crochet a bouquet of flowers


These flowers are a snap to crochet. They require little yarn so you can use up scraps. I like to crochet them when I am visiting my grandchildren. The flowers keep me busy when I get bored and when the kids ignore me. Often they will check in with me to watch my progress. I always give the flowers away, and sometimes just leave them laying around to be discovered. Who doesn’t like a flower?  
Pattern here.


More crochet.

photo gallery of old-time store-front kiddie rides


During my many visits to Jackson Heights in Queens, New York, I’ve discovered some wonderful old-time kiddie rides outside in front of shops. They wait patiently for someone to insert a few quarters for a ride. Sometimes it is a very long wait. The rides include horses, a dinosaur, and an elephant.
See the photo gallery.

I’ve also discovered that these artifacts from the past still exist in other neighborhoods, too, and in many other places around the world. So I also have a yellow elephant from Manhattan’s Chinatown, a taxi from the Santa Monica Pier in Southern California, and a quarter horse from Amarillo, Texas.

Do some still exist in your neighborhood, too?

1920s Dodge car hits the bumpy road


Don't try this at home with a modern car! Looks like they made cars a little more sturdy back in the day. This Dodge Brothers sedan from the 1920s drives over bumpy dirt and mud roads with ease. Eventually it lands at a gushing oil well.
