When I reached the photo of your mum's roller skates, I had a huge smile on my face as they were practically the same pair as I had. Like your mum, I adored my skates. They were my favourite toy, so we must be of a similar age. I wore mine when I was about 9years of age and living in Yorkshire, England. Thank you for the memory. I hadn't thought about the skates for years. Best Wishes from India (I'm still on holiday).

How wonderful that your mother was able to keep these wonderful things. I don't have any of mine and I wish I did. There was quite a span of age difference between my older sister and brother and my brother, who was 18 months older than me, and me, the youngest in the family. As a result, the brother next to me and I were the ones who played together. Our favorite things was playing with the six-shooters and riding on the arms of my mother's rocking chair as if they were horses. Wonder if we were the only ones who ever did that?
