We used to pray for snow so we could take my dad's old Flexible Flyer and our newer saucer sleds up to Murray's hill.<br /><br />And no one wanted to be the look out for cars, even though a really good run meant that you ended up on the other side of the street.<br /><br />Thank you for the memories.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-45579687783109689992009-07-28T09:05:47.277-04:002009-07-28T09:05:47.277-04:00It's a beauty.

I love garage sales as well and op-shops (thrift shops I think you call them) It's the thrill of the chase that appeals to me so much! I don't do the bartering thins however.

We rarely have had enough snow for this kind of fun. But one year we had lots of snow and ice so the ex made a crazy sled type thingy out of his saw horses which we tried to ride down our street.

At a house near here, there is a fence of Flexible flyers -- they are attached in a curving line along a stockade fence -- it looks great and makes the fence an art piece. These same people also have a fence made of bicycles welded together in a long line!<br /><br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-27490743461329392802009-07-26T18:33:15.165-04:002009-07-26T18:33:15.165-04:00I can't wait to see what creative thing you wi...I can't wait to see what creative thing you will do with Rosebud this winter!Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-59514249042806409772009-07-26T17:54:50.693-04:002009-07-26T17:54:50.693-04:00Aww that Orson Welles ... he was um...a character....Aww that Orson Welles ... he was um...a character.<br /><br />But you SCORED at the garage sale.
