I was thinking of Colorforms just yesterday! It occurred to me that many of the games I play now on Facebook are the basic idea of Colorforms. LOVED those, had quite a few!

Other happy memories: my first dog, Lassie (guess who she looked like?) we got her when I was 5 years old, after me pestering my folks for a year for a "Lassie dog." Standing in the midst of tomato plants at my grandparents home, in August, picking one, rubbing it on my shirt and biting in. FRESH, warmed by the sun, and delicious! The smell of the corn boiling in a pot on the open fire at their place (NEVER find corn like that today!).

Toys: I love my plastic red wagon, Mom would fold laundry in the living room, load up my wagon, and I would deliver it to the proper bedroom. Of course, Mom had to follow; if I took them out and put them on the bed, they were all unfolded again! My flying saucer and sled for winter sledding. They were the "old" type. The saucer was metal, round, and when you hit bumps it dented. The sled also was metal runners, with wood slats.
