Searcy, AR

Look what I found in this latest foreclosure that I'm having to work up.

I thought that it was so neat! The house was built in 1969. So perhaps this was part of construction in those days. However, I've been in a lot of 1969 houses and I've never ever seen one of these.

I thought it might just be something hanging on the wall like a picture. However, when I started to take it down there were wires and things behind it. It didn't intend to come down easily.

So I'm handing this puzzle to activerainers. Home inspectors, what would you have said about this device?

Ker-plunk!!

Ooops! Something fell out of the bed. Groggy me tries to comprehend what the item might be. Couldn't be me 'cause I'm still in bed! A quick feel indicates hubby is still a lump on the other side.

OH!! YEAH!! It musta been the soap!

The soap has to go to bed with us. One bar of soap which we have when leg cramps start. Quickly sliding that soap bar to the legs will eliminate that cramp.

Hubby even came down with a case of tennis elbow, except he doesn't play tennis so it would be golf elbow. Romancing that soap around the elbow has certainly improved it. (The elbow, not the soap.)

Sometimes we even fight over who has the soap. WHERE'S THE BEEF SOAP!

Being a forward thinker, I decided that the soap bar should romance my neck. So I snuggle up and put the soap bar around my neck to relieve all that real-estate-stress tightness! From that position it was easy to accidentally slap it out of bed.

But, you know what? I believe my neck is better!! Try it!!

Monday there was a parade down the main streets of Searcy Arkansas to begin the White County Fair. Bands, floats, horses, queens, politicians, and a-lot-more strutted along the streets as cheering throngs waved to them from the sidelines.

Weather is pretty nasty this week but hopefully it will clear up before the week is out. During this Fair Mania a friend brought this picture to my husband saying he'd found it in an old fair tabloid from 1964!! Look at what they were giving away. Looks like two cars and a boat to me.

That's my husband in the foreground even though I didn't know him at the time. Second guy was a popular car dealer named Audley Bolton. Somewhere back through the years the big give-aways ended and the fair certainly is not the same without them.

Here's a historic view of West Arch Street in Searcy Arkansas. Notice the building on the right was under construction. Notice the streets look like mud! Looks like a wagon with passengers heading West. On the South side you can see a Drug Store sign and that must have been Stotts which is still in existence.

And look at all those poles! Telephone poles, light poles, poles to hold up awnings!

This picture should make us appreciate how thing have changed. When we feel like griping about a pothole, remember this picture. Also look at our lovely areas where the utilities are all underground.

A second view shows the street in the 50's.
