When I was a little girl, we used to go back to Wisconsin every summer for vacation. One of those summers my Grandpa Harstad
decided that one day I need to go with him to Woolworth’s so he wouldn’t get lost in the store!

And so we went and looked thru the aisles, of course the toy aisle was my favorite! Grandpa bought me a wonderful little chalkboard with a abacus on the top with fun plastic beads. I am not sure why this particular memory is so vivid, but it is and I have always hoped that someday I would find another one of these so I could feel how special I was once more and bring Grandpa back for just a moment…..
The other day I was just looking at different things on Ebay and this saw this auction!
What????????????? Could it be???????????
Colored plastic beads, and a chalkboard….. lets look at the tag….
Well, if this isn’t the same exact one, it is just like it!!!!! I have told many people about this memory with my grandpa and now I can own a piece of my own childhood again…..yup, I won it!
Who says you can’t go back in time????? Small trips are welcomed and much needed at times! :):)
Thanks for stoppin’ by…….
