Jackie, Jack, Ethel and Bobby at Hickory Hill, c. 1956-1957.

When John F. and Jacqueline Kennedy moved in together for the first time as newlyweds, they rented a four-bedroom townhouse in Georgetown, with oak floors, huge windows, and an English-style back garden with a brick walkway and bright flower beds.
Now, for the first time, that house is about to hit the real estate market, having been kept in the owner’s family since it was built in 1942.
The list price is $2 million.
John and Jackie married on 12 September 1953, in Newport, Rhode Island.
It was the high-society event of the season, with more than 700 guests.
After they honeymooned in Mexico, Jackie, 24, stayed with her in-laws in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, while John, a 36-year-old freshman senator, visited on the weekends.
Jackie wasn’t a huge fan of the arrangement and was “anxious” to get a place of their own, according to Anne Garside in her book “Camelot at Dawn: Jacqueline and John Kennedy in Georgetown, May 1954.”
John’s secretary found the furnished rental at 3321 Dent Pl. NW in December 1953; the couple moved in just after the holidays, in January 1954.
Jackie was no newcomer to the Washington area. She had spent part of her childhood in the tony suburb of McLean, Virginia, and had been working as a photographer for the Washington Times-Herald when she met Kennedy in 1952.
According to Garside, John already had ambitions for the White House and welcomed any press attention, so when a photo agency suggested a spread on Jackie’s homemaking skills in the spring of 1954, he and Jackie readily agreed.
From May 4 to 9, photographer Orlando Suero took more than a thousand photos of the couple in their rented home, many of which ended up in the women’s magazine McCall’s.
In the photos, the house holds the couple like a warm embrace. Here, they lean side by side against a balcony railing; there, John relaxes with a book in the sunny backyard while Jackie tends the garden.
There are photos of Jackie coming down the stairs in a ballgown for a candlelit dinner party.
There are others showing her dressed “casually” in a plaid pencil skirt while talking on the phone in a second-floor bedroom and on the patio petting the dog.
Suero even captured the couple looking through their wedding photos together.
“The sessions reflected the image that the Kennedys themselves wished to project,” Garside wrote: glamorous, rich, young and powerful.
Even so, she wrote, a present-day reflection on all that would befall them makes them appear “strangely vulnerable” in the photos.
The Kennedys damaged a number of items in the home in only six months, leading to a large bill upon moving out — $385.49, or about $4,300 in today’s money.
The listing includes a photo of a letter from Jackie to her landlord Virginia Childs, reading:
After Dent Place, the Kennedys spent a few months at Jackie’s family home in McLean, where they experienced their first great trial as a couple.
John’s chronic back problems became so severe, he required a spinal-fusion operation and nearly died of a resulting infection. They spent time in Florida while he recovered.
When they returned to Washington, the couple moved to Hickory Hill in McLean.
It was there the Kennedys experienced another tragedy: In August 1956, their first child, Arabella, was stillborn.
The couple would later lose another child, Patrick, who died at 2 days old in 1963; months later, Kennedy was assassinated.
“Their stay in the house at Dent Place has received only passing mentions in books about the Kennedys,” Garside wrote. “Yet these few months in their first home were perhaps the only relatively normal time in J[ohn] and Jackie’s married life.”
After Kennedy’s assassination, Jackie moved temporarily to Georgetown again, this time to a sprawling mansion on N Street NW.
Incredibly, that property is also on the market.
At $2 million, the Dent Place home is by far the cheaper of the two. The one on N Street, which has been combined with two adjacent properties, is listed at $26.5 million.

I know I said I'd do another Hazbin character as a mobian, but I got this idea for a new pony and sketched it while watching my husband play Horizen Forbidden West last night. I think I settled on how I wanna draw full bat ponies at this point.
Her name is Bella Noche and she helps run the saw mill in town with her husband and eldest son. She also likes to do carving on the size. Her stuff is fancier looking than Dexter's.
I'll have to add context to this when she's done and I will, since I haven't posted anything about Hickory Hills for awhile. I'm sure I'm confusing some people.

COON RIDGE NOVELTY SHOP
The caption of this real photo postcard reads: “Rube St. Clair, Champion Basket Maker of the Ozarks, Coon Ridge Novelty Shop, Ozark Route US 65 … Reeds Spring, Mo. Con Jock Studio.” This is a sharp, well-fixed image from a photographer/studio we have not encountered before. Unfortunately, a search of newspapers.com did not pull up any ads for the “Con Jock Studio.” Distinctive souvenirs were…

Penang Tales : Dining with The Most Beautiful Scenery in Penang (Part 2)
This is Part 2 of our Penang Trip. Both my sisters came back from USA and Australia respectively for a short break. We went to Penang to visit our mom's side family and had a simple family wedding dinner ceremony of my sister Skye ( @skyemak ) and her husband, Victor.
Here we traveled to Armenian Street in Georgetown and visited some tourist attractions there ie Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple, Khoo Kongsi, Famous Murals like the Bicycle Mural, and did some shopping. Then for lunch, we went to Restaurant Taman Emas opposite Penang Girl School for their laksa (It's really delicious but I've tasted better). Then we went to Straits Quay and had Nyonya Dinner at Nyonya Breeze. It was great!
We spent the next day at Penang Hill. Visited many attractions within the Penang Hill, my sister Skye went to The Habitat with Victor. The rest of us chilled at David Brown at the top of Penang Hill. Then we gathered and headed to Hickory at Penang Hill for Lunch. It was the most memorable experience. Scenery of Penang is most beautiful there. The over a century old structure is very well maintained and clean. Food was amazing. It was quiet. I think not many people know about it. Or many just don't want the trouble of stopping in the middle of Penang Hill as the Funicular Railway train only stops by there once every hour and we had to let them know in advance each travel, and call them again 5 minutes prior to the departure time.
My sister had her simple wedding dinner for family at Starview. It was delicious and cozy.

#HeartlandFoods #HeartlandFoodsThousandHillsUncuredHickorySmokedBeefHotDogs #UncuredBeefHotDogReview
I tried Heartland Foods Thousand Hills Uncured Hickory Smoked Beef Hot Dogs and this was pretty good.
These hot dog tasted fresh with no weird aftertaste and actually had a nice meaty flavor than other hot dogs I had which are either overly salty or tasteless. These hot dogs were firm but soft and easy to eat. These hot dogs were lightly salty to me but not overly which is a good thing. These were water boiled and no i'm not review the hot dog water. Gross.
I would eat these again.
Got online.

Got inspired after watching Lady and the Trap and they sang the song 'Bella Notte' in it. Seemed like a perfect name for a bat pony, and Hickory Hills has its own resident bat pony, mother of 4 of its citizens, whose husband and other 2 kids will eventually be made and introduced. Also I think I settled on how I want bat ponies to look.

Just now, at the last house on Park Street Terrace, then Island Road Beach, Lunenburg, Massachusetts.
We often get stuff in our mailbox from people offering to buy our house. If you want to know why I sneer and throw them in the garbage, this is just one of many, many reasons.
