Summer Is Here

Summer and the heat has arrived here in British Columbia the two don't always go hand in hand in July.  I thought I would post things to do with summer.

These are two of seven barrels I have plants in around the yard.

I've added this red Volkswagen to my collection I have in my home office.

These are new and vintage postcards all have a common theme of being at the beach.

I found this brown and white Fire King mug with flowers at the secondhand store the other day.  I've added it to my collection I now have the two above in this pattern.

I was walking out of the secondhand store and just happened to look back in the window and saw I had missed this paperweight so back in I went.

I found this 1976 Eaton's Spring Summer catalogue at a garage sale.  It was fun to browse through it.

I'm guessing this picture was taken in Sechelt, British Columbia but don't hold me to it I could be totally wrong.

Hot Fun In The Summer Time

End of the spring and here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi, there
Them summer days, those summer days

That's when I had most of my fun back
High, high, high, high here
Them summer days, those summer days

I 'Cloud nine' when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it's true, ooh, yeah, yeah

Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime

Hot fun in the summertime

First of the fall and then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there
Them summer days, those summer days

'Boop - boop - ba- boop - boop' when I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it's cool, ooh,yeah

Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime

This post made me think of this song which was recorded by Sly And The Family Stone.

Volkswagon And Coca-Cola Memories

My blog today is a trip of childhood memories that came back to me when I saw this toy Volkswagen bug at the flea market. My uncle had a few Volkswagen bugs that I would get to ride in sometimes. 

Then the Coca-Cola ads came to mind when they used the song " I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing".  The bee's on the Volkswagen reminded me of the words in the song "Grow apple trees and honey bees". My dad and I found these ads from the back of a National Geographic Magazines when we were collecting them.  I thought this picture fit with my memories.

I added this Coca-Cola ad also because of what I could see of the car in it a lot of our cars growing up kind of looked like this one.
