my OKC Grandma was taken at Lake Ludwig. I look like a little monkey up there. I wonder whose DeSoto that was? This is an Easter picture of us in front of an old salmon pink and grey Chevrolet car. This is the car my uncle would slide down into the floorboard in fear someone would see him in a pink car. SAID UNCLE This is not my "three words the whole bus ride to OKC Uncle." This is the one that took me to the movies one time. Although he did not actually stay in the theater with me, he did come back to pick me up. The movie was not quite
