My mom and I met with her friend at a local restaurant. (I’m sorry, I don’t remember its name.)

The restaurant adjoins a large antique store.

It’s fun to look at vintage stuff!

Life has changed a lot in the past 150 years.

Raggedy Ann…

On my kindle, I downloaded the original Raggedy Ann book. Its e-book is free because it is so old that its copyright has expired. I was surprised at how much I liked it! Some of the really old children’s book are marvelous—-I mean, after all, there was a reason that these books and their characters became so famous!

(If you don’t own a kindle, it is probably available online at a public domain book website.)

Currently I am reading “Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry” which was published in 1976. It is another book I wholeheartedly recommend. (Though the subject matter isn’t as light as the Raggedy Ann book.)

Croquet—(see the mallets?) Reminds me of “Alice in Wonderland.” Another wonderful old book.
