vintage childrens hankie The Dionne Quintuplets

Sunday, May 24, 2009

Wonderful red children’s hankie with the pictures of Marie, Emilie, Cecile, Annette and Yvonne Dionne…The Dionne quintuplets were born during the depression on May 28, 1934. They are the worlds first known surviving quintuplets. I asked Jeeves about their history, and boy is it sad. The Canadian government took the babies away from their parents and built a hospital to take care of them and to study them. The parents finally won them back at age 9 in a law suit.

Gold Toe® Over-the-Calf Athletic Socks - XL 13-15

Saturday, May 16, 2009

These make Shorty feel like a kid again. I used to borrow Dad’s socks when all of mine were dirty. His feet were a lot bigger, and his socks pulled way up over my knees. Of course, Shorty’s feet grew and grew, and eventually my feet were bigger than Dad’s, but now that he’s is gone, when I wear these socks I always think of him. Thanks for the memories, Dad.

58 1958 Baseball Glove Vintage

Friday, May 1, 2009

I wanted to play ball so bad that my neighbor whom was coach of a little league team took me on dispite the fact that I didn’t own a glove. I sat on the bench for every game because of it and I was heartbroken not to be able to play. I frequently came home with bruised hands from practicing without a glove and when my uncle found out that my parents could not afford a glove for me, he gave me this glove.
