I recently remembered the Sears & Roebuck catalog and the Montgomery Ward catalog. It was great fun to go through the new catalog. It was probably more meaningful to those of us who lived on farms. In early years, the old catalogs were used in various ways that I won't detail. The catalog was impressive to us as kids. You could pick out your product, send in the form and payment and in a few days or weeks, it was delivered to you. Sears has an interesting archive site - http://www.searsarchives.com You can see many old catalogs on ebay - http://search.ebay.com/vintage-catalog-sears_W0QQfnuZ1

I see on their archive site http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1933-1940.htm that you could order a very nice house through Sears in 1933 to 1940 for prices ranging from $869 to $1,400. For rich folks, they offered The Torrington (Model No. 3355) for $3,189. A photo of a home catalog can be found at http://www.150.si.edu/chap2/2sear.htm It advertises HonorBilt homes - 15 years to pay. I'm thinking about buying the Brentwood - 4 rooms and a bath for $869. Over 15 years, I could swing that fairly well. Even with their interest plan, I'll spend less than $9 per month.

The Smithsonian site has a lot of history - http://www.si.edu/history_and_culture/ A good overviews of our wars can be found at http://americanhistory.si.edu/militaryhistory/exhibition/flash.html

I ain't dirty! I washed my face and hands before I come, I did.

I posted this because I was tired and hot. So I washed my face and hands, therefore I wasn't dirty before I set down at the computer.
And yes, I washed behind my ears, thanks for not asking.

Eliza has the making of one Fair Lady. Only wonder if it were Alfred's or Henry's teaching that made the difference.

During some of my recent post I have embedded song lyrics, quotes, or one-liners. As I was reading backwards catching up I noticed some or all had not been answered in the way I was thinking so I thought I would re-post and make this open to all. I was going to give my Scottie Cameron, white, Titleist Red X putter hat as a prize. This golf hat had been worn once and is 1 of 500 that was made. Well it seems that one day I tipped my hat to someone and it was assumed I was giving it away. Which is what happened. Sorry I don’t have a prize other that a big “ATTA BOY” OR “ATTA GIRL”.

Here is what I posted on 3/16 in “Do You Remember”:
MJ: “You did it. You did it. You said that you could do it and indeed you did. You did it.”See I said it was way to easy. You guys are just outstanding.
If only I was cunning enough (which no one has ever accused me of and I'm not) I would probably hide some lyrics somewhere else.
Perhaps while you are having the chilidog at the Drive In reading the News, I would also suggest “you better count your money” cause “You need to think, think about what your doing” and pay the bill and leave a little tip.
Now let me see 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Pardon me, I was counting out loud. “Sorry about that, MJ”, actually I make it 7. Darn, and to think "I was that close". Now Andy will cancel my A+ and give me a F-

The clues here are in bold. Looking for 4 answers.
You need to go to the Rainelle News Update folder for 2 more items.
The Drive In folder will have the final item.
Good Luck and the clock is ticking.

Do You Remember
Daylight saving time changes this Sat/Sun night. So consider yourself for warned.
Which direction you ask.
Well spring ahead.

As Dennis Hopper said in a movie or tv show, “Where’s the love”.

Three to go:
“Sorry about that, Chief” Quote from TV series. Lead actor died last Sept. 2005

“beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean the unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green”. Song, recorded by many artist. Most famous was Canadian born.

This one I’m betting no one will guess. I seem to remember there are 3 versus. In the first two the last word was “none”. The last verse was “one”.
Each day I’ll add a clue. I’m still betting this song will not be answered correctly by Friday 3/31/06.

“But I want you to know
Wherever I go
I tip my hat to.........ONE”.

Chris, I am throwing in the towel. I tried hard, but can't break the code. I'm confident others have fallen with me.

Red Garters (1954)
A dime and a dollar
With a whoop and a holler and “A Dime And A Dollar” I’m a lucky son-of-a-gun, but wherever I go I want you to know I tip my hat to one.
This is just something that on one special moment in time I recalled.
After hours and hours of searching this is all I could locate.
At the following web site you can listen to as 30 second clip using Windows Media or Real Player.
http://www.oldies.com/product-view/66852.html

I think someone had already mentioned the comics inside the wrapper of Bazooka bubble gum.
Do you remember “punchboards”?
Weren’t there little strips of papers with a quote or a line before “fortune cookies”?
Hennnnrrrryyyy. Henry Aldridge! Coming mother.

Chris: I remember punchboards. My association with punchboards began when the troopers planned a big gambling raids and arrested all the business owners who had them...we sure had fun with that. But with all that knowledge of punchboards, I've never seen one. haha
