Washday is Child's Play PAPER DOLL

 I went to Half-Price Books last week and they had Life Magazines for one dollar each.  I bought several issues.  At home I was looking through the issue with Jackie Gleason on the cover and there she was, I could not believe my eyes, a paper doll and her clothes, cut out but carefully placed back in the magazine.  I could see that the little doll was from an ad in the magazine.  I remembered that Half-Price had two copies of Life with Jackie Gleason on the cover so back to the store I went and luckily it was still there.  Below is the uncut  version of the paper doll.

October 05, 1962.  LIFE Magazine.  "Washday is child's play when you have an automatic dryer".  An ad from United States Steel.  There is a second page with 2 dresses and an apron.

Good Music and Great Worship

June 22, 2013.  On Friday I saw a performance by a finalist from "American Idol" and on Saturday I saw a performance by a young lady who was/or is a contestant on "The Voice".  I have never seen either show.  Miss Holly Tucker will no doubt be a success in the music industry for she has a pure vocal talent.  After church we headed back out to Miller Outdoor Theatre for the 2nd night of the Houston Symphony Summer Nights.

If you plan a visit to Houston make sure to check out the Miller Outdoor Theatre schedule and also the Second Baptist family would like to invite you to come and visit one of our church services.
