Cars and memories

He found this while clearing the garden and happily gave it to his daughter. I looked at this toy and imagined how it brought my husband joy as a child. Then my thoughts turned to the mini car my cousins and I used to play with when we were young.It was blue and we somehow took our turn to be pushed and went round and round the front yard.There were so much fun and laughter amidst the dust caused by never-ending running and pushing. We were sharing not only this beat down blue car but also a precious time together. And yes-we took turn without hesitation nor grudge because we have learned to be patient otherwise we would not be able to ride and be pushed again.

Those were the days! but I can still hear laughter and feel the heat of the sun. I could see how uncomplicated our world had been, how as youngters we enjoyed ordinary things and not worry. We were living in that moment and without knowing it this blue car was shaping our lives. We laughed at simple thing, we played, we shared and we created a special moment.

How about you? Any car and memory to share?

Hello my sister-in-law!
I remember very well this car, and I remember it belonged to my brother as if he was playing with it yesterday.
I just wonder who left it in the garden and by which miracle it appeared again after more than 30 years.
Some people find eggs in april, some other find memories.

How true!

"Some people find eggs in april, some other find memories".

Those memories are something which can make us realize that life can be simple and uncomplicated if we want to.

Hello there....

Really you cannot imagine things. Its wonderful to remember all the memories. But sometimes it hurts and on the other side its full of happiness. Medyo napaluha nga ako eh, siguro mga marami din akong hidden memories.

Kisses to Karen n Erin
Lots of fun toys, fun memories. Just Saturday, my old army men were a big hit! Our dad made a jeep for us that 4 could ride in at once while two pushed. It was great! I'm sure your daughter will enjoy that truck too.

Here's the link to my jeep post:

Stopping by from SITS

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

I wonder...

How can I stop looking up the sky? With it's beauty that never ceases to amaze me.

Light in the sky

For a long time I am fascinated by the sky, but this has been fuelled up when I joined Sky Watch Friday . I am really thankful for this!
