RIDE ON TOYS SALE. CHILD RIDING TOYS. Ride On Toys Sale
BHFC March #11 Vivid Memory Kalamazoo, Mich. Ok, so when I was about 5 or so, a kid that lived down the street from me invited me to go with him and his parents for a walk. We were going to ride our Big Wheels! Sounded great! So I go home to get my Big Wheel, and slide back down the hill to his house and I knock on the door and I knock and knock and no one answers. What the hell?! So being the independent spirit that I was at age 5, I figure, f$@# it, I'll go by my self! So I start heading off down Burdick street on my Big Wheel towards downtown. Well apparently someone that knew me and knew my mom saw me on an adventure maybe not quite fit for a 5 year old, so they phone my house. Around the time I'm passing by KD Sales, my mom rolls up in the car, and needless to say, she was less than pleased. Got some good time alone to think about that one. I've never been inside, and I think it may be closed now. Having spent a great deal of time growing up in the vicinity of this place though, it would be yet another piece of "my Kalamazoo" erased should this place go away. H.M Queen Elizabeth on Ayres rocking horse
This is a postcard photo of Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret riding two up on their aunt's Ayres rocking horse. Unusually, the horse is ''plain carved'' and one would have expected the Royals to have had an extra carved model. Now and then one sees ''ex royal rocking horses for sale'' but provenance is always the thing-and any such ads should be treated with utmost caution!
