A tour of the first all electric home in Kansas City in 1954

"it was either this or spend the day with eight kids who had cabin fever and were slapping each other around like the three stooges..." - Belinda



"This tri-colored ceiling fixture was supposed to light the room, kill bacteria, and heat the room."

Your always so nice to me.

Blogging is cool because if I'm feeling twitchy about something I bore people with it by writing about it and then I move on. I always feel better and then I usually don't revisit those feelings or that stuff, I'm done....
Ugh, what a girlie comment, hey , I am a girl , it's okay!

I did save you the entry fee for a ticket to that museum though.

That makes sense.

That was interesting thanks for posting it.

They're hilarious. I watched part of a Stooges marathon on AMC on New Years Eve.

We had a Christmas tree like that for a few years... =:-0

Miss Lynne, our female tour guide wore a green poodle skirt and a vintage pink wool coat and her hair was in a pony tail. She had on white Ked tennis shoes and when she spoke about the tree she said that one of the reasons why those trees fell out of favor was because of the rotating colored lamps -they caused fires. BTW. I have one in the original box and will put it on ebay with a disclaimer. :o

Vin: You should get that lamp if it really works!
