THREE!  On the FOURTH!

I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

There are some who would drink a FIFTH on the FOURTH.

There was a July 4 parade! This photo is from the July 4, 1976 parade, in which I worked on the Campus-Community Players float. Here I am - with hair, my Candide T-shirt, and macrame belt - between my friends, local radio host Geri Hart and float villain Ritch Stoops. I had more photos but I cannot find them! Our DR Ginny made a lovely heroine for the float.


I love this!

I've accomplished much but I have yet to begin the l;aundry. Playing with the computer, I managed to adjkust the tone of DR Ginny's 1976 float costume, which I designed and built. I'm very proud of it.

Elmore, you sew?! I’ve always wanted to wear a dress like this Ginny, I’m quite jealous


Although I did March in a Memorial Day parade in a hoop skirt one year.

It was back in 1977 and I don’t know that any pictures were ever taken

The end of the IKEA story is ever elusive, and now on my bucket list.

I didn’t even get to the middle yet!

DR Vixmom, let me tell you about the authentic 19th century corset and bustle.

I have a Sore throat, headache, sneezing, and I’m tired and miserable, so I took a Covid test.

It came back negative, I’m pleased to say

Hoop skirts do have the benefit of being roomy inside

I was never a great sewer, but spending two years in a theatre costume shop as a grad assistant for a career as a stage designer made me well-acquainted with a sturdy Singer. I would never consider myself good enough for a career in haute couture.

Well, it does improve your posture, and that's about its only benefit.

We'll have 1776 on at some point. That's a solid tradition. So is The Music Man, but the former has taken precedence in recent years.

We also like to watch Independence Day.  One year Richard, Rob, and I went to Dayton’s historic Victoria Theatre for a screening of Yankee Doodle Dandy, complete with free popcorn and a pre-show recital on the Mighty Wurlitzer.
