Reading all these posts sure brought back memories of things I had forgotten. Yep, did the potholders, the embroidery, sewed all my clothes...still have the entire set of Nancy Drew books! My siblings and I used to play "fort" in the small space between the houses - lugging back boxes from the appliance store on the corner to make the buildings. I also played "teacher" in the back patio. Had a big chalkboard and I'd arrange the patio furniture into a school room and "teach" my imaginary students. My mother still kids me about that to this day!

And I wonder how much my old stamp and coin collection is worth now???
