Averted Imagination: Austin, TX
Heading off for my first trip to Texas. I should really be taking a cowboy hat I guess, or maybe a fine dress western like this Stetson 100. Top of the line in its day, it retailed for a C note in the 1950’s and 60’s - a lot of change back then.

Hardest Berry to Swallow
Walt is definitely a master at manipulating Jesse, but it was a little too difficult to believe that Mr. White would have the time to feed Brock lilies of the valley between packing up his family and laughing manically in his own crawl space.

In the summer of 1942, Princess Juliana leased a small estate in Lee, Massachusetts where she and her young children lived for several months. The estate was close enough for the Roosevelts to drive there from Hyde Park for lunch or tea. The Royals also regularly visited Hyde Park. Seeing that the young princesses were having trouble with their swimming, FDR gave Trixie and Irene each a set of waterwings to help them float.
In this letter, Trixie and Irene thank the President for his gift and express their affection for FDR’s dog, Fala. The photo is of a Picnic for Princess Juliana at the Roosevelt
