In the Boat With Vivian: Lingerie of the 1930's

http://intheboatwithvivian.blogspot.com/2012/10/lingerie-of-1930s_2.html

Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Lingerie of the 1930's. Brassieres were finally available to the general public in the 1930's. Corsets were becoming less popular. The earliest versions of the bra prior to 1930 didn't much resemble the bra you see here. They were huge and restrictive and looked very hot and uncomfortable. Underwear was more like tap pants than what we think of as panties. Bras were unstructured. These garments shimmering in satin and silks and trimmed with lace were very pretty. We are all in t...

Karina Russell: Jack of All Trades

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2013/02/jack-of-all-trades.html

Sunday, February 17, 2013. Jack of All Trades. Let me preface this by saying that I love to do anything artistic or creative. As a child, I wanted to learn everything I could from my grandmothers. From their knees, they taught me cooking, sewing, crocheting, household chores like laundry and ironing, and many other useful things. My mother encouraged my love of creativity. My love of purses lives to this day. 8220;Do you really need another purse? My husband asks skeptically. I want to sew a list of thin...

Karina Russell: Back to School

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2013/08/back-to-school.html

Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Bobbie Brooks via Pinterest. Public schools resumed classes on Monday here in Reno, Nevada. It's a little earlier than normal. Each time I walk into a store and see shelves of notebooks and crayons, it takes me back to when I was a girl. That's been a few years, so I know it is a strong memory. I always loved new notebooks, new crayons with sharp points, and of course, new shoes, but the best thing was new school clothes. We would leave the store with bags loaded down with Bob...

Karina Russell: A New Phase in Life

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-new-phase-in-life.html

Sunday, November 16, 2014. A New Phase in Life. It has been many months since I posted anything on this blog - twelve to be exact. In spite of all I'd given away or thrown out, one twenty-six foot U-Haul truck wouldn't hold everything so we had to rent another one. My son drove one truck and pulled my car on an auto transport. I followed behind him in the second truck, driving twenty-three hours across country. Will these events enrich my writing? View my complete profile. Day to Day Writing. I am border...

Karina Russell: Ramblin' Karina

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2012/04/ramblin-karina.html

Saturday, April 7, 2012. It has been a while since I've posted here. I'm working on dicipline to write each and every day. I wrote an entire book and then decided to change the tense, so I'm editing and there is much more life swirling around me these days that cut into what I'd like to be doing. I'm new at this and writing articles that are profound and informative doesn't come easy. Today I'm getting ready for Easter Sunday. Hope you all have a good one. View my complete profile.

Karina Russell: Bulletproof George

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2012/02/bulletproof-george.html

Saturday, February 11, 2012. When Washington's horse was shot beneath him, he got on another horse and continued the fight. The second horse was shot beneath him as well. Still, he remained. The ground all around was covered with dead soldiers and all the other officers were killed. Washington stood alone, his red coat daring them to shoot him. Finally the Indian Chief commanded his warriors to stop firing. “This one is under special protection of the Great Spirit.” He said. The Great Spirit protects tha...

Karina Russell: The Decline of America

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-decline-of-america.html

Friday, November 15, 2013. The Decline of America. Every now and then something happens that seriously riles me. Hearing that the schools will no longer teach cursive writing is one of them. Apparently some schools are fighting back after they heard that cursive would be dropped from the curriculum. We've learned much of what we know of the past from letters. They told the stories of current events, daily life, and the emotions of the people who wrote them. Many schools today are nothing more than day pr...

Karina Russell: A Slice of History

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-slice-of-history.html

Wednesday, August 1, 2012. A Slice of History. I began first grade in 1961 in a small rural school in Arkansas. It was one of a few one room school houses still inexistence. My Aunt Shirley taught grades 1-5 in that little rock school. I’ve often marveled at how she did it and how tired she must have been at the end of the day from running around the room giving instructions and assignments to each age group. If we finished our work before she got back around to our grade, we were to sit quietly. There w...

Karina Russell: Kindred Spirit

http://karinarussell.blogspot.com/2012/10/kindred-spirit.html

Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Sharlene, one of the girls told me I should connect with Linda. I didn't really know Linda back then. Our paths rarely crossed and she was an acquaintance only. Have you ever met a person like that? I've met two others in my lifetime and it is the most amazing feeling when things start coming out and you feel like you have a clone. View my complete profile.
