It belonged to an old couple on our street. When they passed, the chair stayed on and another family bought the house. They moved on, and we bought the house somewhere around 1960 I believe. Of course, the chair was still there. My brother had the chair in the 1970's and passed it on to me in the late 1980's. My word! That poor old chair...one day I may refinish it! Thanks Diane!

I really feel for Caroline, the only one left-she is a very strong lady! You're right, one tragedy after another, we wondered where it would stop. Hopefully it's over with.<br /><br />The large banner of JFK was really striking-huge! It's exciting that you were able to see the programming too, and, it's honorable that you have the interest in events such as this. I am the same way about your country. The two young princes, William and Harry are continually active in their charitable events. I so appreciate seeing how they have grown up, and they are adorable!<br /><br />I am so glad you came by...thank you so much for your compliments and for your interest in our country's good times and bad. You will be in my thoughts this Thanksgiving...wish you could be here! Have a wonderful week, Thisisme! ♥ Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383039383765299104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-71322373921780680862013-11-23T15:21:39.690-06:002013-11-23T15:21:39.690-06:00Forgot to say, I love that vintage wicker chair !Forgot to say, I love that vintage wicker chair !Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-23399478725578504232013-11-23T14:12:08.152-06:002013-11-23T14:12:08.152-06:00Hi Suzanne. That Banner looked terrific I thought...Hi Suzanne. That Banner looked terrific I thought. We saw it on the television over here as well. All our hearts went out to America on that fateful day fifty years ago. You just couldn't take it in really. There have been lots of programmes here over this past week, and I must admit that I avidly watched every one. Such a tragic family, with one death after another. I was interested to see from a bloggy friend in Japan, that Caroline Kennedy has recently been made Ambassador of that country. Jackie O was such an icon, but, of course, it wasn't quite the Camelot that we were lead to believe at the time, was it? Fascinating post dear friend. As you won't be here again until after Thanksgiving, I'll once again wish you a happy time over this coming week.

It's terrible, I just can't remember though, if it was announced over a PA system, seems like a student that worked in the school office brought a note around to our teacher. <br /><br />I think society is concerned that our younger folks won't be as interested in this tragedy as we who lived during the time are. During the ceremony, it was mentioned that this would probably be the only time there would be quite an event commemorating JFK, because most of us won't be alive in years to come. It is history, but, I do think there will always be a universal interest in this event.<br /><br />Thank you so much Nancy for stopping by and for your kind comments. If I don't see you before Thanksgiving, do have a wonderful week! ♥Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383039383765299104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-26330443793468889392013-11-23T08:43:58.218-06:002013-11-23T08:43:58.218-06:00My daughter, born in the seventies, is fascinated ...My daughter, born in the seventies, is fascinated by the events surrounding this crime of the nation. She called yesterday, asking again where I was when it happened, etc. like we had not talked about this so many times before! Odd that I, too, was in History class when the principal came over the PA system with the announcement that the President had been killed.<br /><br />You put up an excellent post.Nancy McCarrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867768046703596688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-53040197118563027042013-11-22T21:22:49.550-06:002013-11-22T21:22:49.550-06:00Well, sDs, it is a sad day, and also a celebration...Well, sDs, it is a sad day, and also a celebration when we get a glimpse of the good times with JFK! Funny, I was working on my post and, there was yours! But, what a day...and, we've been watching some of the programs all week, I just can't name them like you did, lol! And, I wanted to share what Dallas did this year in recognition of this horrible deed. I am proud to be in Texas to see this memorial ceremony. And, it was special! I'm glad I had the day off work...I wouldn't have gotten these photos. Kind of looks like I was there, lol!<br /><br />I probably won't have a post before Thanksgiving either, other than maybe a How Do You Do. Have a wonderful family gathering Shady, we will get to have Scootie if the weather permits and will be going to Bridgeport! Take care. Thank you so much for coming by and visiting us this week, and for your kind comments. I was a bit apprehensive about posting this, as I have never written about JFK before. It's a tough and sensitive subject. Take care, see you soon! ♫Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383039383765299104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840444083467497053.post-75093975560360262232013-11-22T20:55:00.531-06:002013-11-22T20:55:00.531-06:00Hello again, dear Suzanne! You snapped some aweso...Hello again, dear Suzanne! You snapped some awesome pictures off the television screen, especially the closeup of that jumbo JFK banner. I had not seen some of these images even though I recorded and watched the 6:30 pm newscasts on CBS, ABC and NBC. I've immersed myself in assassination coverage this past week, beginning with the TV movie Killing Kennedy starring Rob Lowe and continuing with the 48 Hours Special, CBS Morning News, MSNBC's archival "as it happened" video of NBC newsmen Frank McGee, Bill Ryan, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley doing live coverage of the events unfolding on 11-22-63. I am also recording the two hour Tom Brokaw special tonight. I realize the 50th anniversary of the assassination doesn't mean much to younger generations and even to some people our age, but it is a very important observance to me and, I'm happy to see, to you and Karo as well. <br /><br />You mentioned that you got the news of the shooting while sitting in History class at school. That's exactly where I was, in History class at my high school in York County. As was the case at Karo's school, a series of announcements came on the intercom, first reporting that the president had been shot, condition unknown. Little by little the gravity of the situation became clear and finally I remember some kind of prayer service and choir hymns being piped into the room. It was surreal. I just didn't want to believe it.<br /><br />I applaud you for this post, dear friend, and for keeping an open mind and making use of the word "allegedly" since we still don't know for sure if Oswald acted alone or was part of a larger conspiracy and had accomplices. The movies Executive Action and Oliver Stone's JFK both had me convinced of a massive conspiracy and shooters on the grassy knoll. Theories about multiple shooters and a "magic bullet" have "allegedly" been debunked in recent years by modern technology. News commentators have pointed out that it's difficult for most of us to fathom that a disgruntled little man with grandiose delusions, zealous about a cause and determined to be a hero, could wreak such havoc and single-handedly change the course of history. <br /><br />The fine citizens of Dallas who braved the cold and drizzle today to remember and pay their respects to President Kennedy are a reminder to all the world that Dallas should not be condemned for the dastardly deed committed 50 years ago, allegedly by that single gunman.<br /><br />I don't have any more posts coming up before Thanksgiving, so I'll once again wish you and Karo and Scootie a joyous holiday. Looks like much of the nation is going to get hit with a monster storm. I hope you and your loved ones won't bear the brunt of it.<br /><br />Goodnight, dear Suzanne!
