I was taking random pictures the other day and ended up with this unexpected picture of the late afternoon sun’s rays beaming down from a telephone pole next to the former van’s parking space.

Another item that was very popular in the ’70s. This particular one was given to my niece, who looked like a Gerber baby at the time, by a salesclerk at East and West Gift Shop (no longer in business). Even though there are plastic versions of this available, the simplicity of this bamboo version of a back scratcher (which is still being used frequently by Hubby and me) tends to be less abrasive on the skin.
