We must go beyond textbooks,
go out into the bypaths
and untrodden depths of the wilderness
and travel and explore
and tell the world the glories of our journey.

So much catching up to do! I thought I had the only cat who went nuts to be brushed. I thought he thinks he is a dog. Maybe he is not as strange as I thought him to be! Your little baseball cup was from a type of Kool-Aid's I recall from childhood! I recall the packages were very saturated in color. I do remember their being grape and orange, lemon. Each was a character. Your school photo journal is so precious! What a treasure. I so enjoy the pottery, the landscapes, the interesting architecture of your posts. Everything brings my childhood so close to my heart! I hope you have a lovely vacation! Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful and relaxing trip. Can't wait for you to get back and hear all about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteHello! Thank you for visiting me and for your encouragement! I was looking through your blog and my mom kept one of those school books for my sister and I too. Ahhh! The memories you helped to bring back...the Toni perms and Brownies. Such fun times! Have a great day! XOXO

ReplyDeleteHey chicky!
ReplyDeleteAs I write this, you are still off on your holiday. We got back yesterday, The week was so nice. I will email you more. I have been looking over your previous posts. Love the schoolyear scrapbook. I had one of those too. But I took it apart as a teen and put it all in a larger scrapbook. I can never leave well enough alone. I bought you a few little things in florida... so you must come this summer so I can give them to you. :^)
Yuck to the dust you had. That would be hard to live with.. do you put on a mask or scarf when you go out in it?
Write me when you get home.
love ya! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
