Best Gift You Received as a Child
What was the best gift you received as a child? I know you could take this many directions but I’m going to stay with a toy theme. Is there a that one toy you will always remember? I was born in 1980, a decade to the start of some amazing toys! Remember the beginning of Care Bears, Cabbage Patch Dolls or Transformers? It was an amazing time to be a child! Many toys from the 80’s have even been brought back.
One of the best gifts I received as a child was a bicycle. Yes, that’s me in the picture above! Don’t you love that gorgeous green and yellow carpet? I can still remember that carpet! My parents still live in the same farm house (built in the late 1800’s) I grew up in, minus that gorgeous carpet. I rode that bicycle everywhere, everyday. Did you notice it’s a Strawberry Shortcake bicycle? My brother, sister and I rode all the time… until I got a horse. I rode my horse everyday rain, snow or shine. I still have scars from bike wrecks. If you were a bike rider like I was as a kid I’m sure you know what it feels like to have your mom pull gravel from under your skin!
Besides my real horses I also had a wooden rocking horse. The one in the pic was too small… obviously! I rocked and rocked on that thing. I still have it minus any hair! I’m pretty certain my younger sister done the damage to it.
