Dream Rides

At the Henry Ford Museum, you can imagine

there would be many great cars.  I picked out

the three I would like to own.

This VW Westfalia has always been a dream,

I remember looking at one at the VW dealership

when I was a child and dreaming even then.

If I ever get to live on Longboat Key, I 

want something like this to drive up to the 

north end to watch the sunset each night.

As a teenager I spent a lot of time in a VW bug.

My sister and I drove all over the eastern US 

and Canada.  Her bug was Texas yellow ~ loved it.

Kitchens

I visited the Henry Ford Museum recently and

of course, I was drawn to the display of kitchens

through the years.

I wish I could have been a Kitchen

Anthropologist, I love to research

all the gadgets and wares of the various

time periods.

Though I wouldn't want to live with

a pump and a dry sink, I still like the

look of it.

Looking through these displays, I realized

I own or have owned some of these pieces.

I loved the 1930's kitchen,  I would not 

want to cook in this in my busy life I lead

everyday but if I had a cottage I could escape

to and spend hours whipping up meals,

this kitchen would be perfect for me.

That sink is one that got away for me...

Years ago before I had a house, before I

was married, I saw that sink on the trash

pile of St. Mark's Church in my hometown.

I said to my sister I want that to be my

kitchen sink someday!  We tried to pick it 

up and even though we were young, healthy

and strong, we could not move it an inch.  It

weighed a ton!  I still dream of having that

sink ~ someday...
