My blog is pretty laid back. I like to share jokes, recipes, books I've read, photos I've taken, day-to-day vignettes, and odd or fascinating items. All with a splash of humor. CURRENT HEADER PHOTO: My sister's famous cherry cookies.

Signs - A Blast from the Past
I love this 50's-looking sign of this local restaurant in central Illinois. It would be cool to get a shot of it with the lights on, but I don't think they are open for dinner any more.
This comes at the perfect time because just this week I was made to feel antique when someone said that their school when they started was SO LONG ago that they had to use books and had to e-mail their answers in and get their grades back by [gasp] e-mail!!!! Oh my goodness! The horror! Like, we even HAD electric typewriters when I was in school let alone the internet!!!! Cripes do I feel ancient! LOL
It's definitely got a 50's look about it. At least it doesn't hit you in the face like some signs.
ReplyDeletehey we have a coffee cup here in town...that is pretty crazy
ReplyDeleteI love old signs too.
ReplyDeleteI love the sign....but I am anxiously awaiting part 2 of the dresser story!! Don't keep me hanging!!! lol

ReplyDeleteI love these old signs. Maybe you can see if they open early for breakfast, and have the lights on then. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet they have a good slice of pie to go with that coffee!
