Thanksgiving Foot ball


Posted by Yvonne Rosenfield @ La Petite Gallery

Foot Ball games on Thanksgiving

It started about the late 1800's.
At that time they were only school teams playing.

Here is a story:
HOW I MET JOE NAMATH: Remember JOE?

I was living in Miami Beach, about 1968-70. I forgot
it's so long ago. There was this beautiful Irish setter
running in the street for two days. The dog had no collar.
I told my friend I am taking him home before he is run
over by a car. I lured him into my apartment with a lamb chop.

When my husband came home I showed him the dog. I had locked
the Setter in the bedroom. Now,my husband went for a bit of
rope and some dog food. He took the dog for a walk .
My friend came screaming
" DO YOU KNOW WHO'S DOG YOU HAVE KIDNAPPED "
A few minutes later JOE, that's right
BROADWAY JOE was at my door.
I explained he was going to get picked up by animal control.
He was very sweet and Thanked us. Plus gave my husband tickets.

A few weeks later he came to my door again.
Joe asked if I would like the dog. It seems his land lord was
asking him to move because of Pharaoh. That was the dogs name,
not Cassey nor Clancy, or Pat. Pharaoh, hummm, maybe Farrah??

Cartoons and Memories- So it's Sadie Hawkins Day!




Posted by Yvonne Rosenfield@ La Petite Gallery


This is a photo of My Father left with argyle sweater and his Uncle Charlie Bowers, is on right with Aunt Winnie. I have so much paper work on Uncle Charlie. My Dad lived and worked with him in the house in Norwalk, Conn. Charlie used to write to me with wonderful cartoons all around the page. The Crazy clown is on the cover of Charlie's ole Cartoons. Renee picked it up in Paris for me. Kodak wouldn't let him publish some of the films they have, ; He died with
no will and no Children I think?? I tried to find him in 1980's there was a Cartoon Museum in Boca, Fl. they had nothing on him. Tried searching again in 1999 .
All of a sudden BEHOLD!! he is everywhere. Go Figure. Anyway I have wonderful memories of him reading me MUTT and JEFF on Sundays. I seem to remember more on days it rains.

Painting Spruce Head, Maine- Renee on swing

On one of my Daughters visits to Spruce Head, Maine (ST. GEO.)
we walked daily alongside Harrington Cove. Everyday you see something new. The seasons here are glorious. Renee walked Thor our blue eyed red
Dalmatian he is 14 years old. I took a photo of her on the swing and
did it in oils that winter. Memories have a vivid luster when I am painting.
