Shari and I were at Hallmark on Friday and were looking at the Christmas ornaments. We found this "blast from the past" Fisher Price house that is exactly the same as the ones we had in childhood...down to the wooden people and little doorbell. I can remember spending many hours pretending and playing and I loved how the garage would open and the doorbell would ring. The Fisher Price toys of today are not classics like this. Even as we got older, I remember opening the shower curtain that covered the shelves in our basement bathroom and seeing it sitting there. Just writing about this takes me back to 27th Place and happy childhood memories. I can even smell the musty smell of the basement and feel the carpet under my feet.What I wouldn't give to have just a few hours to be able to go back in time and enjoy the childhood and innocence of playing with my Fisher Price house...most likely, with Tami by my side and Todd coming down to see what we were up to with his blankey and stuffed animal.
