These two entries were especially fun to write!
#10: TRUE AMERICANA - SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS

How many of these Looney Tune catch phrases do you remember (and can you name who said them?)
"You're despicable!"..."What a maroon!"..."That's, I say, that's a joke, son!"..."That makes me very ANGRY!"... "Meep, meep." "Great horny toads!"
Ah...I could go on all day. Great memories. True Americana. Too bad Saturday morning TV isn't this rich any more. Cheers!

#11: TRUE AMERICANA - THE PAINTINGS OF NORMAN ROCKWELL
“The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.” (Norman Rockwell)
Busy day today, but still find time to continue by remembering things to Truly Be Proud of in America. For Day 11, I'm celebrating the classic American painter Norman Rockwell. I've always been drawn to his paintings (perhaps it's because I have an "old soul" in me. Some say I belonged back in the 1940's!).
