Age with love

While we were in Tennessee, at the campground we stayed at, there was a lodge. A 'lodge' as in, where you can hang out, chat, and do other things in a much bigger space than your cabin. In this lodge, there was a piano. Not just any piano; this piano has been loved so much, and you can see it.

We are loved. Can others see it?

I love old pianos, but when you come across one that has been this loved, you can't help but to stop and play it, knowing that it has made many a happy face in ages past.

Don't forget your goggles!

It's summer time, it's scorching outside (at least here), and you want to cool off. You probably think, 'Hey, maybe I can go to the pool!', but then you start to wonder about it, because you lost your goggles last summer and don't want to go to Wal-Mart to buy another pair. I have an easy solution. If you own an old house (been occupied by other folk before you), go run upstairs and look in the attic. You just might have the privilege of owning a vintage pair of goggles! I have a lovely blue pair, that my stuffed animal Danny Dog was willing to model for you.

The house we bought a few months ago, happens to have quite a "collection" of old stuff, and I found these in a box of toys in the garage. Who knows how long the box was there or what has been in it... . I absolutely love coming across old things like this. At first, I thought these might've just been super-hero goggles or something, but then a few weeks ago my Dad gave me the idea they might be old swimming goggles! And, I just noticed this morning that they truly are.

Let me warn you though, I've tried on these goggles just for fun, and they certainly aren't the most comfortable pair ever. But if you're desperate... :) Who knows what you'll find in the attic (or garage).

Well well well

This weekend, my Mother and youngest sister have gone away to visit friends, and will be back tomorrow afternoon. They went somewhere in Texas(I'm not telling you where though=P), and they hopefully will bring me back an awesome cowgirl hat. They might bring back boots, but I doubt it because they're probably really expensive. Anywho. This weekend I reorganized my bookshelf in my room. Here's a picture, even though it's not very interesting.



So yeah. I'll point out some interesting things in my old things collection. First, you'll notice my record collection, (bottom shelf, left side), the two that you can see are the Goofy Greats album, and the hit TV show theme song record. Amongst the other records in my collection, I have two John Travolta albums, one Shaun Cassidy album, numerous Bobby Sherman albums, a few Evie albums, and a few random others. All of those are inherited from either my Mother, or my uncle.

Then you might see my $10 garage sale vintage Polaroid camera. I think it is awesome, but I haven't tried it yet to see if it works...



Then you'll see my Mother's old camera from when she was a girl. (sorry the pic is sideways)



I also have some old speaker thing in the shape of a cassette (remember those things?) They were my Fathers but not anymore. :P


Next, my wonderful Father found an original floppy disk, and he brought it home for me. :)


So yeah, then I found this Addiator thingamajig and a garage sale, and I have no idea how it works or what it's for or how much it's worth. :P But it being old and all, I had to buy it.


Anyway, that's pretty much all I have to say today. My fam is watching the US/Canada gold medal hockey game, which is like AWESOME. (not really...)
