(Click on the Planner to enlarge)
You'll want to know when the Winner will be announced.

I'm so looking forward to Ya'll coming to my Birthday Party!
You see, My January Birthday Parties haven't always been well attended.
Some years, it Rained Cats and Dogs, and some years it Snowed Flakes BiggernDallas. But no matter the weather,
I could always count on my Sibs and Cousins as Birthday Cake eaters.

Look at my Cousin Stella with her mouth open and ready for my 5th Birthday Cake.

There's another GRIT in her 'Cloth Diaper Panties'...that'd be my Sister Sonja.
Then there's my One Year Younger Brother thinking, "Let's cut this cake, NOW"!

The other Little Girl is my Cousin Frona from California...she came a long way for my party. Course, I had no clue where California was when I was Five....it could have been around the Corner from our house in Monahans, Texas in 1952.


Just this one more Birthday Picture from 1952, then you can 'Click and SignUp'.
My OneYear Younger Brother, Tommy, had his Fourth Birthday Party in March.
He was kind of a 'Squirt' and a 'Rock Throwin Pest', and I bossed him like nobodys business. Still do!


PS...Is this 'Plate' The Best 'Thrift Store Find' EEEvvver? The Winner will be announced on Pink Saturday January 23rd...just in case you didn't see it on the 'Planner'.

The Planner for 2010...Plannin On Pink Saturday...ForSure!

Have you noticed how the New Year Calendars begin to hit the market places earlier every year? It's not like the year doesn't 'FlyBy' quick enough these days that we need to hurry up and wait for the next one. I usually get a 'Refill' calendar for the 'Planner' Thingy I carry in my purse.

You know the one you vow to keep track of those important dates for the whole year, and around May or June you find it in the bottom of your purse with the last entry made on January 15th, and because it's been lost there in the deepest, darkest and dirtiest Secret compartment of your bag, the pages are stuck together, crumbled on the edges and filled with crumbs of who knows what.

That's why I don't 'Resolute' about calendars anymore!

So rather than look forward this January, I thought I'd take a look back at a few January's of Yesteryear.

Last month I began to notice Calendars in the Yesteryear Places...that'd be Antique, Thrift and Flea Markets.

Here's one of my favorites, so let's go back to January 1951.

Yep, that's this GRIT and my Dad...without his Stetson.

Probably not January, but definately in West Texas beside Dad's Pink Nash Rambler.  Aren't those Boots a Hoot? You can bet they were Tony Lamas and bought in El Paso, Texas.

 

Girls Raised in Texas in 1951 absolutely DID NOT run around in their Panties! What was my Mama, thinkin?

Since she wasn't a girl raised in Texas, but Iowa, she didn't yet know that was a 'Texas NoNo'.

Either that or I decided it was too hot for clothes and stripped right there in the front yard.

 

Major Events of 195l...

~CBS introduces Color Television with first show hosted by Ed Sullivan and Arthur Godfrey.

~Congress passes amendment to the Constitution limiting Presidents to Two Terms.

~First 'General Purpose Computer' was dedicated at the Census Bureau in Philadelphia.

Well, Ya'll a few changes have occured in the Last 59 Years!

Here I sit with my 'General Purpose Computer' with a screen bigger than the 195l RCA TV and in Amazing Color. Thank-you 2009 Santa! I love Windows 7, Diet Coke, Baby Bubba, Blogging and 'Pink Saturday'.
