Hey thanks Nicky! Did you work on the pallet swing?

No, not yet. I've been really busy. But I'm gonna try to soon!

I remember Woolworths, the sears catalog even. I can remember 35 cent gallon of gas and you even got a toy when you filled up! I'm afraid those days are long gone Jon..

Oh how well I know. I remember my grandmother ordering 100 chicks from the Sears catalog for 10 dollars (10 cents each). They would be delivered and she would close off the kitchen, fire up the oven and heat the kitchen to where you could just barely stand to go in it. The chicks were in a box next to the stove. I could hold one now and then but they were not toys and they were not pets. The loss of a single chick was a loss of income. I also remember her drawing a line around my foot on a piece of paper, mailing that paper and some small amount of money to Sears and a few weeks later I had a new pair of shoes. Sort of like magic.

I guess that all the online shopping today is sort of shopping by catalog. And, I would never send any place cash today and expect to get what I ordered.

Must be this grey and rainy day we are having that has put me in a memory lane sort of mood.

I think I was born too late. I feel like I should have been born around the 40's or even the 20's.

Me too...the 1820's or 1840's! LOL (but seriously, I think I would have liked it better)
