    The clown in the box that pops up after cranking the handle to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasle".

    My very first Barbie doll with short, curly red hair.

    My bear! I still have him, too, he's a little "loved" looking, but he's been mine my whole life!

    Marbles, jump rope, and for me, of course .... CRAYONS!

    Ice skates, the Del Lemonade Truck and the ice cream truck, laying in the fresh grass in the summer and watching cloud formations, riding my bike with my brother to the local swimming hole, clam cakes and chowder at the shore Dining Hall, the piano at my aunt's old house in Lexington, MA, watching my Dad repair watches and jewelry, coffee cabinets made by Dad on a hot Saturday afternoon, my Mom ironing EVERYTHING - and I could go on and on.......
    I actually have fonder recollection of events/happenings (no matter how simple), rather than material things.

    To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
    Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

    Play Dough. I actually have some on my desk at work. When I'm really stressed, I inhale it. It actually works...makes me calm.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    Swings, teetter totters, balloon tire bikes, ice cream man, playing kick the can, climbing trees, the pond where everyone gathered for a swim, our summer cottage, going fishing with my dad, playing I spy with my brother on long trips...could go on forever I guess.

    Ok, no one has covered these....yet.....

    Shrinky Dinks & Pop Wheels!! Anyone remember those?


    CountryWolf - If you're thinking of the kind of photo project I think you are, then I did something similar back in the winter.



    Anyone remember any of these items?

    Colorforms and Shrinky Dinks and my Mrs. Beasley doll. Sit and Spin, Dawn dolls (I had one!), and a Lite Brite that still works. Shopping with my mom at Zayre and Venture stores. "Levi's for guys, gals and kids at the Gap." Disco music! Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific and Body On Tap shampoo (7th-9th grade). In 5th grade my best friend wrote a fan letter to Melissa Sue Anderson from "Little House on the Prairie" TV show and got a signed photo back - I was so jealous!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
