Happy SUNday! U Roc Me
Camera: Fujifilm X-A10 with Vivitar Series 1 f3.5 70-210mm Zoom Lens
The image is taken from about 10 feet inside my home through a dirty window looking out to the rocks in the garden (at 210mm). Not bad for a 40-year-old Vivitar lens!
Have a peaceful day!

Happy SUNday! Violent Cartoon Edition
“Willie Mouse” on a 1960s era movie editor.
Mickey’s delinquent cousin? I can’t remember how many times when I was a kid that I’ve watched this cartoon – there was something fun about running your own cartoon through the family projector.
Super cool 8mm film editor – we love the 1960s style of this thing! It was made in Japan by Ohnoya Shoten, Ltd.
Back to the movie. “Baby Faced Battler” by Castle Films, produced by United World Films. The character first appeared in 1938. Crazy violent!
DeJur Model 750 8mm movie projector – c1953
Mindless fun!
Have a great day y’all!

Sad SUNday! Remembering the kitties we lost this year
Zoe – Our Sunroom Kitty – 2000 to 2018
Zoe was nearly 18 years old and she went missing just 2 days after we found Pirate dead.
Pirate – The King of the Neighborhood – 2003 to 2018
Sukoshi – The Soft One – 2003 to 2017
As much as Carol and I have enjoyed our different kitties over the 45 years of our marriage, with the loss of these three we have moved on from pet ownership. It’s painful to think about it but as we age it’s best for the cats and us.
Our first kitty – Avon – 1975
Our cats: Avon 1975, Tank 1975, Sony 1981, Candy 1983, Zoe 2000, Pirate 2003, Sukoshi 2003 ^.^
Thanks for stopping by. Have a beautiful SUNday!

A couple of the advertising boys from Yashica
Could this be the camera that our Sailor Boy is holding? Yashica’s Auto Focus Motor 35 from 1981.
Since Yashica has never officially named their advertising doll, I’ve always referred to him as ‘Sailor Boy’ for obvious (to me) reasons. Sailor hat and blue sailor pants. The other boy – well that’s still up for discussion. I originally thought of him as being a party boy and then a Christmas elf and now back to party guy and now… Yashica’s take on the nursery rhyme, “Wee Willie Winkie”. Floppy hat with the little ball or tassels on the end, and pointy slippers. It appears that Yashica used him to “announce” the arrival of their new camera. A stretch but thanks to my friend Paul, a good stretch.
The camera that the boy is holding resembles the Yashica Auto Focus Motor which was released in the early 1980s. The brochure shows the camera on a table with party hats, presents and a cake with candles – a birthday cake?
Party hat? Christmas hat? Sleeping cap? It is missing a green decal on the front of the hat that says Yashica in katakana. The green decal and the white hat with red stars made me think that these were Christmas colors.
The Sailor Boy (far right) with his proper green decal on his cap. Pointy (elf?) shoes and what appears to be a Christmas ball hanging from the cap… or maybe not.
A true Christmas Sailor Boy – he’s a candle and so is his tree.
Could this be Yashica’s inspiration??? Hmmmm
Thanks for stopping by Y’all! Have a great day!

Happy SUNday! A simpler time – 1959
Happy SUNday y’all! Hope it’s going well.
Here’s a neat item from a much simpler time. We love that the prescription is in Carol’s mom’s first name only and that there’s no mention of what the drug was. Can you image? It’s almost 60 years old now – it’s amazing that her mom kept the bottle!
Thanks for stopping by!
