Weather

Twister Tuesday


Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
 

Say each tricky twister 3 times in a row,
as fast as you can.


More twisters?

I heard a bird
tell me something nice
summertime sun gives way to wintertime ice

Walking On The Moon


The etsy treasury Walking On The Moon, created by Aubeebop, simply defies gravity. Our vintage Life Magazines May 1963 was featured. This treasury is expired.

Space program articles and photography has been quite trendy for nostalgia and its retro look. Only two issues with space/moon content remain in our popular Life Magazine collection.
