The Daily Picture Theme for June 30, 2024 is #Exhibit. The fake Swanson Salsibury Steak TV Dinner was an exhibit at the National Museum of Funeral History in Houston, TX. The actual dinners did not look as good. The exhibit was meant to introduce the 1950s time period of funeral practices.

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”– Benjamin Franklin
Hot and very humid today.Too hot for hard labor and too hot for light labor, I’ll be spending the day consolidating like with like. For example I’ve compiled a pile of reading glasses from every room in the house. They will go in one area TBD, Also after not finding sunglasses and work gloves, I’ve assigned a basket which will be in the garage for those items, also my tick gators (look it up).I found a few items that I thought I had lost, a sledge hammer and machete,
For the archives
I have boxes of stuff to sort that came from my mother’s house. Once again it is placing like with like. I put all the photo albums on a shelf and found a high school yearbook which actually more of booklet with a soft cover. I found two photos which I have scanned for my archives.
Scanning and downloading songsheets
I scanned some of the more interesting stuff that I found in a box of my mothers stuff. She kept all the cards the kids had sent her and I scanned some of their artwork. I was also downloading songsheets on the laptop because I am getting tired of carrying big binders of songs . On the laptop I can store EVERYTHING… but it will take time.
It’s 17:34 and still hot and sticky, I was hoping we would get a shower and cool everything down, Severe T-Storms are predicted but i see no evidence yet.
On this Day – June 30, 2006 (Friday)
Fruitlands
I suppose it was meaningful that the location of a corporate lunch for our group was held on the grounds of Fruitlands Museum, the location of a failed Utopian society. Our company didn’t last either and it was no utopia. Here are some photos from that lunch in 2008. The lunch was nice.

I ate a lot of Swanson dinners in the 50s. I wouldn’t gather up the reading glasses, it’s good to have a pair in every room.
