Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
Calvin and Hobbes. 
Or your inner child.
ReplyDeleteSeeing I don't have a child; and seeing I'm still a child, I keep them for me.
ReplyDeleteI am with Delores and Lee. My childish things still have a (very big) place in my world.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean save them for your child, I still read the one's at my place my children left them here they grew out of them I didn't.

ReplyDeleteI have nothing (good) left from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteBut, I do have a heart and head full of fantastic fairytales and fables from worlds found in books of long ago.
I like to recount stories, it's in my European blood, so I hope my (future) grand child/ren will enjoy them...
(Sorry, spelling error in my deleted comment)
The childish things are still in my memory which makes it easy to play Barbies and board games with my gr-daughters.
ReplyDeleteDelores; my inner child is well satisfied with the stuffed chimpanzees and gorillas I have. Toys of course. I never had stuffed toys as a child, they were my sister's.
ReplyDeleteLee; of course you do, it's good to still enjoy the things that brought you your first happiness.
Elephant's Child; here too, my childish habits rule. Reading, colouring, redesigning house plans I find in newspapers and magazines.
Merle; and eventually your grandchildren will enjoy them in their turn.
Vicki; spelling errors mostly go unnoticed here. I like the idea of your head and heart filled with fairytales and fables. You'll be a great fireside storyteller when your grandchildren come to sleep at Grandma's place one day. Like the story teller of long ago, who travelled from town to town with his tales.
Ah, this comes into conflict with my desire to declutter! But I am keeping favorite books and the sweaters my grandmother knitted. Now I want them to go to my grandchildren. :-)
