I'm glad you got a kick out of the old items in the photos. Your kind words always mean a lot to me. Thanks for that. :)<br /><br />• Sandi, yes.. I do remember the tiger in the tank, too. :) I'm glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I'm so glad you joined me. Thanks for such kind words. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Sue. I'm so glad you've been along with me for the ride. Yours was one of the first blogs I remember getting hooked on. Thanks kindly for the sweet words. They're very much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Louise. I wouldn't mind a pink wringer washer either.. I just don't want to have to use it. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. Thanks for letting me know. :)<br /><br />• Thank you so much for those very kind words, Arti. They mean a lot to me. I'm so glad you're enjoying my posts.

Totally appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Eddie, thanks very much, my friend. I'm glad my post evoked some memories. I do know the name "Benzole" but am not so sure it existed as a gas (petrol) station here in Canada. Perhaps someone else might know. Thanks for stopping by with your kind wishes. :)<br /><br />• Sandra, my friend. thank you SO much for such kind and generous words. Your sweet comments mean the world to me and I'm so grateful for your friendship. Thank you. :)<br /><br />• Margo, I'm quite thrilled with "stunning!" You may continue to use it every time. ;) Thanks for the kind words. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Maggie. A fine start, eh? It sounds like you have high hopes for me. ;) I don't think that truck was running any time recently but it sure would be cool to see if on the road. Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, Cloudia and Aloha right back at you! :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much, TSannie. Yup, 200. I really don't post very often.. approximately twice a week. Three times now with the POTW. Thanks very much for the kind words.

Thanks for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Thank you so much, Leah. I really didn't know just how it would turn out. I just kept snapping shots - kind of like they say about monkeys at a typewriter.

I'm kinda looking forward to it myself. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Thank you very much, Nancy. Yes, I do think about about the stories these old items have to tell. Where they've been - what they've cooked or cleaned - which cars were serviced by that gas pump and how many people enjoyed their cool, refreshing Coke! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks always for your kindness. :)<br /><br />• Thanks very much for the kind words, Elizabeth. Much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Shammie, I'm glad you liked my comment on your post. ;) I have to say that I like yours too.
