Long long ago before DIY became what it is today,
my mom was a WHIZ at making things look fancy!
This simple table and stool was covered to match in pink checks!
In the center, there is a two drawer cedar jewelry box,
a gift from a trip to Minnesota,
that still sits on my dresser today, 50+ years later.
Not sure what this "sit in" was about ....
was I in some kind of time out?
or was I just being really grumpy?
They're towing our car away.....
Across the street, you can see the Armory
and such a little tow truck!
In the backseat of this Chevy
was my indian feather headdress I liked to wear.
I was sad about losing that for days.
We replaced the old Chevy with a new 1963 Rambler
by American Motors. I remember it being fun to have
a brand new car! Seat belts weren't installed in this car
until federally mandated in January 1968.
Lori and I had the whole back seat to ourselves!
No AC, crank windows, AM radio, standard shift --- it was awesome!
When I was in grade school, I had to write something,
and I recall writing about hearing my Dad leave for work
early in the morning, with the "Roar of the Rambler" ....
It must have had a distinct sound!
