My, how fashions have changed! Old photo.
7 years ago
I received some photos which were my dad's that were taken during the 1920-40's. I have no idea who these women were or why they were dressed that way. Seems kind of risque for the times. Maybe 1930's judging by the hair style.

Comments (12)Hi all....this plant was a gift from a girl I work with, its as she says a chunk from a plant that is over 50 years old, she planted it and gave it to her mom, but then it got to big so she gave it to me...and I have had it for 4 years and I have sent out many cuttings (if you would like a few cuttings remind me in the spring) and repotted it this past spring. it spends summer on the north side of my house and gets feritilizer a few times over the summer, when its about to freeze in the fall I put it in my garage until its about to freeze in there and then it comes into my house....and then the buds and flowers.... and here is the last update, its in full bloom for christmas..... I tryed to take a picture from under it looking up.... it looks like it has its pettycoat showing....

Comments (13)Here is the "Original Nilla Wafers Banana Pudding." I still have this recipe that I cut from the back of the box of wafers many years ago. NILLA WAFERS ORIGINAL BANANA PUDDING 3/4 c. granulated sugar 1/3 c. all-purpose flour Dash of salt 4 eggs, separated, at room temperature 2 c. milk 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 35 to 45 Nilla Wafers 5 to 6 med. size fully ripe bananas, sliced (reserve 1 banana and 10-12 wafers for garnish*.) Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in top of double boiler. Stir in 4 egg yolks and milk; blend well. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly until thickened. Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Spread small amount on bottom of 1 1/2 quart casserole; cover with layer of Nilla Wafers. Top with layer of sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3 of the custard over bananas. Continue to layer wafers, bananas and custard to make 3 layers each, ending with custard. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spoon on top of pudding, spreading to cover entire surface and sealing well to edges. Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes or until delicately browned. Cool slightly or chill. If you have some kind of new sauce pan you can probably cook the pudding okay, but it will scorch easily. Better to use a double boiler. *I don't do the garnish, and I think the pudding is not complete without the meringue. Instant pudding ... no way! This is a classic dessert and should not be tampered with. Sue...See Moreupdate to my 'old fashioned' post
Comments (7)thank you all for the kind words. It has been less stressful. DD and I attended a baby shower (or Baby Sprinkle the invite said, whatever that means haha), and she had another set of g.parents babysit. Seems out of four sets of grandparents for these boys, two are very lenient, let'em run wild types, and my ex and his SO are a little more like me and DH. I so agree with socks and Marilyn... children need rules, it does make them feel safe. She is going back to her friends tomorrow, which will give us a break, what with the heart cath and whatever else in store for DH next week. As Georgysmom says, she will one of these days realize that discipline (which is different from harsh punishment) and rules will make HER life easier. I am hoping I can initiate some small things, like bedtime rituals, and meal times where the family sits together, and then maybe the children will come to expect that. Sorry, I tend to ramble. Just wanted to thank you all. I so appreciate all the caring people here at KT....See More
7 years agoHere's something else that has changed. Part of my dad's legacy of photographs is this one he took at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. Look how fit and trim everyone looks. Imagine today's version . . .
