OH man! This made me laugh out loud. You are so funny! You crack me up! How do you think of these things? My redneck upbringing doesn't allow my brain to think this hard. And you grew up in the same area as me so you got around it somehow... Love ya! :) Cuz
I have no idea how I think up this stuff. Believe me, I have to rack my brains sometimes. But this one was a no-brainer! That is Great Grandma Cook, Grampa Buck Cook's mom. I mean, look at the two of us!! It's just self-explanatory and sooo funny!
Miss Pink I am so pleased you visited today, your DNA! sure looks the same as great grandma's lol lol :) very funny......but O! so true I hve the same here my mum and I look very much the same, my husbnd some times calls me nathalie just to get me going.
Yes we have lettuce and it is spelt Brisbane :) What we do not do is have our salad first before the main meal we eat it all on the same plate lol lol! we do have coz lettuce and all the mothers....what a dream you had, if you sneeked in a lettuce you would probably end up in jail lol lol lol I don't think they would serve lettuce there.
Omigosh, I loved this!! Honestly, I'm not laughing AT you but WITH you! hehe It really is uncanny how much you look like your great grandma though! lol As for the younger picture of you, what a beauty...I look at young pictures of me at times and always wonder where she went! Age and weight seem to change things! lol You know what though? You are beautiful inside and out...honest:-) xox
There is an old saying: there are no ugly babies and no ugly quilts. I'd like to add to that falsehood by saying I think there are no ugly china patterns, teapots, aprons or vintage fabrics. I love all those old things, even when they are less than palatable to the 'modern' eye.
We seem to put such a priority on teaching our girl children to be competitive, strong, and really good soccer players. I think this is wonderful, but I wish we spent just as much time passing down the things of our Mother's and Grandmothers: Needlework, Baking, the feeling of satisfaction from something as simple as seeing a line of sheets hanging taut on the clothesline, snapping in the breeze, and the joy of creating something--anything--from scratch.
In this new world we have tossed off anything we wore last season, drove last year, or sat on for the last 4 years. Everything has to be new and more expensive than the one before.
Along with all this greedy desire to consume and to always have what's new and in fashion, we seem to have tossed out those old things like Manners, Femininity and Housewifely Pursuits. Sew on a button or just throw the shirt away? Mend a torn hem or just toss out the skirt?
Miss Pink Ponsonby shakes her head at all this shallow consumption, dons her apron, tidies her doilies and serves tea in vintage cups with homemade goodies on antique plates.
