A Visit to A Toy Store and More

I haven’t been blogging much lately. I don’t know if I’m just being lazy or what. And when I have posted about any trips I’ve taken this summer, I mostly just share pictures and not the long stories I used to write. But maybe you like just pictures instead of my ramblings anyway. Let me know.

            I’m going to try to start writing more, whether you find that boring or not. I’ll still always try to include pictures.

            The last road trip I took was to see my friend Julie in Minnesota the weekend of Sept 29.

            On Saturday, she took me to Lark Toys, which is a huge toy store, but is also way more. 

               

   First inside is Memory Lane, with multiple displays of toys from the past.

All of us older adults kept pointing to toys, exclaiming, “I had that when I was a kid.” And any of today’s kids who were being dragged along were like, “Where’s the Nintendo?”          

               But I think everyone likes a carousel. I don’t care how old or young you are.       

 

An otter for me.

               And a loon for my sister Judy.   

            Oh, hello there, Mr. Stegosaurus.              

 And of course, it’s autumn, so everywhere outside, there were pumpkins and mums, haybales and corn stalks.           

     Happy Autumn, Everyone. I only wished it didn’t mean that winter is next.
