Lucy and Ethel.
Note the lack of pinkie finger extensions. And don't you love the supervisor?
Here's my maternal grandmother Pulcherie Fortier, who looks a little like the assembly line lady.
Fishing was one of her favorite hobbies and she fished until she was very old. She lived to be 100 and fishing may have contributed to her longevity.

Ah the old Lucy programmes, memories of my childhood. Thanks for the clip. Oh and yes please - speed up that belt a little.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten how funny Lucy could be. A good choice to fit the photo.
ReplyDeleteA very entertaining post"!
ReplyDeleteGood for Lucy and Ethel!
ReplyDeleteFunny video! That reminded me that when I was working for a temporary agency many years ago, I ended up packing candy one time.
ReplyDeleteLived to 100? Guess I'll get my old fishing rod out...
ReplyDeleteUse worms. She did - maybe that's the long life secret.
DeleteWhat a creative take on this week's challenge!! I love that Lucy episode.
ReplyDeletePulcherie Fortier. I love saying her name. Her fishing photo looks so peaceful.

What a great photo of your grandmother fishing. That's a rustic little dock and stool, and she is much better dressed than most people I've seen fishing.
ReplyDeleteToo bad she didn't wear an apron while fishing, that would have really been perfect. She does look a bit like the prompt lady though.
ReplyDeleteMy father used to maintain the wrapping machines in a chocolate and toffee factory and he used to have many a tale to tell about the production line workers eating the sweets as they came past. Your post brought home loads of memories for me
ReplyDeleteA fun post on the theme. Your grandmother certainly took fishing seriously to dress so well.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen these two photos of my great-grandmother. I like fishing, too! Who knew? Thank you so much for posting them.
