a buck and a half for the exact same lunch box and thermos I remember getting at honest Ed's back in the fall of '70 with my Dad..

and yes of course .. it's something , ELSE  "mom" disappeared one day while everyone was out

a few years ago I was looking at a stucco lotus F1 car on ebay

as I looked at the various pics I noticed , nay,  FELT the front end with it's paint chips looked really familiar...

then I recognized the "key" that removes the wheel nuts...then I realized mom was a ... more a piece of work than maybe I already knew..

yeah the price on that was $650

- I'm also missing a mid 60's fisher price ferris wheel - with character figures and a really nice RCMP mountie on a horse

and all my stuffed animals that were in a drawer of a dresser full of my stuff in the basement

one day , oddly it was empty - just that drawer

- guess she was confused as to what I would one day miss .. or not 

and I'm STILL waiting for my great grandfather's WWI medals to be returned by her and dad's executor...for four years so far

- at least I found his picture , the original of him in his hospital bed with the King & Queen standing beside during one of their many visits to the wards

wounded three times . once for each of "our" great battles
