Day 79.  How cool is this.  I remember playing with this at my granny's house.  It is a toothpick holder.  You can't see it from the picture, but on the end of his nose is two little points that stab a toothpick when you push his head down.  When he comes up there is your toothpick.  So you only touch the one you will use.  But I liked it so much I would take the toothpick off and then get another.  When the holder was empty I would put them back and start again.  When my grandparents passed away mom asked if there was anything that I really wanted.  This was it.  Now it sits in our china cabinet with my nativity sets and Stacy's Precious Moments collection.  We spent all day at a Junior Bible Quiz meet and while I did take some pictures they weren't ones I could post here.  I don't like posting pictures of other people's kids, especially without permission.  Anyway, when I got home I was looking around for a shot and found this.  He brought back some cool memories.  I may not have inherited a fortune in gold, but what I did get is worth more than any amount of gold.

  1. I LOVED that little guy. While we were at the fair a few weeks ago, recognized so many dishes and afghans that I had seen over the years. The kids thought I was REALLY old! It does bring back vivid memories. Thanks for sharing!
