Glory!

With this ultra-hot summer, most of my flowers did not do too well.  There was one exception: morning glories. First time I've planted them.  

The vines went nuts.

But only recently have there been blooms.  My neighbor asked, "When are you going to turn on the morning glories?"  Well, they are finally "on!"

Enjoy!

Wacky Answer

You're probably not alone if you don't remember Bozo gumballs; they haven't been around since the 70s. That was yesterday's (9-5-12) Wacky Pack, although I pretty much gave it away with the Bozo tag the day before.  I vaguely remember Bozo gumballs, but never liking gumballs, never bought any.  Did you?

From Soup to Nuts

Have you seen these? 

Campbell's tomato soup with Andy Warhol labels.  Too cool.  So is it me or do companies not have promos like this anymore?  How nice to liven up an ordinary item.  Makes life a bit more interesting.

And for the "nuts" part of this post: do you live near a walnut tree?  No?  Consider yourself lucky!

Enjoy and have you had your 15 minutes of fame?  I'm still waiting for mine!

Wacky Pack Wednesday

Considering yesterday's post, here is a very timely Wacky Pack.

Might be a test for your memory!

Enjoy!

TT/Circus

"Circus" is the last "fun" theme in the recent series at Tag Tuesday.  For those of you not raised in Chicago, you might not appreciate this tag, but if you were, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. "Bozo's Circus" was THE kids' TV show of the 60s and 70s.  Studio audience tickets were sold out years in advance.  My sister once went with neighbors-- I never did.  Boo hoo.  Anyway, it was on TV forever, and everybody watched.  So here is my circus tag, featuring Bozo himself, Mr. Bob Bell.

As a footnote, Dan Castelleneta, of "The Simpsons" fame, has said he used Bob Bell's Bozo as inspiration for his Krusty the Clown voice.

Enjoy!

P.S. If you're wondering about the clown doll, see my very first post.

Labor Day 2012

Since Labor Day means the end of summer, here is a very autumn looking postcard.

The back is inscribed: "To Walter from Esther 1912."  Wow-- 100 years ago!

Enjoy your holiday!
