THINGS TO REMEMBER FROM OUR CHILDHOOD

 

bubbles blow out of little bird - ours from childhood - Hazel gave me purple thing as a gag - I made blond girl with clay - 

 

Daddy had nine silver dollars he got at the Corner Grill - I sold two to Charles Lee to go to a Con Hunley concert - later two con men stole thousands of dollars of silver from Lee  

 

 

Mother gave me a ruby ring for my birthday in the 40s, I lost the ruby stone - the other ring was from Miss Maud Brown - her or her grandmother's graduation ring - intitals MMB inside Mary Maud Brown  

 

 

 

I gave this to Papa after coming back from Pensacola , it had a penny in it - he gave it back to me with $20 for graduation  

 

 

 

telephone bracelet from Miss Maud Brown - pearl bracelet from Papa for Christmas after I teased him and asked what he was going to get me - he got all girl grandchildren bracelets from Journells - I bet I'm the only one who still has it watch from Mother - Mother's wedding rings - found another photo of Mother and Daddy  

 

 

from Jean - 50s 

 

 

 

Mother's jewelry from the 30s and Papa's coins from the store. 

 

 

 

The pink rose Nancy picked for her parents that they wouldn't let me plant. 

 

 

 

My herb garden, honeydew melons i planted seeds  

 

 

JD took me to his Grandma Martins, these little dogs were on her mantle, she took them down and ask if I wanted them - they are old. 

 

 

 

coins Papa took at the store 

 

 

 

 

Home Missionaries used to come to the school, they gave me these little Bibles in about the second grade so they are old. 

 

 

 

remember these - you tore the arm off by fighting like a cowboy with it.
I just want the kids to know about this, they may want to keep stuff or they may just want to throw it in the trash. Shorty Giles gave us the dolls. (see below)

 

 

 

 

And yes the Red Top Ale I remember well.

I super glued the camera - remember these?

 

Mother said that Daddy had somebody make this for her, must have been 30s, in 20 years this will be a hundred years old.   It was originally grey.  If a high end design house had it it would go for big of dollars as folk art.

(whatever you do don't let it get lost! dc )

 

I remember being in the backyard with Uncle Ray when he built this little stool.  That must have been 40s because I was really small.  He built a bigger one but I don't know what happened to it.  I'd hate for this to be thrown out but I wonder if any of the kids would even care.
