The Mass That Matters
Billy Joel sang that “Catholic girls start much too late,” but what did he know? Jeanne didn’t start bleaching her hair too late. I think these ladies were right on time. Studying Shakespeare, enjoying vending machine coffee and Clark bars–these are the stuff of life.
Young women were getting their learning on, sans the distraction of boys.
A nun supervised a student who was evidently keen on growing out her sideburns.

Genius Idea: Mashing Grapes With Wine Bottle Itself
National Geographic describes this Viennese toiler as “an old-timer tamping bunches into a backpack.” Odd-looking backpack. And it’s not a wine bottle, but you knew that. It’s a pige.
And this here is pigeage.

Long Island Crazy Quilt
The apparent ghost/smoke in the image is actually a humming teakettle, signaling it’s time for these churchwomen to take a teatime break from completing a “crazy quilt” for a summer raffle. Though there be snow on the ground, the quilts will be done in time for warmer weather.
As an aside, I have a sewing kit that my great-grandmother owned, which looks nearly identical to the own above, except that it is pink.
Did your grandmothers quilt? Do you? It’s been making a steady comeback.
