Fall Fashion!
I thought you might be interested in some fall fashion...
...from 1953!
These pictures are from a McCall's from September, 1953.
Not too different from today's looks except for the hats and gloves.
These shoe adds were in the same magazine.
These look like today's shoes, too.
Can you believe the price? The magazine was only 25 cents!

A day at Grandma's
Hi! This is Jerzie and I am taking over Grandma's blog today. I'm going to show you some of the things I do when I spend the day with Grandma.
We spend a lot of time reading and playing together.
This is what I do when Grandma is on the computer checking out your blogs and downloading all the pictures she takes of me!.
Today I even helped Grandma wash her windows!







I made a video for you today to show you the "easiest" way to get in and out of a rocking chair. I hope you like it!

BEWARE!!!
This is not my ordinary post! My son and his wife are having their annual Halloween party tonight. They work hard at decorating so I thought I would show you some of their decorations.
First their pumpkins.
This is Jerzie's. She got to pick out which eyes, ears and mouth she wanted. I'd never seen these and thought they were a real cute idea. She picked everything dog except for the ears, which are cat. Her real dog does have pointy ears, tho.
These are Kim and Tabatha's. We used to all get together and carve fancy pumpkins like these every year. Now that I work nights we can't seem to get together.
I must warn you that these images are not for the weak of heart or stomach!
Enter at your own risk! The cutie on the left is Tabatha's. There will be no more cute!
The doorman.
Whoever did this left the bloody baseball bat behind.
Glowing eyes.
Would you like a beer? Yes, I know it's a pepsi machine but it dispenses beer.
No wonder there are so many webs. That's a snake in the skeleton's mouth.

Show and Tell



The 2 irons that hang are early electric irons. They don't have a thermostat so they aren't much better that the ones that had to be heated.

Thanks Kelli for hosting Show and Tell Friday! Go the Kelli's House to see a list of every involved.

The Box!
I don't want to make you wait any longer to see what's in this box!
If you look real close you can see these darling snowmen on top. They were a little pricey but everything was 30% off so I got my 2 favorites.
I stopped at another sale on my way home and found a box in the basement that wasn't marked. I got all these for a buck!
Okay, back to The Box!



I saw these wonderful pastel dishes at the sale and just couldn't stop thinking about them. They were pink, blue, yellow and green (almost teal). After much thought (and an okay from my daughter) I decided I could put my Mom's china away and buy the pastel dishes if they were still there, more than 24 hours later. We are a very sentimental family and I didn't want to upset anyone. Mom's china is safely packed away. I would never get rid of it.
I didn't get off work until after 2 so I ran to the sale. Jane, who runs the sale, was outside when I got there and told me the dishes had gone about 15 minutes earlier. I figured I might as well go in and look around again anyway. Well, the pink dishes had been sold but the blue, yellow and green ones were still there.

I bought the yellow and green ones which were my favorites anyway!
