Fushia Flower Power....

I know...

it's a little out of season...

but I love the color.

Thanksgiving was a blast.

I enjoyed the conversations...

the food...

the colors...

the lights....

the parades...

the football even...

But I need just a breath of spring...

I am full bore...

working all day each day on

Christmas Gifts.

I love to do it.

Most years I simply do not have the time.

This year,

I have much more time than money....

so when I thought of writing today..

all I could think about was

SUNSHINE

and

LOLLIPOPS

and

RAINBOWS

(is that Dobie Gillis?)

So this is the image for me today...

Hmmmm.

I think I'll sing just a bit now...

smiles.

Opps....
I'm sorry...

I didn't mean to leave you out....

"Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,



Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,


Brighter than a lucky penny,


When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,.....

And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.

Where did Samantha find the time?

Good Golly Miss Molly....

Do you remember how cool Samantha Stephens was....

Man.....that girl could cook,

clean,

organize,

re-arrange furniture,

garden,

drive,

care for Tabitha,

and handle

that crazy husband of her's, Darin,

all with a twitch of her nose....

GIRL!

that is what I want to be able to do!

Conjure up a fabulous

house,

dinner,

outfit,

well....

life!

With just a twitch.....

And then I too

would have the time to play

"Solitaire"....

Yeah right!

Nope not me...

if I could do all that...

Darin would have been history...

and the Fab Four,

the Monkees,

AND

the Beach Boys

would be living

at my house.

Who needs a twitch?

All I need is my imagination.

smiles.

Ahhhhhh......

There are an abundance of "how hot is it?" jokes

swarming like bees....

Impossibly hot....

Predictably hot....

Sweltring...

Muggy....

Meltingly....

Opressively....

HOT!!!

It's OK though..

we have A/C.....

I grew up in this town without it.

I don't know how I would cope now,

but in the sixties,

it got just as hot,

and all we had was fans...

That is what drew me to

The Impossible Cool

and I was richly rewarded....

Beautiful B/W portraits

of the most gorgeous

movie stars and starlets

of the 60's....

now is that cool

or what?
