I never played with dolls. I thought they were boring. I liked my books and my bicycle and my baseball bat and ball. I still like my books but I traded the baseball for a golf ball. :)

As a kid, I had a wonderful collection of Barbie stuff (still have the game and the first car. Our dolls and all their clothes were stolen). I loved playing sports (volleyball, basketball, softball) in elementary/junior high years.
As an adult, it would be remiss of me to say anything except my bowling equipment.

This doll here was my favorite, her name was Velvet and she had a sister named Chrissy.You could make their hair grow by pressing a button on their back.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I loved my pogo stick, I was very, very good. I’d still use one if I could find one that would hold me……….

I liked doll houses. Still LOVE houses and have lived in many types all over California/
I liked my pen and good quality paper and I loved painting.and drawing. I'm still the same.I liked to play with my friends and my dolls. I longed to have a large family but it didn't happen so I opened our home to other people's children. I had a daycare/preschool for most of my HAR working years.
Olf course I played doctor/nurse games/Grew up and worked for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons for a couple of years - not good where the bandages were involved.
I used my Mom's typewriter and wanted to work for a newspaper like her and my dad. I did that too.
That was an eye-opening experiment, tabber. Oh yes, I liked basketball and running ... Had a beautiful track right by our house when I grew up.

My mom wouldn't buy me Lincoln Logs, or Mr. Potato Head,or anything I asked for. I wanted the doll that was trendy at the time called " Betsy Wetsy " and " Tiny Tears " but no such luck. I wanted a pedal car so bad. She always said " No, it costs too much " Ditto for my dad. I wanted a transister radio and he said he went into a store to look at them, and " do you know how much they cost !?? 10 dollars !! " Then, he turned on his heal and walked out of my room.......b/c $10 was a lot of money in the '50s

Our little city had a toy store, the owner being David Bagdasarian's brother (David Seville of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore/CHIPMUNKS fame). Every time there was new Barbie stuff, Harry (Harry's Toy Store, Selma's Happiest Corner) would call my dad to tell him and Dad would put us in the car, drive to town, and buy whatever Harry showed him. Spoiled to the n-th degree, with stuff.
