I Love Lucy, Part 3

After viewing the murals around Jamestown, NY, I went to the cemetery where Lucille Ball is buried.

At the main entrance, there were signs instructing visitors to follow the "I Love Lucy" logos on the roadway.

This little pathway led to the gravesite.

A fitting engraving on her large black granite tombstone.

The other side lists the names and dates of all the family members buried there.

There were pennies and other items left on top of the tombstone by visitors and fans.

This sweet, heart-shaped, red-painted rock was resting at the base. It was nice to be able to pay respects to this woman who I did not know personally, but who was admired and loved by millions.

This concludes the tour of Jamestown, New York. :)

TGIF!

I Love Lucy, Part 2

Two more impressive murals!

This one features another episode from the "I Love Lucy" tv show, entitled "Lucy Does a TV Commercial".

The episode goes like this:
During multiple takes for a commercial, Lucy must repeatedly taste the product called Vitameatavegamin , a nutritional elixir.  The results are pretty hilarious.

Here's a full color postcard featuring an almost, but not quite, identical scene as the mural.

This next black and white mural is of Lucy and Ricky, again, of the "I Love Lucy" tv show.  Lucille Ball (Lucy) and Desi Arnaz (Ricky) not only played a married couple on tv, but were married to each other in real life, also.

I Love Lucy, Part 1

I recently visited the hometown Lucille Ball in Jamestown, New York. So, I have some cool goodies to share!

First off, there are several great murals scattered about town, all related to the "I Love Lucy" tv show (1951-1957).

This one here is wonderfully gigantic. It's in full color (even though the show itself was in black & white), and features a scene from the 1955 "California, Here We Come" episode.

 Here is a black-and-white postcard of the same scene for comparison. Pretty good reproduction!

That's all for today. Happy November!

Patricia had no postcard preferences other than she said "use your creativity". What's more creative than Lucille Ball wearing funky glasses and fake nose?!
