Things Thursday
I love this photograph at Disarranging Mine. I've been looking at it since she posted it. I especially love the pea coat on the little girl and the fielder’s glove on the boy next to her. My first baseball glove looked like that. It was my dad's originally. I hated it then because it wasn't new or modern like the ones all of my friends and teammates had. He got me another one almost immediately but I think that old glove is kinda cool now. Mom probably still has it. Mom? It was at least 30 years old (I’m only assuming it was new when he got it) but my recollection of it was that it was hardly used. Dad was more of a football guy than a baseball guy.
I’m a little sad about this. TravelingMermaid is a delight. AllTheBest, TM, from CrabAppleLane.

Everybody loves them, and deservedly so. You go in and beat them, you might as well go and beat up Mother Teresa - you know, 'You scums, what are you doing here?"

Quote from said blog: "The Ravens may have defeated San Diego, but the Chargers delivered the game plan on how to beat the Ravens' defense."

No, I don't have that baseball glove. Can't think where it might have ended up. Re that picture: I have a picture of Uncle Mark taken about the same year in which he could be a twin of the oldest fellow. I don't know what the deal was with those hats. I have a picture of Uncle Pat, too, wearing one of those hats or maybe they were called helmets.
I had that glove only in the form of roller skates, handed down from mom. It's funny, I still have them and they weigh about four pounds each. Recently, I threatened to turn them into lamps.
