Toys of yesteryear

[Aggie_Ama]

You know Tulip, I took me a long time to realize how much I do too. That sounds harsh but she is a very cold woman. My mom said she isn't sure she can count how many times she said "I love you" on more than one hand. If I say "I love you Mammaw" she will reply "Uh-huh. Be careful going home". She was born to a woman that didn't know how to show love in 1918 (according to my mom).

I think now all those crafts and keeping the toys was her way of showing love. She is a bit crazy but the world needs more people like her I think. And they need more pot holders, Logstix, Lincoln Logs, craft time, Spirographs and sandboxes full of old pots and pans.

Did you know that an old flour sifter is one of the greatest sandbox toys ever? Hers was so rusty but was great at breaking up the sand when it got all clumpy after a rain or getting the leaves off the pecan tree out of the sand. Oh look, you can get a rusty one on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/Neat-old-Very-pr...QQcmdZViewItem
