Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
I was never a Barbie fan, but that's a pretty cool house. I got a Satin (Satin-y anyway) comforter for my bed one year and I absolutetly loved that thing. I used it until it was totally shredded. One year in college my dad gave me an ammo box full of change. The rule was that I had to spend it as change - I couldn't take it the bank and turn it into cash. That box of change saved my butt so many times in my broke college days. Fun fact - gas stations don't like you much when you pay with pennies.
ReplyDeleteI was a Barbie freak too!! My greatest possession (since I am from the days long before the pool, house, vettes) were all the clothes my mom made for my Barbies. She got tired of me wasting our napkins making clothes for her. The saddest day of my childhood was the day someone stole my Barbie case off our front porch....but I've made up for that. Now I have a pretty nice collection of the holiday Barbies.
ReplyDeleteI loved everyone's decorations in yesterday's blog! Merry Christmas everyone!
My friend had the Barbie house and I loved the pool with the "bubbles" you could do. I did have the Barbie Corvette at one point (funny how it had the cable attached to it though so you had to stand near it! LOL) Probably a favorite gift that comes to mind is the My Friend Mandy doll my mom got me with the yellow rain slicker, hat, and boots. I still have a trunk of clothes for her and I got a replica doll off of Ebay years ago because my doll had pen on her face and my mom was SO mad she couldn't get that pen off! LOL She still has the most precious face of any doll I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI only have one Christmas present that comes to mind when I think back about what presents I received. I received a boom box and a copy of Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet cassette for Christmas when I was six. I loved it and used it every day until I was about 14, when it was replaced by a stereo with a CD player that was also for Christmas. But the boom box represented my musical freedom. I didn't need to listen to what my parents were listening to anymore. And I think they were also thankful, because they didn't have to listen to my Mini-pops cassettes anymore.
