October 15- More Toys and Childhood Fun-Part 1
Mike and I always shared our toys and games. Well, I played
with more of his stuff than he did with mine. He really wasn’t into dolls and
Barbies. He did like my stuffed animal characters.
Some of these were
officially both of ours, like the games - Boggle, Yahtzee, Uno, Checkers,
Chinese checkers, Dominoes (Mom’s), Pokeno, Toss Across, Husker Du, Uncle
Wiggly, Travel Scrabble, Auto Bingo ( country and city
versions), Rubik’s Cube, The Missing Link, The Pyramid, and Backgammon.
We had a game
called Popcorn that my friend Barbara gave me. Mike and Cousin Rick took the
motor out of this and put it on Mike’s model ship. We’ve only ever seen Rick
twice; he’s just one day older than my brother.
We have 3 sizes of
both our Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and each have a Winnie the Pooh small
stuffed animal. Chip the Pound Puppy was a gift for the 2 of us but I became
her owner quickly. I have a smaller one of these that is her daughter.
Magic Slate, a
yo-yo, the hula hoop, kites (“Let’s Go Fly a Kite”), kaleidoscope, jacks,
marbles, See n’ Say- Farm edition, A Barrel of Monkeys, puzzles, Tupperware
connecting blocks with little animals, Chinese yo-yos, Yes& Know books, and bubbles are other things that we enjoyed.
