 And as we leave our tour for the evening I would like to add this image of the beautiful old Elms planted in the late 19th century by the Honorable Horatio Seymour. |

In 2014 Dave and I began a new project called "The Skizzer 'n Eb stories. Sadly, most of them no longer exist. He began to put them up on his FB page and slowly transfer them to his timeline and a preset page but that link is now broken. These stories all began with a simple funny old timey postcard that I found on line of two old Utica (I suppose) farmers sitting on a fence. I sent that postcard to Dave and he just took off with it. The good news is, that I have the original postcard and 6 of these are featured in the tour "Parks of Old Utica." I'll put them here and probably come up with a few new ones, although they won't be Dave's, somehow I don't think he'll mind.
The original postcard:

Moon pie and a Co-cola ain't much fer a growed man like me." " Now, don't go and tell that to that guy Dave. You know he set's a right good store by a decent Moon Pie." " You stink Skiz. Move on down the fence hey?" " Not as bad as yer jokes, Eb. Not as bad as yer jokes."

 "Say, Eb, you think that guy Dave is really gonna get us a room?"
"Well, he came up us to didn't he?"
"Yup, he did . But he was ' plaining bout you were whittlin on the carpet."
" I ain't whittlin on the carpet now, Skiz. I'm whittlin twixt my knees."
" Just you be careful afore you whittle yerself into a you-nick,Eb."
"What's a you-nick?"
"It's in the Bible, Eb."
"Then it must be good to be a you-nick, Skiz."
"Only if you like to wear eye liner, Eb."
"Eye what?"
" Pansy -Lou wears it now. Makes you look like you got a black eye."
" So folks will feel sorry for her?"
"Nope. So the boys will buy her a drink at the road house, Eb."
"Tarnation, Skiz. What is this younger generation comin to?"
"Duno, Eb. Next thing you know they'll be holdin hands in the dark at the movin picture show."

LOL. I love Skizzer and Eb. That's because they are all of what we are and I wish I had more of them, but he either never posted them or the link to the page is broken. |
