My Dad and Mom used to dabble in a little woodworking; they never had the tools like you'd find in a work shop, but they had enough to do what they wanted to do.  They didn't make much stuff, just a few things.  I only have one of the things Dad made; it is a Popup Linkpicture frame with my Popup Linkname on it.  It never had much of a back to it; it was just paper and that was torn off long ago.  I still hang on to this, though, and one day I guess my grandkids will have it.

This isn't quite that old, nor as sentimental, but my Mom gave me Popup Linkthis about 9 or 10 years ago.  I don't know how old Popup Linkshe is, for there's no date on her.  I just know it's been a while since I've seen a wind-up doll with the winder in the doll's Popup Linkbottom.  This, too will go to my grandkids (probably Kayla; don't think Cody will want it!)

This isn't anything to do with the theme, but I did capture  Popup Linkthis today sitting along side the interstate.  I'm really surprised he didn't fly off when we pulled up, but he sat there for a few minutes before he'd had enough of getting his picture taken!

Hope y'all enjoy!



 
  • Hmmmm... all these years and I've been looking for the key in the wrong place. Be glad you weren't a field mouse when you rolled the window down to take that last one. We would never have heard from you again!! Nice shot.

    Thanks for that link, John! It still doesn't say when the dolls were made, but, that's all right. From the price on her, she's not very popular. Still doesn't lessen her in my eyes. Thanks, again!
