It had a few sharp edges here and there so we had to be careful when rearranging furniture! That would probably mean a lawsuit today. Thanks for the memories.

I think you over heard me and my sister saying "Grandma had those"...My sister and I always went to The Antique Warehouse when she visited. I have not been there since March. After my hair cut and cover the gray day at the beauty parlor I strolled over to Unique Boutique. I always enjoy spending time there. <br />I had a banana seat too I think it made me ride faster...LOL <br />Have a sweet week, sending love and hugs, Elizabeth Elizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-72239393508420903962012-09-23T06:58:17.064-07:002012-09-23T06:58:17.064-07:00Oh man, I always wanted a banana seat.

I do remember Mum waking us up to watch the first walk on the moon. I remember crying over MLK and RFK assassinations.<br />On a happier note, about 1971 or so, I got a gorgeous magenta Schwinn with a floral-printed banana seat and a white wicker basket on the front. I put a lot of mileage on that bike!<br />Those were relatively care-free times. I admit that I thought the purpose of the evening news was to look at maps of Southeast Asia, and learn how many Americans were killed today. A chilling and all-too-familiar thought.WendyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171619702536045694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-78861203300445678772012-09-23T04:51:39.732-07:002012-09-23T04:51:39.732-07:00I actually miss those days.

Long days of bike riding, coming in when the streetlights came on, games of tag and hide and seek. <br /><br />I loved Paul.

I found myself saying similar things seeing these items particularly the metal dollhouse, which just so happened to reside in my kindergarten classroom. <br /><br />I like that you smile at such comments. That's a lot better than the sign revealing cranky owners at my antiques store: "Don't tell me that your grandmother had one of those. We'll charge you an extra five dollars."Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
