The Bee Hive -- December 2024 Edition

just bee — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 07:05:33 GMT

Welcome to The Bee Hive! 🐝

🐝

We already have a Bird’s Nest and we had a Back Fence here, so we thought the addition of a beehive would be appropriate. To maintain the current two-word format, we chose The Bee Hive. 🐝

It’s a place where all are invited to chat about almost anything. 🐝

Join us! 🐝

Hey, all you HEPcats and HEPdogs! We had discussed making the Healthy Eating thread a monthly jam session, so I just went ahead and did a little improvisation.

This is an invite to our crazy crib where you can come and break it down! I say we go 18 karat on this and really swing. If healthy eating’s not your bag, no problem. But if it is, I dig.

It’s cool, I’m booted, let’s jump!

Observation:

I noticed houses decorated for the holidays before Thanksgiving. Saw even more when I drove to work on Friday night.

I have received two cards already. One from a nurse I worked with back when I was in nursing school and one -- hand-painted -- from BH.

And I'm listening to Christmas music in the car.

I'm interpreting this as a positive sign.

I remember when those big-eyed paintings were popular--must have been around the early '70s because my father brought me back one from one of his trips to Europe. It looked eerily just like me, shag haircut and all.💕

@geezerette

And I remember them in the 60s, too. Interestingly enough, Margaret Keane was producing "Big Eyes" paintings as far back as the 50s.

I imagine her style was copied by others.

1927-2022

Well, obviously it was copied by others. The woman had to sleep at some point.

This one is vaguely similar to what my father brought me. Mine even had a little dog with the girl that looked just like the one I had at the time. That's why I know it had to be early '70s. (I remember everything by the animal timelines.😉)

@geezerette

Are there any other?

What's weird is that we might forget names but we remember our family pets' names. I even remember the names of other people's pets growing up.

@just bee

My memory is cr*p. It always has been. The OG would talk about someone in the past and I wouldn't remember who or what he was talking about. But as soon as he mentioned the dog that person had at the time, I knew exactly what he was talking about! 😂
