Bump! Need more entries people!

 

[OldCrow]

Had one of these as a kid and always thought it would be fun to plat with one as a grown up.

I haven't taken any photos of things that I would like to have. (And most of those things are in the realm of fiction- like a camper van with hand controls that is handicapped accessible and lets me park and launch myself in a wheelchair to shop or eat)

With no disrespect to the entries that are in right now, I'm going to extend the challenge one more week to get more participation. I thought this an easy challenge...come on folks break out that Sears Christmas Wishbook

 

[great grandma Rosalie]

I had a really hard time figuring out what to enter for this. Maybe it is because I'm female but I'm not that interested in buying stuff. I don't like shopping for anything- I get my clothes from a catalog. The toaster that I got as a wedding present 66 years ago gave out this week and my husband bought me a new one, but I would have been perfectly happy using a toaster oven that I already have. From 1971 to 2015, we didn't buy a new car - we just had a bunch of used cars. I didn't care really what I drove as long as it ran. In 1998 we got a used sail boat and Bob bought stuff for it (GPS, dingy, radar, follow me antenna, self steering, a new sail) but I didn't have any input nor did I want any. Computers and cameras are about the only 'toys' that I ever bought. I have bought a couple of wheelchairs recently, but that isn't something that I wanted to need.

No more entries...Let's close this one out.
While Rosalie brings up a good point, the whole idea of the challenge was more of a "wish list" of things desired. She's also on the right track with posting a camera because photo gear is always top of my mind
However...OldCrow's post really struck a chord with me because as a kid, my Tonka trucks always sent my daydreams flowing "when I grow up, I'm driving one of these!!"
So Don gets the win and Rosalie and Rob share HM's
Take it away Don!

 

[Dilopix54]

BTW
This is the toy I want

 

[RDWP]

Congrats to Don. Don't know why there weren't more entries. Everyone on this site has at least one Big Person toy!

Rosalie, was that a Canon Ti series camera your granddaughter is using too? or XXD series?

 

[OldCrow]

Thanks Ed. New challenge is posted HERE.

It is a T5i I had a EOS Rebel T3 and my husband was jealous and got himself a T5. When I went on that trip in 2018, I got a second Canon for my granddaughter to use and the T5 wasn't available so I got the T5i and gave it to her to use. I just used the T3. When I was downsizing, I gave her the T3 so I still have the T5i

I just haven't taken any photos of anything that I want to buy. Old Crow had the right idea for this challenge.

Both very nice gear. I gave my son my T3i when I got my 60D, then the 90D. I still use an older 5Dii once in a while, too.
