I'm thinking of incorporating the picture of my mother and self and other local children into it. I have found a couple of photos of the Brookside carousel animals. Looks like I have to get to work!<br /><br />Hi Peggy! <br />I guess a building, like a person has to "die" eventually.

I'll try the painting first and see what happens.<br /><br />Alan, I'm just glad I photographed the carousel house before it's demise. The photo with my mother was one that I found.<br /><br />Lisa, <br />I'm glad I could share them with you. <br /><br />Hi Barbara Pask!<br /><br />I enjoyed visiting your site! I've been a lazy blogger lately. Thanks for visiting. I've been working on some paintings, I've just not finished anything lately!<br /><br />Shazza! Mom always looked gorgeous. I always looked fat!<br /><br />Barbara, <br />Thank goodness some have not been destroyed! The carousel inside this "house" was supposedly sold to a California amusement park. I have searched and cannot find any evidence. I think they sold it to someone who told them that as I found the individual horses for sale.neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-88780185406486244932011-01-17T15:05:04.759-08:002011-01-17T15:05:04.759-08:00That's a wonderful picture.

When we moved here from Chicago in 1950 we used to ride it often. You could catch the gold ring and get a free ride. We managed to do that quite often, much to the chagrin of our mother who didn't want to wait for us forever.Barbarahttp://banardesigns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-76706288993602459402011-01-16T17:46:31.684-08:002011-01-16T17:46:31.684-08:00Hey Sis - what a great picture!

In times gone by it seems people took fewer photos, which makes them all the more precious. Even more precious when so well-taken of a special event like this one of you on the carousel.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-41070942690724747902011-01-15T13:34:54.773-08:002011-01-15T13:34:54.773-08:00Kat!

I had a dream about it! Seriously! I had a compulsion to take the photos two weeks ago. And Mary Poppins! From the moment they jumped into the street drawings I was hooked. As for my cuteness...ahem... I found notes written by my gorgeous mother about how fat I was in this picture. <br /><br />Peggy, I'm so glad I got that photo. I was compelled to take the carousel house photos. Thanks for thinking I was cute. <br /><br />Pat, <br />I was amazed at how quickly they demolished this! But I do believe it was a liability issue. Those beetles did a huge amount of damage.<br /><br />Pat,<br /><br />I still love the magic of the carousel! I never could reach those rings!neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-89731818886305332512011-01-15T11:25:56.646-08:002011-01-15T11:25:56.646-08:00You look so happy - and of course, the horses WERE...You look so happy - and of course, the horses WERE magical.
