From one generation to another

This picture is for the "Childhood Memories" contest on
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This picture shows my daughter with three of the very few things that I have left from my childhood, that I cherish from that time of my life:

My stuffed monkey named "Sammy", that I got when I was about 7 (he's about 34 years old). Sammy was always one of my main favorite stuffed toys. That monkey is loaded with hugs, and tears of happiness and sadness that I shared with him.

A Childcraft book (circa- Approx. 1954) that my mom recently gave me, that was a gift from her mother. My grandmother gave my mom and one of her brothers a collection of Childcraft books that they had when they were little. I grew up reading these books.

A music book called "This is Music 5" (circa- 1967. It's the book laying on the ground to the left of my daughter in the picture) that my mom bought second hand when I was about 8 or 9 (I'm 40 now). My mom and I used to sing a lot of songs together from this book, and I would sing them alone in my bedroom sometimes. I have since taught some of the songs to my daughter, and she likes to look at it on her own sometimes.
