Nutcase…and A Haus Update.

Schwinn Stingray Bike Image

Here it is, Karen’s Nutcase helmet, called Star Bright. This pattern was so mod back in the 50’s. She’s quite excited to wear it. My new helmet is called Fly Boy .

They were white leather Converse with Tar Heels blue accenting, and I checked them out for weeks leading up to Christmas while they were on display in the sporting goods department at Bergner's. I was so proud to wear them to Churchill Blue Streaks basketball practice the day after Christmas. Streaks girls basketball coach Evan Massey: A toboggan -- we had a huge hill right out the back door. And I'll always remember my first pair of leather basketball shoes I received when I was in the 8th grade.
