some folks still go to balls. This young lady hand stitched her dress and made the corset under it.
It sure felt funny when I gave her a swing and felt strong fabric over her sides.[ATTACH=CONFIG]608035[/ATTACH]

What a fun life you lead, leonf!
Aunt Bea wasn't really anything like she looked on Mayberry. She didn't like children. Stayed in her trailer most of the time during shootings, when she wasn't needed. The rest of them all were like a family. I am friends with a child actor (my age, now) who played one of Opie's friends on the show, Johnny Paul Jason. (He was also Little Ricky on I Love Lucy.) He said Frances Bouvier (Aunt Bea) was really mean. Funny how we can get fooled by.... "ACTING!"

She was a park guide for a pony express station here in KS. One day a fellow on a cross country drive needed to walk a bit, Since he had an interest in history, he stopped at the station. His 300 minute break took 2 hours and then a supper. They are now married and thier second child is on the way. Her mom teaches corset making, She rides a unicycle, plays violin and can butcher her own meat. We gave them a red eye treadle for their wedding.

My Mom always complained about Aunt Bee and Olivia Walton. "They were so crabby". I loved both of them 
I got the biggest kick out of Desi Arnaz when I was little. I loved when he got mad and started speaking in his native tongue, also how he pronounced "Leetle Reeky".
I thought he was funnier than Lucy!!

We too enjoy the old TV shows All In the Family, etc. I have never thought we would see such trashy looking stars on TV as we have today. I also cannot believe the way people dress when they go out this day also, tired of boobs and butts. It is not a pretty sight. Some also wear their pj's and slippers. We can buy inexpensive clothes that look decent. I would like to give them a mirror. No pride whatsoever.
