Today was a dreary, rainy lil day so, I decided to do some cleaning up ’round these here parts. I did find a few interesting things though. Here’s what I found:
…for those of you just too young to know, it’s a RECORD HOLDER. Back in the dinosaur days, we used to play records and we’d line them up in this little thingy here.
and check this out…
Yes, it’s an 8-track tape of the Average White Band…wow. I remember my 8-track player…it was so cute and red…AND BIG.
Going though some toys, I found this…
A Transformer. No, this is not the new ones they have out today…this one has a date of 1984 on the back. It belonged to my brother, The Oracle…who’s now in his mid 30’s.
This little tape here, belonged to our Atari System. Anyone remember those?
…and a Sega Genesis tape…
Super Nintendo here…
Something from ole’ Kaiser which shut down in the early 80’s….
And my most coveted find is right here….
My mother’s autograph book from when she was in school…wow. It’s dated 1947. There’s even a page in there where my dad wrote something to her. I think I’m going to have that page framed.
It seems that, a very young Ali also wanted to put something in it….
OMG that’s too funny. Apparently, I was working on my penmanship… and my thoughts (success is the key to education)…and my spelling (your “litter” girl.)
Well, that’s all I did today…just cleaned out a bunch of stuff around the house and ended up finding some neat little surprises along the way.
*smooches*
