Aha!! Finally explained!One time several of us noted that there were inexplicable stairs in the picture,leading towards the front door from what weâd thought was their single-story living room.
Rumpus rooms! Of course! When I was a kid in Illinois and Wisconsin, LOTS of people had them, but Iâd forgotten.
The Day the Earth Sat Still⊠just like BurlâŠ.. OKâŠ. gonna just bite my tongue and not mention one of my pet peeve grammatical errorsâŠcos donât believe artists should be required to be English teachers.In fact, I hate it when people spell and grammar-check others in the forums, tooâŠ. but dang.
Verla lives in a bi-level? If Burl and Jer are down there then there must be a bathroom lurking around some where. Canât see either of them watching TV on a different floor from it.
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, and things seem hard or tough, When people are stupid, obnoxious, or daft, and you feel like youâve had quite enoughâŠ.â«Just remember that youâre standing on a planet thatâs evolvingAnd revolving* at nine hundred miles an hour,Thatâs orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so itâs reckoned,A sun that is the source of all our power.The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can seeAre moving at a million miles a dayIn an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,Of the galaxy we call the âMilky Wayâ. â«- Monty Python(*the Brits say ârevolvingâ while we Yanks say ârotating.â)
In Cleveland we had a âfamily roomâ in the basement (1st time I ever heard the term, so for years I thought family rooms were in the basement.)
My grandparents and one aunt and uncle had ârumpus rooms,â another aunt and uncle had a wet bar so they called the huge space âthe bar.â
Gymshoe âŠYou can tell itâs Verl cos she wears her hair in a little bun; Marge has a French twist. And also cos she says âJoyâ at the end of her sentence.
Marg â I forgot to remind you to plunk your magic twanger!

Like your frog, Marg!
Burl should be careful, when Verl comes back, she may accidently wink wink spill the coffee on his lap!
Morning Crustwoodians!
I am about to go downstairs for a cup of coffee!
