I think I may have three different versions of Swiss Army Knives hidden somewhere in the hoard, but none of them are quite as vintage as the one pictured above. LOL.

Thanks for sharing that one!!!

One of the original "Happy Faces" that appears to have enjoyed a rather long and obviously hard life! He (or she, as the case may be) looks tired.

Beach Bunnies under glass...now that is effective social distancing!

Or had too much to drink.

LOL. Paraphrasing Roy Scheider's character in the movie Jaws, "We're going to need a bigger can of RaidWasp and Hornet Spray!"

Let's see now....the young man with his head on the pillow is thinking deep thoughts about great adventures yet to be experienced, while his best friend rests his concerned head on the gentleman;s blanket and his most prized possessions; a baseball, his YO-yo, his Colonel Littleton Possibles bag and not surprisingly, a few loose marbles rest on the window sill above his head. Life is good...contemplative, but good!

A beautiful image that says so much.

The computer age has opened up a world of information unimagined by previous generations.

But as the sun rose on computers and the internet it also set on something meaningful that can never be regained.

I'm about to turn 59 and I can say without a doubt that if I had to put my finger on one thing about growing up that I am most grateful for, it would be having no computers in my life.

Maybe the most photographed lighthouse in all of America...

Comissioned by George Washington. My 4th grade teacher's husband was the keeper and one spring day Mrs. Burns took nine-year old me and the other dozen kids in my class up into the ever-winding iron staircase to the tippy-top of that thing. Not for the squeamish, of which I was. And may be still.

Reading your post above, I suspect your 4th grade teacher, Mrs Burns, would have been one of my heros...the type from whom we could learn so much!

Sixty members of the Secret Service are in quarantine because 31 of them have tested positive for CORVID. Gentlemen, we are two ventilators away from the first woman president . . . and the White House sent the ventilators to Russia.
