Here’s my Five Minute Friday post. Five Minute Friday? What does that involve exactly?
1) Write for five minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2) Link back to The Gypsy Mama.com and then invite others to join in!
I am picturing Vivian Vance and William Frawley from “I Love Lucy.” Ethel, chubby, kind, and ever-so-patient with Lucy. Vivid is not Vivian though! Certainly not Vivian Vance, nor is it Vivian Leigh, Scarlett, from Gone with the Wind; in her white petticoat and green velvet sash.
Two very different characters, that are vivid (there’s the word) to my recollection. Growing up in Queens watching Vivian Vance on tv while I sipping on Campbell’s tomato soup. My brother, sitting next to me during our lunch hour while my mother ate her sandwich while standing and opening the mail. One hour to relax, to watch our show, before Bewitched. Or was it Bewitch? The one with Elizabeth Montgomery.
Campbell’s soup, television, Huckapoo-polyester shirts and chocolate milk. Vivid memory.



















It was Bewitched.
I adore I Love Lucy, and I had to click over when I saw that image at The Gypsy mama. I loved the humor in your post and also the memory shared.
Thank you so much Tiffany! I loved all those afternoon shows not to mention Carol Burnett in the evening!
