American Gothic
I believe it was a genius at Sesame Street who coined the phrase: One of these things is not like the other. YET, these pictures have the same theme. I bet you dollars to donuts you’ve seen the photo on the left. It’s titled: American Gothic, and is one of the most famous images in history. The image below? Well, not so famous(yet),…Meet Taylor McDougall and Lindsay Lefebvre.
Green Acres?
You see, I know this couple. No, not the American Gothic pair,….the other two! During one of our brief and optimistic spring days, my nephew Taylor and GG Lindsay, were sprucing up their brand new yard in front of their brand new house. At first, they reminded me of couple from “Green Acres”. Do you Remember that show? It ran from 1965 to 1971. What do you mean you weren’t born yet??? Anywayyyy, a fancy New York lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas gives up the rat race to fulfil his dream: living the life of the American farmer. He brings with him-Fighting the move to rural life–His glamorous, boa-wearing, city-loving wife, Lisa. And don’t forget about Arnold the Pig!
Green Acres
Those were the days when people still used the words: wacky and screwball comedy. If you want to reminisce about Green Acres — watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEOxYV25lbg. If you want to read about the picture of American Gothic — go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gothic
