But they do look similar. Kids don't ride bikes so often these days. I think it was one of my primary activities on nice days when I was a child.

At first I thought it might have been a Murray tricycle, but then I found a picture on Ebay of what must have been "my" trike. It had room for a rider on the back like yours and it came from Sears, which was pretty much the exclusive shopping place for my parents. Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Sears-Trike-Tricycle-Kids-Childrens-Boys-Girls-60s-Teal-White-Solid-Tire-/350599899634?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51a161e9f2 Luckily, it is very expensive or I might have been tempted to buy it. Great article.

I remember...Oh, Kathleen, what a hard thing to do. I remember going through my parents home with my siblings and how heart-wrenching it was. So many memories, both good and bad, and so few photos. I'm glad you're taking photos now. It's not the same as having ones from your childhood but better than no photos at all. Write down your memories and experiences. You're such a great writer, I'm sure your children and grandchildren will feel they've inherited a goldmine! Thanks for your get well wishes.

I know when I'm working away in the kitchen, I look like I'm working and am not at my best. In my mind's eye I can see my grandmother in her flour-dusted apron, rolling out pie crusts. I KNOW she would not have appreciated a photo, no matter how thrilled her grandchildren would be to have one now! <br /><br />Thanks for your kind wish for my recovery, Shelley. I appreciate it.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-59069264013881887912012-10-27T02:10:20.471-04:002012-10-27T02:10:20.471-04:00Oh Nancy, I hope your foot heals quickly. What a t...Oh Nancy, I hope your foot heals quickly. What a trial - not to be able to get around easily. I wish I had more pictures of the way our farm looked years ago, in my childhood. I've been in Idaho this whole month, helping my mom with my dad's estate stuff. I have spent several hours photographing all the little things I want to remember. The canal, his shovel and boots, the back door, the grain field, his watch and wallet, the WWII medals and uniform, his scriptures, and the coin collection. Even many more things that are small, but special memories. We have a large family and these things will eventually become keepsakes to many people. But I don't need to own it if I just have a picture to remember it. Lovely post. Get well soon!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-5019031695486587622012-10-25T08:48:22.306-04:002012-10-25T08:48:22.306-04:00The kitchen photos would be great!

(I'll probably have to post it now, as you have made me want to go locate it just to see how much of the kitchen it captured.)<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you're flat on your back...<br /><br />DeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963956577797121886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-42276510268837470592012-10-25T00:03:35.965-04:002012-10-25T00:03:35.965-04:00Thank you, Shelley.

I thin...Thank you, Shelley. You're so kind. <br /><br />I think maybe our ancestors though the common (kitchens, barns, workplaces) was too common to waste on photographic film, especially before smaller, personal cameras.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-61216826120951345172012-10-24T23:50:33.764-04:002012-10-24T23:50:33.764-04:00Nancy, I would love to have pictures of my great-g...Nancy, I would love to have pictures of my great-grandmothers' kitchens, too. For some reason, even though it was the heart of the home, the kitchen never seemed to get photographed.<br /><br />And my wish for you is for a full and speedy recovery!Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.com
