Dolls Are Scary

Wouldn't want to wake up with that next to my bed.

Hey, I'm The Biggest...

How come I don't get a scooter or a trike?

Hi ya Honey!
Gosh, you should be here to help tear this 'ol place apart.
How 'bout a letter soon? OK.

Honey Chile.

To learn a bit about Olsen and Johnson.

Saturday In The Park

Carting that wind-up Victrola off the park had to be a bit of a chore. I guess they really liked music with their wine and cheese.

I know they weren't listening to Chicago's "Saturday In The Park", but perhaps to
the Hotel Bossert Orchestra doing In The Park in Paree.

It's All About Attitude

Even during the depression.

Lousy, OK, and Great

Sometimes its great to be a kid, sometimes ok, and sometimes lousy. They either live in the small house behind them or it's a dog house with a chimney or a smoke house - I'll go with that latter.

Happy New Year

Here's hoping they had a good one - and you will have a good one.

What do you thinks of this.

From Chas.M To Mrs. Chas M.
Returning home soon I suspect.

Until The Shooting Starts

War is glorious until the shooting starts.

Johnny We Hadly Knew Ya

While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While goin' the road to sweet Athy, hurroo, hurroo
While goin' the road to sweet Athy
A stick in the hand and a drop in the eye
A doleful damsel I heard cry,
Johnny I hardly knew ye.

With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns, hurroo, hurroo
With your guns and drums and drums and guns
The enemy nearly slew ye
Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer
Johnny I hardly knew ye.

Where are your eyes that were so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your eyes that were so mild, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your eyes that were so mild
When my heart you so beguiled?
Why did ye skedaddle from me and the child?
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run
When you went for to carry a gun
To be sure but your dancing days are done
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg, hurroo, hurroo
Ye haven't an arm, ye haven't a leg,
Ye're an armless, boneless, chickenless egg,
Ye'll have to be put with a bowl to beg,
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.

I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see ye home, hurroo, hurroo
I'm happy for to see ye home
All from the island of Ceylon
So low in flesh, so high in bone
Oh Johnny I hardly knew ye.

They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again,
But they never will take our sons again,
No they never will take our sons again,
Johnny I'm swearing to ye.

Unemployment

The Card
circa 1909

The Other Side Of The Card

No, I am not working yet. Are you? Many happy returns, Your friend, Myrtle C.

Could this be an indication of a 100 year unemployment cycle?
The solution may lie in Working for the PWA (and we are being told it's coming).

Happy Holidays

And to all a good night...and day and next year.
