THE SUITOR and the Wallpaper


Vern met Charlotte at a Grange dance and was immediately taken with her smile. After several dates Charlotte decided it was time for him to meet ma and pa.

"Pa is thinking of retiring and the two of them will move in with my brother and his wife. He said we can have the house. You'll love it. Ma decorated it herself."

    I had a somewhat similar blanket on my bed when I was a kid in the 1950s -- and I also then had [and still have] one of those Guardian Angel lithographs. The Guardian Angel image in this snapshot doesn't look good with the wallpaper but, nevertheless, I really like that wallpaper! A childhood friend's house had something similar. Nowadays, the modern decorating style has living rooms seeming barren and cold, like sterile operating rooms, with bare walls, undressed windows, minimal furniture and no keepsakes or momentoes to give the rooms personality.

    1. Yes, the uncluttered no dust look. I've failed miserably at it. I'm surrounded by stuff.
