Mazel Tov! How wonderful!
That quote by Marilyn Monroe is a bit haunting. Too bad we cannot see ourselves as other see us.
Wasn’t it Joe DiMaggio that left flowers by her grave for decades?
On the picture “waiting for an answer” the question is bugging me. Is he waiting for an answer to a marriage pros all that he gave while working in the field?
Or more likely wondering what times dinner? 😉
Mazel tov!!!
I’ve been attempting to find any posters of Houghton’s work, but even at the museum where apparently most of her work is, they don’t have. Very unusual and interesting.
My mother told me she made bathtub gin during Prohibition. She also was proud of having danced with Victor McLaglen during her California sojourn in 1926 to 1929. She lived in three centuries. Born in 1898 and died in 2001. She was 40 the year I was born and I was her first born.
Mazel Tov on your newest grandchild!

Robert,
You really made my week this time. As a bartender many many years ago, I can tell you the Madge Bellamy picture was what I called the “eternal look in a bar after 1:00 am.
Then the Casablanca pictures; that scene is my favorite and why Louie is my secret hero.
Now go drink some Canada Dry.
