Happy Birthday, John
Happy Birthday to Brudder John. Everybody was a cowboy back in those days. This hat must be a replacement for a smaller red hat that he wore so much that his ears started sticking out. He has since given up his gunpowder caps for sharp, pointed weapons - director's batons! Thanks for this pic, Uncle Gene!
Been looking at Westminster chime clocks on eBay. Getting one does not seem to be in the stars for me. I got outbid on one, and another that I put an offer in on had a spring break when the British seller wound it up for a test (better there than here!), and DH has also said that they are noisy and that he would not appreciate the mellow tones. Maybe I will just forget the whole thing. (^-^)
