I think I liked the wrapping as much as the gift inside.

My 5th birthday on Locust Street in Denver. The Mickey Mouse record player was used hour after hour for years. I still have it. Well, of course I do. And the felt doll, most of the metal dish set, and the Fisher Price school bus with most of the little people.

I even have the cake stand and white handled cake knife.

Oh, the dress too. Mom sewed the dress. Was there nothing she couldn’t do?

That red horse is the wrapping for Silver, The Lone Ranger’s horse.

How cool is my mom?

Time for a wardrobe change.

Such a dork. 

My dress is caught in the wheels of the Fisher Price school bus.
