They are still useful though.

I went there most summers as a kid and could sleep at night in the campground when I heard those bears in the garbage cans.

I used to have a chair like that and it was so comfy..wish I still had it.<br /> I also wanted to thank you for your help with my posting problem. I did everything I knew to do..and I believe you're right on the html. Somehow I had to either leave something open..or not close right. I just know it was a mess..it eventually added slashes through every word on my blog.. and when I took off the button to VTT and the html to Coloradolady..the problem cleared up immediately..so whatever I did wrong, I just continued to make that mistake.<br />Again, thank you for helping me..it was ever so sweet of you to take the time..Happy VTT..have a wonderful weekend..CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00891779704598948728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645573232665842025.post-71864761501033672942010-07-01T09:19:39.541-05:002010-07-01T09:19:39.541-05:00Your vintage winnings are fabulous!!

The closest I've ever come to the bear-raiding scene is watching Yogi and Boo Boo scarf down a few pickanic baskets (<-- good ol' Yogi-speak!) in Jellystone Park.<br /><br />Love the thermos set! I call its pattern "Barbie Plaid." The neighbor girl, who I played Barbies with when I was a smitch, had a Midge who owned a small, round red cooler like that. "Midge" said it once belonged to Barbie, till <i>she</i> got her hands on it. Midge was wicked, I tell ya. All in all, I like picnic sets like that. Not so much Midge, though.<br /><br />P.S.
