Old Orchard Beach

Now that the tourists are gone, it is time for others to enjoy the beach.

Here are a few of the cars from the rear.

Hurricane Bill

Before the days of television's Weather Channel and storm trackers, folks relied on their barometers. As you can see, a hurricane is accurately being recorded.

Pendant

Yesterday I finished beading this pendant. The center portion is a piece of beach glass.

Toys

My Dad has become a blogger and can be found at http://www.dave-davestime.blogspot.com/ He has been posting about children's toys and what he played with as a child. They played with knives, while his "proper" little girls, opted for guns. Below is a collection that I still have.

Ammo required was nothing more than a ping pong ball.

Not only did we (and still do, upon occasion) enjoy playing with these guns, the nephews and brother-in-laws have also gotten into the act.

P.S. - I just did a search to check on these toy guns (K-Gun) and the first thing that came up was an e-bay site (three days left to bid) with a current bid of $45 for a single gun. Hmm.

messages

Are you familiar with the message banners pulled by airplanes? Here at the beach they are popular. Today we had:

1. Rosa Linda's - full breakfast - 2 eggs bacon - $3.99

2. Mark, happy 40th birthday

3. Lobsta Claw - lobster rolls - ribs

4. I'm sorry. I love you.
