1950s Beloved Lucille Ball & her famous husband Desi Arnaz stand outside their Palm Springs home back in 1953.
Lucy was expecting the couple’s second child. Desi, meanwhile, was always striving to make their family’s house feel like home. Inspired by his Cuban roots, he had a few small buildings erected on the property, including a game room, a poolhouse and a barbecue pit, to mirror the sprawling ranch style aesthetic he was familiar with growing up in Santiago de Cuba. Lemon and orange trees, which Arnaz planted, surrounded the home’s exterior.

1960s My grandparents a few weeks before their wedding in 1961.
There's a bun in the oven in this pic 🤫 ( My uncle )
This is one of my favorite picture of them. At the beach in Lacanau, near Bordeaux in France.
EDIT: Wow, thank you all ! I really didn't expect this to blow up like that, it feels really good to share their story here, I didn't realize how much I needed to talk about them, kinda feels like a little therapy ngl.
Thank you all for your thoughts, kind words or being curious about these two amazing people 🩷

1980s Successful Polish private farmer, 1980
Agriculture was never collectivized in communist Poland, so private farms could exist. Those lucky enough to have fertile soil and good market connections could earn very good money through hard work and smart investment decisions. This farmer owns a house, a car, a dishwasher, and a color TV, and could even afford vacations in Hungary.

1950s I don't think I'll ever have a shot of myself that's as cool as this pic of my grandfather (Yokota, Japan, 1955)
His name was Felix Pestana (a Major at the time the pic was taken). He was one of the first four Filipinos to be trained to fly a jet fighter. They were flying Lockheed T-33s, just a training jet, but I can't imagine myself being strapped into and flying a 6,000 kilogram hunk of aluminum, at 970kph, that had less computing power than a modern day Casio digital watch. The last fighter planes he flew were F86 Sabres, then he moved to flying big transport planes like the Douglas C47 Skytrain.
