WOW. The city that never sleeps. We stayed at The Monte Carlo hotel. I have never seen such a busy place. Usually when you go to sign up for a room it does not take too long. Not here. The line up had about 150 other people waiting in line to get their room keys. The room is similar to a basic hotel room. I think you can upgrade to a more opulent room but we didn't know. I would have complained about the ice machine out of service all week, on our floor (about 100 rooms) but the line up for the concierge desk was always lined up. Nevertheless the people working there were very nice. We had a ton of fun in the casino. The complementary tickets we got from the airlines,West Jet, were the best. They were for the Cirque du Soleil show, Beatles Love. Words cannot express how great this performance is. MAGNIFICO!!! Karen and I were completely in awe. Wish we could have taken pictures but were not allowed. We highly recommend this excellant performance. <br />

I was jusr about to start reading an old "Western" paperback book when this coupon fell out of the pages. It was probably used by the last reader as a page marker. I recognized this coupon because I saw them when they first came out in 1971. It is interesting to see that if you purchased $3.00 worth of fuel you would receive a coupon. When you had 4 coupons you would turn them in to get a 9 ounce "Old Fashioned" glass. WOW!! Three dollars of gas at that time was equal to about 10 gallons. Nowadays three dollars will get you about one half gallon. The times they are a changing.</div>

In 1983 I was entered into the Chedoke Hospital Evaluation Centre in Hamilton, Ontario for a six week program. They would put me in different work situations to evaluate what I would be good at when and if I entered the work force again. I had been in a severe car accident in September of 1980, ( May 27th posting ) and had sold my Dempsters Bread franchise as I could no longer do the extreme physical work it entailed. I stayed in a motel for the duration and would return home on the weekends. While in Hamilton I would go to various eateries for my meals. One night I decided to have my supper at a restraunt in this big hotel. As I was dining I noticed two young women continually looking at me. I was a little self conscious because in the past several years I've had a lot of "plastic surgery" and dental work. I had also done a lot of exercise and weightlifting to come back to a bit over 200 pounds from 135 pounds. Anyway the next thing I knew these two women were at my table and asked me if I would give them an autograph. I told them that I didn't know why they would want one. They said that they knew that the Hamilton Tiger Cat football team was staying in this hotel and that by the looks and size of me I must be one. I told them that I was not a player and did not want to fool them. They were sorry that they had made the mistake and bothered me. I informed them that they had not bothered me but instead had paid me a great compliment. After they left I sat with my coffee and had a smile from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat, but not a Tiger Cat. I was on the road to recovery.Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17661629834855439450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480126423987015286.post-30226313101992728972012-09-03T08:01:00.001-07:002012-09-03T08:03:43.666-07:00YAHOO FOR MOUNTAIN DEW, POP BOTTLE COLLECTING<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWBLzcJZqIwBqQ_hRcNCxucJfOXkz2IU4k7bl1IWrRfUEzV6WqS2_HNRGhsE7mdQjZXGMbCQuikoYjxa0_PrFpIMj8Lys61Jtzdv1uQEF3ZNJyrbyFxLSoSjQoHBbBCNqA-EnQ0C3I64/s1600/Pete's+Toys+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fea="true" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlWBLzcJZqIwBqQ_hRcNCxucJfOXkz2IU4k7bl1IWrRfUEzV6WqS2_HNRGhsE7mdQjZXGMbCQuikoYjxa0_PrFpIMj8Lys61Jtzdv1uQEF3ZNJyrbyFxLSoSjQoHBbBCNqA-EnQ0C3I64/s640/Pete's+Toys+006.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Remember when we used to go pop bottle collecting so that we could get a few cents to buy penny candies. I do. A friend of mine from California recently reminded me of the times when we would walk along the sides of well travelled roads searching for bottles that were thrown from car windows. Two cents was the worth of each bottle. Five bottles would pay for a chocolate bar or 20 blackballs. Mountain Dew bottles were a favorite back then in the 1950's and 60's. I came across this bottle a few weeks ago at a Flea market. A lot of us kids bought this pop because of the silly commercials on TV. This is for you Bobby of California. This bottle was filled by Jim and Clara.<br />

Did you know? When prospector Ed Schieffelin told a soldier he wanted to prospect for silver in an area controlled by Apaches, the soldier laughed and told him the only thing he'd find there was his own tombstone. When he found a giant vein of silver in 1878, Schieffelin named the mining camp Tombstone to spite the soldier. That is how Tombstone, Arizona came to be named.Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17661629834855439450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480126423987015286.post-25879406133027729312012-08-24T09:21:00.002-07:002012-08-30T10:50:58.356-07:00MY GARDENS, JULY 2012, "GARDEN OF EDEN"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Uk4y2lmkEUWcgNcu4EG6rvxouB-K6WQCV2Cnk5Ul6uaqcvv7ZxY-A9ffMFnvpGVsHp8L4WfquqjjaypK7U_JyxhPgh3WP-NRDBag2846Kp5ncYSUsKrVCLbbw2zkyZcMTIyXMhN5s_U/s1600/Gardens+july+2012+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Uk4y2lmkEUWcgNcu4EG6rvxouB-K6WQCV2Cnk5Ul6uaqcvv7ZxY-A9ffMFnvpGVsHp8L4WfquqjjaypK7U_JyxhPgh3WP-NRDBag2846Kp5ncYSUsKrVCLbbw2zkyZcMTIyXMhN5s_U/s640/Gardens+july+2012+018.JPG" width="640" yda="true" /></a></div>Just thought I would update some pictures of our home and gardens. We didn't want the usual layout that people do, such as placing flower gardens around the border of the property. Sometimes you just have to go "out of the box". Hope you enjoy as much as we do.<br />

Remember when the milkman and the breadman would go door to door selling their wares. I do because I was a breadman. In 1964 when I was 12 years old I would help Bob Myles (and later John Hartwick, 2 terrific fellows) every Saturday on their bread route. I wore a "pouch" around my waist to collect money for whatever the customers would purchase.We would fill up our "basket"(2 feet by three feet with a handle) and carry it to the door of the home. Boy, that was heavy work for a kid back then but I was sure glad to get my $1.50 at the end of the day and maybe a "twofor" for myself and a choice of a nearly stale loaf that would be thrown out that day, for my family. We would then knock on the door and shout "baker" to announce that we were there. I shouted "baker" so much in those years that it started to sound like "beggar". We sold breads of all sorts and sizes, dinner rolls, pastries, butter tarts,eccles bars, cinnamon rolls and what we called "twofors". They were little packets of 2 butter tarts, 2 cupcakes or 2 of any snack for 10 cents. Some people would put signs in their windows saying,TOASTMASTER the name of the bread company (which meant they wanted bread or something) or a sign saying NO BREAD, to save us stopping. A lot of times we would check the milkbox (remember those?) for a note as to what to leave and we would mark in the "book" how much they owed us when we came to collect at the end of the week . I learned math real quick. The milk man had his hands full also. He too used the milkbox for messages so he would know what to leave. The wooden,5 inch by 5 inch adjustable order plaque is what some customers would use. I snatched this out a rummage sale and it brought back GOOD memories. Enjoy<br />

This is a flicker ring featuring a picture of John F. Kennedy and the American flag. Kids loved these in the early 1960's. I still do. He was the 35th president and the youngest at 43 to be elected into office. He is most commonly known by just his initials, JFK. I still remember the day(November 22nd ,1963) when he was assassinated by Lee Harvry Oswald. They let us out of school early so I knew this man must be important. Over the years I see him as a man that did not back down from other oppressive regimes or countries. He had balls. It would be nice to see other leaders in the free world take after him. That is my opinion and I'm stickin' to it.</div>

<br />
Curvette, Curvette-tall, slim, young,<br />
Oh Curvette, you are a pearl<br />
And there are others just like you<br />
All caught up in the dragstrip whirl<br />
<br />
You are there to help your man<br />
To cheer, to yell, to scream, to sigh<br />
And when his car finishes last<br />
We often see you cry<br />
<br />
Your's is a waiting game<br />
Complete with sacrifices and all<br />
Because he worked on his car<br />
You missed the high school ball<br />
<br />
But there are compensations<br />
To the game you wish to play<br />
Like when he's top eliminator<br />
You are Queen that day<br />
<br />
Sometimes you even make the magazines<br />
Oh yes, we see you next to the car<br />
And with those stretch pants, funny eyes,<br />
high hair----yes, you'll go far<br />
<br />
But as we watch we wonder<br />
To whom are you really true?<br />
Is it to him, dear Curvette<br />

Did You Know? Why do we say people have "skeletons in their closets" if they hide their past? The expression comes from a fairy tale about Bluebeard the pirate, who, legend has it, he murdered all his many wives. When he gave his new wife the keys to the house, he forbade her to open a specific closet at the end of a long hall-which, of course, she did the moment he left on business. When she unlocked the door and looked inside, she was horrified to find all the skeletons of Bluebeard's previous wives.Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17661629834855439450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480126423987015286.post-61495498525015658592012-03-15T07:41:00.000-07:002012-03-15T07:41:16.361-07:00VINTAGE 1950's RENWALL BUICK @ CHEVY DELIVERY TRUCK, HARD PLASTIC TOYS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_RzttiFIEqPP-C5-j-rbfat4i9BQFn1tUh3O92CixG6m0b3an9vUMsRAFetV4M2LVGvo4TYJFo0HVpFs64mb8QKi02I5_IUmBKet9aUnOsb3mrIvI4r30vSWP8B6QtgEe4RM7Nv0yJEk/s1600/petes+toys+034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_RzttiFIEqPP-C5-j-rbfat4i9BQFn1tUh3O92CixG6m0b3an9vUMsRAFetV4M2LVGvo4TYJFo0HVpFs64mb8QKi02I5_IUmBKet9aUnOsb3mrIvI4r30vSWP8B6QtgEe4RM7Nv0yJEk/s640/petes+toys+034.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">These two old hard plastic toys with white wheels were a mainstay in most sand boxes when I was growing up .

Thomas Alva Edisons inventions have made a HUGE impact on our world of today. This is just one of his many inventions. This record revolved on a turntable with a needle going through the grooves making the sound just like future record players would (remember those?). This round disc would play a song for just over 4 minutes at a speed of 160 RPM. The number on this song is 1538 and played the tune," I Will Love You When". It was manufactured in December of 1913.Other inventions by Edison are : the incandescent light bulb, kinetoscope, phonograph, motion picture camera and many more. He had over 1300 patents. Born in 1847 he died october 18, 1931 on the anniversary of the invention of the light bulb.<br />

This a newspaper that is original and is over 146 years old. This edition was printed three months after President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. The pictures are artist renderings since the camera was not widely used yet. The reading of this print is interesting as the way they spoke was a bit different from the way we communicate now. Their humor was also unique in its own way as it was mildly amusing. No George Carlson or Richard Prior back then. ( Example: When can a donkey be spelt with one letter? When it's U. Nothing personal meant.) One page even shows Paris Fashions for July. The only skin you can see are the faces and hands. The last pages are reserved for advertising. Examples :( Derby's Sure Cure For Piles), (Beautiful False Mustaches 50 cents and $1 per pair. Sent Free) ( Whisker and Mustache Potion to make it grow in 3 to 5 weeks on the smoothest face) ( Gold Rings $3 to $25 Each) (European Pocket Timekeeper $1)( Harpers Weekly Newspaper subscription for one year $4) (Paper Collars) (Old Eyes Made New , without spectacles, doctors or medicine, pamphlet mailed free upon receipt of 10 cents) Very interesting articles and scams as you can see. This was a period of time when the country was still in turmoil after the Civil war. It would take a long time before the country came to be what it is today.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

They were fun to build and paint the way you wanted them to appear. I made sure this little beach girl had some "bling", such as a pearl necklace, finger ring and toe ring. I made sure her makeup suited her smile. I like this little surfer as she has my wifes figure, not her feet.This was around the time when the Beach Boys were singing their surfin' songs so these models fit into that time frame. Hope you enjoy. <br />

She is very proficient at whatever she endeavors to do with her favorite crafts. Over the past few years we have upgraded her sewing machine purchases because she gets better and more skilled in her love of quilting. She was introduced to quilts by our oldest daughter, Melanie, about seven years ago. My wife took to quilting like a duck takes to water. I am amazed at the end product of her cutting, sewing and pieceing of her materials. We had just purchased a top of the line machine a month or two before Christmas so I would joke with her that she shouldn't expect a new machine under the tree this year. Until I came across this old (50-60 years) dollhouse toy. It was made by the Renwal toy company that made these in the 1940 to 1950's era. This toy is known as SEWING MACHINE #89. It has a blue flip top, inside pop up red sewing machine, spin the yellow wheel and the needle moves up and down, two front pull out drawers and a yellow bottom treadle. It is awsome for its time. I have also included some of her quilts because they are terrific.

Some of the lights still work but I can't find replacements anywhere. This string has seven lights on it and you can only connect up to four more units to it or you will have a fire hazzard. That means the most lights on one circuit would be 35. WOW!! I don't think they would fit into todays holiday lighting schemes. They still bring back fond memories of a simpler time.<br />

The plant lets them go free in the morning so they can transfer its pollen.Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17661629834855439450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480126423987015286.post-77782357311387653762011-12-05T08:56:00.000-08:002011-12-12T05:54:25.403-08:00VINTAGE OLD "PEPSODENT" TOOTHBRUSHES 'N PASTE IN MIRRORED GOLD CONTAINER<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Brenda, a friend of ours, came across this old toothbrush and paste travel tin and gave it to me as she knows that I collect some weird items. It measures 2.25 inches by 3 inches. It contains a tube of Pepsodent toothpaste and two tiny brushes on the inside. It also has a tiny mirror when you open it up. The contents have never been used so it is in perfect condition. The outside of the case has a golden metallic finish. Etched into this finish is a picture of two toothbrushes and a tube of paste surrounded by etched leaves and the words" Toothbrushes 'n paste". Not sure how old it is but it seems to be pre 1950's. Some classy lady probably kept it in her purse for emergency sake. Maybe she was waiting for a handsome fellow to sweep her off her feet and spend the night. But since it was never used that did not happen and she died an old maid. Ah, but I digress. Anyways you can put your own story to its unuse.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The toothpaste is Pepsodent. I remember using it when I was young. It was a very popular brand before the mid-1950's, but its makers were slow to add fluorideto to its formula. So sales plummeted. It is now a "value brand" selling for about half the price of similar sized tubes of Crest or Colgate. It is not sold in Canada and only .99 per cent is sold in U.S. discount stores. It is popular in India.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Remember the catchy selling slogan.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> "You'll wonder where the yellow went</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent"</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

My wife sure knows how to make my day special. This toy is a 1977 model. They were originally made in the 1960's. I remember seeing them for sale on television but never saw any in our Canadian stores. Only in the U.S.A. I guess. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrFg2t5jnHRxHib5-Yusgu6Dvo85vi61P8RVCDoaBL-kYgDj_bm9-L4cTzIJTYiqF4Sm_yAyKf3vbEe7FxwPTBtfjGDcB8aNb5TDEwB4VNOlBP3VrWAaT88arGKkdtstvW-1zQYFib2Y/s1600/dec+4+my+bday+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrFg2t5jnHRxHib5-Yusgu6Dvo85vi61P8RVCDoaBL-kYgDj_bm9-L4cTzIJTYiqF4Sm_yAyKf3vbEe7FxwPTBtfjGDcB8aNb5TDEwB4VNOlBP3VrWAaT88arGKkdtstvW-1zQYFib2Y/s640/dec+4+my+bday+005.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">When wound up Mr. Machine rolls forward . His legs and arms go back and forth as if he was actually walking. His mouth goes up and down as he strolls along because he also whistles on his stroll. The tune he whistles is:<br />

To beat the economic crisis, many women in Spain have started selling their hair.
