Is It "Cool"?

I found this vintage ad in my 1951 Life magazine.

The question is, "Was it a really cool and modern idea?" {pardon the cool play on words} or "Was it a really lame idea that flopped right away; an invention disaster?" I sure have never seen such a thing up close and personal!

My big housewife accomplishment this morning (besides multiple loads of wash) was to totally empty out the refrigerator and remove the drawers and shelves and scrub it all.

I am proud to say while throwing out some items that fit into the let's not keep this anymore category, I only found 1 science project type food item. You know,the forgotten left-overs container, the kind that gets pushed back behind the jars of this and that and begins to grow pretty fuzzy colors?


When I loaded it back up with everything that was fortunate enough to make the cut and closed the door, I had a freakish sense of satisfaction with myself. I also thought of this vintage ad and knew I had to show it to you.

A great big hello and thank you to everyone that has stopped by to say "Hi!

Cottontail

This was our bunny, Cotton. Cotton was a very loved and very spoiled bunny, given lots of cuddles. She went to bunny heaven about 2 years ago.

 N. was smack in the middle of his "superman phase"! That was a period of time when I would have to wrestle that shirt off him to be laundered every now and again. The cape that is on it was transferred from a previously outgrown superman shirt. I created a super hero situation by sewing that cape on for him, he wanted to wear not much else instead! It is fun what little boys do!

An update on our pet baby bunnies:

They are all fine and growing quickly. They are hopping all over in the cage now and eating some of the food from their momma's dish too! Nibbles (as we call pellets of food) and  alfalfa, apple slices, cucumber, and some celery leaves. They still nurse, except now they chase after Momma to get the milk. They don't have to wait for her to bring dinner to them!!

The runt is still less than 1/2 the size of the other 2 siblings-but growing just the same! We are still deciding on official names. We seem to be calling the runt "Lucky" lately.

They are 17 days old today!!!!
