My favorite toy : WEEK 232

My favorite toy was a sifrina bicycle that my uncle gave me that day when he arrived with the gift I was so excited that I did not stop spinning on it I did not want to go to sleep I really wanted that gift and to some extent I also needed it because in the area where I grew up is a rural, mountainous, with beautiful views, cold water, clean air. I loved to explore, walk, swim, I love nature, but almost everything is far away: the village, schools, an ambulatory, a small winery and the vast majority of people had some means of transportation to get around I always loved bicycles, but in the house we were many brothers and my grandmother was very difficult to buy us gifts, but we never lack their love and care, so when that gift came filled me with great joy And the next day I was burned from so many hours in the sun riding my bike. On it I biked, I ran errands, we did competitions and went to school, to the river. On that bike I played non-stop and for me it was a precious stage of my life with beautiful memories of my childhood..

Another gift that I also have very present is a pair of rag dolls that used to sleep with me; they were very special, since she herself made them after she was older, I was given the Barbis dolls that were prettier and had more advice, but I do not forget the handmade dolls because my grandmother made them with much love and affection. My grandmother was very very detailed, a true expert in knitting. She was very fast, she had great skill with the sewing machine and with hand knitting, it was her main source of income and, besides, she loved handicrafts. My grandmother was really amazing, she could do all kinds of things. She could make hats, blankets, bags, even hammocks, and not only that, but she was also an excellent potter. She could make vases, cups, aisles and, although she tried to teach me. The one who acquired that gift was an aunt and a cousin who are, very good with crafts, because I lasted several weeks, while my grandmother and my aunt could last only a few days to do such a simple thing.
