I'm glad to be reminded, thank you ... and I *adore* all your old pictures.
oh, zo. that means more than you know. your writing drew me in. that was 2003. loved it then...love it now. thanks.
is that child your very self? being a child of the bay area i have of course ridden that merry-go-round (as my family refers to those rides).
I saw those horses and had to "Google" this one up...Herschell-Spillman 4-row built in 1914! Still active! :o)Some newer photos from the "Carousel Association":http://www.nca-usa.org/psp/GoldenGate/ Also there is a link to her history...Thank you for the smile this brought me!alan
What a beautiful old carousel, although like Roger, I've always called it a Merry go Round too!
Roger, can't be annie - she's a 1957 baby!I love the gloves!Having ourselves is all that we do have, really, and that's pretty tenuous sometimes. "I'd rather be a free man in my grave...." Jimmy Cliff
Great quote and especially important to remember these days.
Owning and knowing thyself... great concepts that many don't follow any more.
I love the way the two ladies are caught mid-grasp as the child is either about to step on or is stepping off the carousel.
Thanks for the profound quote. Words to live by. :)
