Trains Planes and Automobiles

Today is a resting day from moving. I reheated some spaghetti for lunch and looked about for what next to move next week. Since this is Christmas we usually have a train set around the tree but their packed up so I looked at my husbands train room which he has dismantled and saw an old Erector Set Train. I am not sure how many people remember playing with erector sets but you could make anything from them. So from 1928-1937 the A.C . Gilbert company made them. So some Dad or kid put this train together. You could also put an engine in them to make them run. I wish this train could tell it’s story

This big old train has some rust spots but it is a testament to how good toys last. Toys made years ago lasted for ever especially boys toys but now it seems things are cheaply made and I wonder if someone else will be able to enjoy them years later.

Planes remind me of my daughter who is in Florida at Disney world. She called me yesterday to tell me how crowded it was. Crowded I have her two grand dogs here. Lol and Maulie and Morris and boxes everywhere but my front room which is my designated Christmas sanctuary.
I am going to two Christmas parties on Tuesday. One is my Country Loft rug hooking day group party. The other is my night Donna Rug hooking group party. It should be fun!

Automobiles …..


Is what I hope to do this week. There is a really neat Christmas home lighted show in East county on Jingle bell hill. You trail up a hill and every house is lighted up for Christmas. Your literally in line with cars inching up this hill block after block. I love it people are in their front yards watching all the cars and folks have bonfires going it’s so much fun. We take Maulie and she hangs out the window staring at everyone.
