From the past....

For many of us, finding things from childhood is difficult.  I know that I wish there were more things from my childhood.  I feel fortunate to be able to locate the few that remain.

My sister, who follows this blog, will remember these books. 

A traveling duck.:-)

Half pages to turn.

A lazy beaver.

Half pages, too.

There are others I have not pictured - "The Bossy Bullfrog," "The Rooster Who Liked to Brag," and "The Selfish Little Puppy."  I remember that I was fascinated by the half-page format, though reading the books did not seem too difficult for me.  They are held together with tape, applied many years ago. 

Some of you have commented about my battery dilemma a couple of posts ago.  The battery to my camera is actually a rechargeable one, and I just haven't bought an extra so that I will have an "ace in the hole.":-)  It is actually a huge accomplishment for me that I am remembering to even take a camera along.:-)  Forgetting and leaving it behind - that's just "par for the course" for me.:-)

I also should have mentioned something about the Ingles Farm earlier.  Virginia has granted this farm a Conservation Easement.  That means the farm land will never be used for any other purpose.  In fact, it is now located within the city limits, but because of the Easement, it will remain as a farm with no development of any other kind taking place on the land. 

Have you ever heard of Glencoe Museum?  That will be next!

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.
