They survived the decluttering. Those are probably worth some money but I'm guessing I'll wind up giving them to one of my great nieces or nephews.<br />Have you thought about taking classes at the local Jr. College? Sometimes just taking a few classes can change your outlook.<br />There are also online classes at Coursera and other providers that are free or inexpensive. Just a thought.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-28561941176310697022020-03-02T19:42:56.741-05:002020-03-02T19:42:56.741-05:00Yeah I can imagine lefties hated those desks Yeah I can imagine lefties hated those desks Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051255914419363819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-23336107108015083172020-03-02T18:27:52.229-05:002020-03-02T18:27:52.229-05:00I had a pair of those outside metal skates too.

I have days where I feel like I wish my illness would still allow me to work a regular job, but the key for me is to keep busy. I dont like Winter as I think it is quite challenging to deal with- I prefer to see sun and be outside. Sounds like you had fun looking at Antiques. Hubby and I enjoy a few places around here- Mooresville has an antique mall.. and I remember seeing 45 albums that I used to have! Love the skates and doesnt it make you wonder how we sat in those chairs in school. <br />Have a great week!<br />jess xx<br />www.elegantlydressedandstylish.comJessica Jannengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16434412119015645435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-89181250491593651302020-03-02T11:27:52.111-05:002020-03-02T11:27:52.111-05:00I never used anything but metal wheeled skates.

I loved to skate but only once skated on a wooden floor.<br />I sure remember the desks, when we got away from the wooden deskes with the ink well holder I thought I was in the modern world. hahahahaha<br />I enjoyed the visit and the photos. The big safety pin at the bottom looks like the pen used on the big bags on the ship to send our division's laundry down to be washed.<br />Love you,<br />Sherry & jackjack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416472510902493911.post-88966019379888799982020-03-02T08:51:15.057-05:002020-03-02T08:51:15.057-05:00I remember those desks!!

Pardon if this comment is a repeat- The first one bleeped out. <br /><br />We must be around the same age, although you look younger than me in my honest opinion. I had both of those pairs of skates as well, oh how the metal wheels grated on the pavement. I still recall the sound! My mom and I played tennis - sometimes on clay courts. I remember we had Wilson rackets with a cloth/plastic case zipped around the head of the racket. We didn't have the racks because the racket was, I think, aluminum. Don't hold me to it though, LOL. In High school instead of playing the Tennis I loved, I ran track so I could be closer to my HS football player boyfriend on the field during practice, how dumb is that!? ....
