Ginny and her own red balloon! 

It almost got away once but the robin 

in her lap brought it back! 

          (See site illustrations in order from top to bottom of page 

as it tells the picture story of "The Red Balloon!") 

                    Thanks Ginny Linda ! :)  

Each summer Ginny's Dad saved so that the whole family could

 rent a cottage on Cape Cod. 

Sometimes they went to Dennis, West Yarmouth, 

Falmouth or Bourne! 

Somehow the furniture inside the cottages

 always looked like this set made 

by Pert Pat in New Hampshire. 

A super set of 4 pieces including the wooden lamp.

 This pine set with brass nails 

was made sometime between 1953 and 1958,

 as the factory burned down. 

The pieces are marked Pert Pat. 

The cushions are still vibrant after all these years.

Board games and playing cards made 

each cottage rental a memory forever!

The game called "Sorry" and a wooden bowl with story books
