Howell, this party was centered around what us old folks remember of the 1950s. Coca Cola was the big thing. I don't know if we even had Dr. Pepper then. Besides the coke cups were free and I thought they would fit into the theme I was using. I'm still working on pictures. My computer got a virus I guess and now IE doesn't let me use it. So my son put Mozilla Firefox on so I can at least get online. But since then I can't use Photobucket which automatically resizes my pictures to post here. So in the meantime I'm trying to use a resizing software and didn't know how to make it work until Katfish told me. So now I'll go back to the rest of the pix.
This is my DH and I. The 50s fashions that I display are: pearl clip on earrings, pearl necklace and bracelet, turned up collar, Pete's classring on a chain around my neck showing the world we are "going steady", shirttails knotted in the front, capri pants, (Saturday I wore jeans cuffed) rolled down sox, and white tennis shoes and pink shoelaces. Pete had his jeans cuffed, white tshirt with sleeves cuffed and I trimmed his sideburns real long and tried to give him a flat top but his hair was too short. He forgot to wear his sunglasses. The guys wore black sunglasses with black frames.
Pete's son Ken made us a nice sign. It is now sitting in the den propped against the gun cabinet. By the way the den is decorated with all Pete's Corvette memorabilia.
The last one is just people trying to get in the shade.
