Clean OUT continues............

Birthdays end at midnight

although

we did keep eating the cake all day today.  J

Yum, yum!

Had a great farm breakfast as you can see.

More YUM YUM!!

 And then set out to empty the attic.

 

Found  NINE empty suitcases used for previous travels.
  Out they go.

Got Winnona just in time.

No “body scans” or paying to check luggage.

Golden Books inside one suitcase

and two trunks with Carrie’s childhood toys,

duplos, blocks,

Cabbage Patch

and American Girls Dolls and clothing.

Dress up clothes including silver and gold lame heels

I think they were a size nine. 
You know how GREAT they looked on

8 year olds!! 
AND
they can do everything
those ruby slippers could do
AND MORE!!

Purple Play phones

more heavily used then than the real thing is now  J

 

As well as animals and dolls made by hand

in the 30’s and 40’s

by her namesake,

her Great Great Aunt Carrie.

Good Morning and Good Night Doll. 

One face on the front,

and the other on the back

 

A Kermit the frog made in the 80’s just for her

and a manufactured Phineas frog

 

Lots of memories.

Did you still have the toys of your grown up kids

stored somewhere in your house?? 
Or what about your parents?

Do they have your toys stored???

(that question’s for you Nellie and all the other "youngsters"!!)
