Awww Meow Monday



FRISCO MY GRANDKITTY

A few fun photos from the trip to Raleigh's Union Station on January 1, 2020.  Can you guess what these two things are in this photo?

Both are from travel gone by.  I knew right off what the beige egg shape was
a Hair Dryer.  The green container had me baffled then it came to me
I think it is a  (PTU) pet carrier. 


They were part of a larger display called Raleigh on Wheels


Raise your hand if you learned to roller skate on skates  that are pictured center bottom.
 We kept on our shoes, fastened the red straps around our toes and ankles.

  1. I would like both items... the hairdryer looks fantabulous and really posh, a nice thingy! and the carrier would be great for the hunting berds LOL

  2. I knew what those 2 things were! My grandmother gave me a hairdryer just like that one and no, I don't have it anymore. Yup, had a pair of skates just like those☺

  3. Frisco looks relaxed on the cistern!
    I remember those old skates and the cuts and scratches I got from them if I caught my leg with them.

    I too thought pet carrier - but would never have guessed hairdryer. Don't think I ever saw anything like that in my lifetime - maybe only a USA thing? Definitely I has those skates and I was not too bad on them either! YAM xx

  5. That does look like a pet carrier. But I would have never guessed the hairdryer. You all have a fabulous day.

  7. I think you are right about the pet carrier, although I have not seen one like it. I did recognize instantly the hair dryer, mine was blue. thanks for laugh grand kitty... if you gain an oz you will not fit or your mom will need to buy a bigger commode. ha ha… I remember the skates but never had any. I can't skate, due to balance problems

  8. Frisco looks very comfy hanging out on the toilet. Our mom says she had skates like those and said the wheels never seemed to turn very well.

  9. I didn't know what either of those travel items were. My mom had a hair dryer, but not the travel kind. All of those things are such treasures from the past. Me and roller skates didn't get along. Something I never mastered.

    Awww on the kitty. Adorable.

    Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Big hug my friend. ♥

  10. GW says she had roller skates like that. She also remembers having a hairdryer kind of like that but the case wasn't round.

  11. I love those, vintage stuff is always amazing - where has our sense of design gone?

  12. The Dad knew the hair dryer but not the PTU and he did roller skate on skates like those, down great big street hills...and no helmet!

  13. We actually HAVE that PTU! It's the only one nobody goes crazy in!!! We wish we could find another.

  14. You forgot the all-important Skate KEY...especially if you had siblings you had to share the skates with...LOL! Had the box-ish type of hairdryer...with the shower cap....

  15. When visiting the Feline Historical Museum in Alliance, Ohio last year, I studied their display of antique cat carriers, and was amazed at the ingenuity of cat-lovers from many years ago!

  16. I earned with shoe skates a Christmas present when I was about 12. I just thought I won the whole WORLD!

  17. I was at the vet and a lady brought her cat in one of those carriers. I had never seen one like that before.

  18. I knew that that was a furry carrier, butts missed the hair dryer! Gma used to have a hair dryer like that, butts it was more like an Oreo with a handle, instead of an egg!
    OMD, Ma said she had skates like that when she was a wee one! The ones with boots were only for the roller rinks...WAY too expensive! I thinks Ma wore out a couple pairs of those!
    Kisses,
    Ruby ♥

  19. Oh we think you're right - the green thing is an old-timey PTU and Mom recognizes the hair dryer thingie. Mom absolutely had roller skates that you put on your shoes and tried to be super careful NEVER to lose the key which was on a string around her neck!

    Hugs, Teddy

  20. Frisco your Mom is not laughing at you, she is laughing with you :)

  21. I remember those skates and I remember them being pretty wonky. I learned to roller skate in regular lace ups. The hair dryer I definitely remember!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I figured out the hairdryer, and hey! Are those my old skates?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Grandkitty looks really relaxed and we like the travel snaps. Dad has an old PTU that he got at a yard sale but that one is cooler

    ReplyDelete
  24. Such a handsome guy Frisco is...even when he is sitting on top of the potty!

    "raising my hand!" I remember how excited I was when I finally got a pair of lace up roller skates LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I busted my bottom and my knees on those roller skates! Hahah! I knew the hair dryer but not the pet carrier.
