Nature and Feline Friday Flashbacks

 

Our hosts for Nature Friday  LLB Gang   

Photo taken on January 16....OMCs/OMDs our daffodils buds are about to open.  Years ago we had over 200 bulbs planted.

Our Rock Garden receives about 4 hours of sun starting at 11am in the winter.  And I might add out of 200 these are the ones that still flower. All the others just sprout greenery.

Madi shares Secrets for Proper grooming:

1. Always be sure to wash your back thoroughly to control the build up of human cooties.

2. Remember the toes should be clean one at a time and stretch that leg out to tone your thighs

3. Don't forget to wash both sides of your face, behind your ears and
Remember to clean the corners of your eyes.


4. When cleaning your chin remember to hold your head back to stretch the neck
muscles otherwise you'll be doing 'double duty'. (MOL)

5. Most importantly get lots of beauty sleep in spite of the
horrid flashy beast.

Thanks for dropping by.

A true story:

1967 I was a senior in high school

To quote Rizzo from the Pink Ladies in Grease 

We are seniors and we are gonna rule the school.

Prom Committee, our advisor was my all time favorite teacher

Miss Kilby, Home Economics and my homeroom teacher.

She needed volunteers...of course I raised my hand.

A bit too quickly it seems, she wanted at least two sets of parents to volunteer for Prom Chaperones.  

WHAT the heck my parents were going to my

PROM!!! So not cool.

The Parent volunteers were all teens in the late 1930's the only activities

were dancing. This prom went on record as the best prom in 5 years.

The chaperones turned into dance teachers.

They taught us all how to Jitterbug we taught them how to do the Twist. 

Oh do I wish there had been pictures.  The dance floor was hopping.

I was so very THANKFUL to have such cool, fun parents. I knew they loved to dance but had never actually witnessed such fancy foot work.

Side Note:

My daddy was an electrical contractor.  He volunteered to do all the electrical work for the special prom lights. It looked like a thousand tiny stars overhead.

It was just too COOL

Dear Auntie HiC, 

Mom left the closet door ajar, and I sprang into action! 

I guess I should have thought this through before I made that leap. 

I leaped (leapt if you’re British) from the floor onto the top of the chest of drawers, and somehow, I managed to only knock off a small bowl of coins! 

Before I realized it, I had climbed all the way to the top shelf of the closet! Yikes!

Of course, the noise sent Mom running, and I must admit, I was relieved she rescued me! She said she hoped that I learned a lesson from this incident. What do you think?😹

❤️ Cali   (or as Mom calls me, “Little Stinker”) 

Dearest Cali 

Auntie HiC is clapping with glee and jubilation 

1.  What a great jump

2. Auntie HiC thinks everything you do is delightful and fun

3. I think every girl should leap at every chance she gets.

I think I shall now call you Cali Queen of Calisthenics

Yesterday several of you mentioned that you thought the name 'Sanitary Fish Market (FYI it is also a restaurant)' was rather odd. 
As a child, it was my families favorite Seafood Restaurant.  Here is some info on why it was named Sanitary Fish Market and Restaurant

The Sanitary Fish Market & Restaurant in Morehead City, NC, got its name because founders Tony Seamon and Ted Garner wanted to signal its cleanliness, a contrast to typical messy fish markets, and because the building's owner required they keep it neat and not sell alcohol, ensuring a family-friendly, "sanitary" environment. 

Details of the Name's Origin

• Cleanliness Promise: In 1938, when they opened there were 12 stools.  Most fish markets were considered dirty; Seamon and Garner chose the name to assure customers of their commitment to hygiene and a wholesome atmosphere.
• Building Owner's Rules: The owner of the rented space, Charles Wallace, stipulated that no beer or wine be sold and the premises remain clean, reinforcing the "Sanitary" theme.
• Family-Friendly: The name was a deliberate marketing choice to attract families, distinguishing them from other establishments and projecting compliance with the owner's strict rules.
