My Tricycle

Here is me with my new tricycle I got for Christmas one year. What a neat trike! It had everything, a bell, a horn, a basket, handlebar shields and streamers! Boy did that trike get a lot of use. My own kids even played with it when they came along though it had lost all the neat things long long before.

Looking at the tree behind me in the picture I noticed the decorations. I can still remember those reindeer and snowman, they were made of Styrofoam. Even some of the balls were Styrofoam too. The reindeer's legs broke off as I remember.... I also can remember that red garland strung on the tree too. You can't see it in the picture but on top of the tree is (I'm pretty sure) a Santa face with a soft white beard. We used it for years. Some of these things are still around at Linda's house.

The Rocking Horse

Today I'm comparing a picture of me riding my rocking horse with one of Nathanael riding it . The old thing had a different paint job since the one of me was taken and it is in bad need of another one in the picture of Nathanael.

Doll Buggy

These two pictures of Kathy and Linda cracks me up.

1966

Cleaning house yesterday I came across this old very faded picture of my sisters and me with the new bike I got for Christmas that year. Linda is holding Tiger Tom our big yellow cat. I noticed that this picture was taken in the same location the old picture of us girls and Ronnie back in 1955. Seems like Linda and I always had matching coats like in this picture.
