Red and Rover by Brian Basset for March 18, 2012

Whoa! Red, that’ll work – wish I would have thought of it when I was 8 year old!

Is this how Robert Goddard got started?

Another winner, Brian. Love it!

I didn’t get one to stay up till I was 26. I wa still a kid then,still am.

It ‘s inspiring how kids can mash technologies together but shouldn’t Red be letting go of the string about now?

Ashburn Stadium – I have done that in a canoe to “sail” downwind sort of like a Nantucket Sleigh ride in slow motion.

Look at this idea, Charlie Brown!!!

Oh so clever….and cute!

I’m waiting for a tree to eat it. :-)

“like”

Ooh, good idea!!

What a glorious imagination!!

Mr. Basset, thank you for giving me back memories of Avondale park and my childhood practically every day! Also, thank you for the two best friends an old lady could have in the funny papers. Red and Rover rock!!! …<3

Ah..yes..to get back to the times of sandy vacant lots,

75 cent box kites and 300 feet of string..flying high over

those telephone poles…..Then hear the mothers

hollering to come wash up for dinner…(1963)

You should see some of the kites flying along the shores of Lake Michigan. & the kite surfing in our beautiful Big Lake.MI. has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.Where I live they are open & free access to all. Can you tell I love my State?? have lived here & loved it for 88 yrs & counting.
