The French title “Le Nuage rose” translates to English as “The Pink Cloud”.
Claude and Clara could go see it as it’s in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Here’s a LINK to the museum’s blurb about the painting.
The zoom resolution provided at the site means you can get a really good look at the details of his technique.
Here is a LINK to an article about the aircraft used in the show (the one pictured is a 1943 Cessna T-50 / later replaced by a Cessna 310B / both named Songbird).
I don’t remember the series at all. I wasn’t born at its debut and when it ended, our family was living in the tropics.
What a coincidink – I’ve just watched “Puss in Boots – The last Wish”…

Oooohhh. Ski snark from Cleo in Act II.
But she redeems herself in Act III by understanding that sometimes, if you call a thing what it really is, no one would touch it with a ten-foot pole.
My mom, when I was a kid, bought Broadway musical albums instead of movie ones, because they had John Raitt on them instead of Gordon McRae, or whoever.
She also brought him onstage to sing a couple of duets when she appeared with the Boston Pops. It was many years ago and I do not remember what year exactly. As I recall, he chose one of her ballads as a song he would like to sing with her. Not a lot of dry eyes after that number.

These Cleo comics are great! Poor Claude. Cleo understands him all too well! Thanks for the laughs!
Big storm tonight, after days of weather predictions saying we were having one when we really weren’t… not compared to this… though in other places it was very heavy.
It came with a bit of an electric outage (no extra charge) (yes, pun intended)…
Only a bit, I suppose you could say, cos it never actually went out for long enough to do much except reset the clock on my microwave…. but it was flashing off and on every few minutes, and I didn’t want to use my computer.
….
Anyhow… I finally arrived in Cleoland/Cleveland to see that we’ve taken another trip to the past.
Pre-talking, pre-upright Cleo…. though I don’t think there has ever been a pre-snark version.
She was born snarky… probably even making sarcastic remarks to the veterinarian when she was delivered.
This cottage cheese must be a rerun, although I don’t remember it.
This didn’t answer Claude’s question the first time around either.

The recipe below is exactly as written in the book. I’m guessing there is a misprint in
the first instruction sentence. I think it should be Heat the sour cream to moderate temperature… and not milk. There’s typo too.

Published by: HARPER & BROTHERS NEW YORK 1958
Earlier edition published as: The Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book (1948)
Library of Congress catalog card number 58-8873
SCHMIERKASE (No credit) (Cottage Cheese)
6 cups thick, sour cream
1 cup cream, scant
Pepper and salt
1 tablespoon cream
Heat the milk to moderate temperature. This is to be a soft cheese, so do not allow the
curds to scald or they will toughen. When the curds and whey have separated, pour
off the whey and place the curds in a cheese bag, hung to drip over a pan in a
warm place. (In the old days this was the back of the stove.) Hang until the curds have
drained but are not dry. Place in a large bowl and mix with cream, pepper, and
salt. Just before serving float a little cream on top, sprinkle with salt and freshly
ground pepper and perhaps a little cup-up (sic) chives.
Note from me:
Aside from my comment above, the sour cream referred to is almost certainly the cream
that separates out from barn-fresh cow’s milk that’s been left to sour.
The 1 cup cream, scant…; is again probably fresh from the cow but not soured this
time. A scant cup is 1 cup minus 1 tablespoon.

Such pathos in the pup’s eyes. No wonder the lady fell in love with her.
The lady is the late actress and singer Julie London.
Thank you. I couldn’t remember.
her voice was incredible!

Now that dog looks comfy!
That dog looks like a small deer.
Or a large one
There ya go. Only a great dane. 😀
This one made me laugh out loud!! But, yes, he does look comfy.
he’s probably not allowed on the couch. 🙂
That’s why he keeps two feet on the floor.

I am sure that there is a name for this painting technique. I am equally sure that I do not remember what it is.
Looks tedious.
Pointillism?
It’s related to pointillism…
but a bit later some artists started using bigger, more separated dabs of color like this, and called it divisionism.

I remember that show. I also remember having a crush on Penny for some reason, considering I was so young.
i think this is where i learned about airplanes, and thus a life-long crush began.

I really like this tune. The band was quite good.
Is it common for Ringo to play beside another drummer?
the Phil Silvers Show
For me, this is George’s best song.
Cleo, what do you know about the cottage? Fess up!
What goes on in that cottage stays in that cottage.
The funeral home in the first of tonight’s vignettes is counting on your repeat business, by offering 50% off but only for 30 days.
They should appeal to cats with 9 lives.
Maybe they offer the cats “Buy 8, get the 9th free.”

oooo, my ‘pole’ is 6’3”.
I love Bonnie Raitt.
any relation to john raitt?
His daughter!
that’s why i liked her!
They sound great in a duet.
My mom, when I was a kid, bought Broadway musical albums instead of movie ones, because they had John Raitt on them instead of Gordon McRae, or whoever.
His daughter.
like father, like daughter.
Apparently I’m an echo here. And I had not had the page open for long before posting it.
When she played Carnage Hall she brought her dad in because he had never had a chance to play there.
She also brought him onstage to sing a couple of duets when she appeared with the Boston Pops. It was many years ago and I do not remember what year exactly. As I recall, he chose one of her ballads as a song he would like to sing with her. Not a lot of dry eyes after that number.

A cheese cottage in Wyoming.
Actually an art installation… the house was sprayed inside and out with melted cheese.
eeeeewwwwww.

ohhhhh. my favorite!
