Yes, I have two items. The first is a stuffed duck that I received on my 5th birthday. The second is a blanket made by my paternal grandmother before she died when I was a month old.

I have a couple of Erector sets and two microscope sets from my youth. I should say that my oldest son has them now, he steals all of my good stuff.

I know!!! I had three sons and one daughter. She's 38 years old and still knows how to get money out of me. (She's been doing that her whole life.) The boys, I just tell them to get a part time job.

My daughter always invites me over for dinner and then says, "by the way, bring your tools with you or bring your painting stuff with you". You women are sly little devils.

Yes.

The Faith given to me at Baptism.

And yes, I did have to put up with those who wished to take it away from me.

Only one.  It's an old velveteen rabbit, the kind when they used to put wires in the silk lined ears and tail and the eyes were made out of metal disks.  I got it before I was one year old from my father.  He died before I was 2. I will be 63 this December. Rabby has lived in my top dresser drawer for years now.

My first bicycle.  Schwin Pixie.  I learned to ride on it.  So did my cousins and their kids.  It's about 45 years old and still very rideable.

No. When I was younger we moved to FL and moved in with my grandmother, so most of our stuff went into storage. My parents separated and somehow the payment on the storage unit got overlooked as to who was suppose to pay. It was defaulted on and we lost it all. I did have a small ceramic figurine that my dad gave me when I was about 10, but it broke in one of my moves.
