Lucy and Desi

Today, Husband, the kids, and I went to visit my parents in my hometown of Jamestown, New York. Okay, so "technically speaking", I was born in Pennsylvania in a town a stone's throw from the New York border.

Anyway, the thing I have in common with Lucille Ball is that she was a native of Jamestown. Do you remember the I Love Lucy Show starring the zany redhead (Lucille Ball) and her husband, Desi Arnaz?

My kids loved watching the old reruns that I had enjoyed as a kid....Lucy was so crazy, along with her neighbor, Ethel. The twosome seemed to be continually getting themselves into hot water!

So, this advertisement for the Lucy and Desi museum and store is on the side of the nice ice arena in downtown Jamestown. I left Jamestown in the mid eighties, and I am so surprised just how much the town has changed since that time......
