Colors had a funny pastel appearance that unfortunately would fade to practically nothing. I like vintage neckties so I'd really like to see that one the man is wearing in the photo in it's entirety.Gojirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447765009033951544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49169815836541711082012-04-21T13:18:33.157-07:002012-04-21T13:18:33.157-07:00The Miami skyline has even changed quite a bit sin...The Miami skyline has even changed quite a bit since I was last there in 1978. It’s probably my least favorite American city I've visited.<br /><br />Love the third image. It’s absolutely awesome on all levels.K.

Wait, it was TWO fish! Did I mention it was the bathtub?<br /><br />Actually Major, I only love "I Love Lucy" and just some of her early movies. Anything that came after I Love Lucy is very difficult for me to sit through. Oh my gosh, if you haven't seen her version of "Mame," STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!! You have now been properly warned.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-23246428977261167192012-04-21T09:53:22.072-07:002012-04-21T09:53:22.072-07:00The photo of the people going to Catalina on the B...The photo of the people going to Catalina on the Big White Steamer (may she rest in peace) brings back so many happy memories of going over each Summer in the 1950's with Mom, Dad, Brother and Grandparents.

I think I've looked at this photo so many times that I stopped actually *seeing* it.
