I kick myself everything I remember getting rid of mine. I'm going to have to visit that place someday. I get close to Wharton from time to time, so it's doable. On the other hand, maybe I should stay away. I'm not sure I could control myself.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-22922788593065767962021-04-12T08:49:08.788-05:002021-04-12T08:49:08.788-05:00that's not even all the pedal cars. there were...that's not even all the pedal cars. there were an equal number I didn't photograph. two more day trips planned before our brother heads back home.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-69782267008643616592021-04-12T08:30:00.656-05:002021-04-12T08:30:00.656-05:00Ellen!

Ducks are so sociable, quacking about all day long. <br />I love the pedal cars! They are beautifully restored. <br />I'm with Boud concerning the possible need for marbles. And with Steve on the disgusting sodas. They are a big nope for me.<br />How nice that you're getting to get out and about, see things, do things. Thank you for sharing with us.

I didn't realize how much I missed seeing what treasures (and dubious things) you unearth there. Those oyster shells are truly perplexing. Who's going to pay money for those?
