It's funny. I don't remember TV playing a big part in my life growing up. After all, I spent most of the day (when not at school) outside playing with friends.
I do remember we had a black and white TV (I was hooked on Batman) back in the 60's. I can't recall when we got a color TV. Fast forward to 2025--my wife and I watch a 98" TV.
Oh, and that $1000 TV in 1954 is the equivalent to almost $12,000 today. What a TV you could buy for $12,000.
That's a very good point - it makes no sense to single out one month. I'm guessing she was referring to those parts of the world where March represents the beginning of Spring rather than Autumn, new beginnings etc., but even then, it's a bit of a sweeping statement.
Nothing ever goes truly to plan does it? - well said!
I bought my granddaughter an organizer for her crochet hooks instead of candy this year. Last year I gave her art supplies. My daughter handles the candy in our home. My other grandchildren when they were younger, I sent them things they liked to do. I'm not the candy supplier either.
I like the idea of pajamas, maybe next year that's what I'll get her new spring nightgowns.
I'm finding it very challenging after my knee surgery. Jeans that I used to wear don't have enough stretch around the knee (it's still swelling) and I don't want to buy new jeans. Even sweat pants are too narrow right now around the knee. Capris' hit right above the knee but smack dab in the middle of the swelling. I hate wearing shorts so I'm wearing knit pajama pants when I go out and while I'm home in a nightgown. The nerve spasms are still an issue.
I agree with you about the cut, I hate jeans that when I sit my butt crack shows so the rise is a huge deal which takes online shopping off the table for me.

Joy Thank you for your comments. I’m sorry to hear you have the dreaded arthritis too. You never realise how important your feet are until they refuse to work.
Use these words in your entry today: magical, harpschord, eventful, occasional, minstrel, clowns, and emergency vehicles.
Even though I live out of the city, the sound of emergency vehicles can often be heard racing up the highway. We’ve lived here in this quiet hillside town for over forty years. Once upon a time this was an un eventful place with perhaps the occasional police car zipping past chasing a stupid people acting like clowns, speeding in our 60 kilometre zone.
The town holds its own carnival each year with a minstrel or two playing the harpsichord on the street and the mayor dressed up and handing out sweets to the children. It transforms our town into a magical place where the townspeople can believe, just for a day, that we’ve stepped back in time to how our lives were in a different era.
