The Big Sleep: 1955

It's February 1955, and as I, their delightful little brother, slumber peacefully, one of my sneaky siblings takes this photo. They did this a number of times, always finding great amusement in contrasting the uncharacteristic serenity I exhibited in my sleeping vs. waking state. Ha ha. View full size.

Fun Pajamas

I can see a guitar and rope on the pajamas. What else decorated them? Maybe a cowboy theme, with some horses and guns?

Trouble

Even in your sleep you have that trouble look. I really don't see serenity. I see sleeping trouble.

I would have loved that wallpaper as a kid in that day and age. Unfortunately, growing up overseas, we did not have access to it.

Changed my mind

Now I want a pair of Kermy's striped chairs and several rolls of that wallpaper, please. And someone to put it on my bedroom wall for me.

And that's all I need.

My wallpaper

In color.
