My Radio Flyer By Larry Chadwick What ever happened to the simple times? When the biggest risk of getting a ticket, was being pulled over by a bicycle cop, for failing to signal while driving my Radio Flyer? It seems back then that everything I needed when I moved could fit in that same Radio Flyer. And I was always available for hire. My expenses were low and my profit was one hundred per cent. Even my mechanic gave me service for free…what are dads for? And when I had a wreck, even the expenses for damages were covered… Band-Aids were always free. My mileage was always the same no matter how many people I hauled. Even then everybody wanted to sit in the front. Come to think of it, drag racing was even more fun with my Radio Flyer. If gas hits three dollars a gallon, that’s it, I’m getting a Radio Flyer! April 9, 2002 |

(giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, I can truly envision you riding one of those, and drag-racing all those little kids like you own the place! LOL! Well, with where the gasoline prices are going so far, I'd say you'll have one in half a year or so! (smiles) You always are a delight to us all, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

LOL@Lauren's flying bump! This is great Larry... but, I didn't think you were old enough to remember Radio Flyers. If you get another... due to gas prices and all... will you take this Nancy Lee for a ride? ~Smiles and Hugs~ |
