I remember sitting on gliders back in the 50's on front porches.

And yes, my beautiful toes can wiggle in the breeze! LOL (they still look good btw!)<BR/><BR/>I rescued this swing from our neighbors curb one night 2 years ago. It was out with their garbage cans on trash night. It was in perfect condition...just needed a fresh coat of paint. I had just said the day before that I wanted a porch swing and then there it was! I always felt like it was a little gift right from God! :)Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-39910677749718199082008-06-11T22:29:00.000-04:002008-06-11T22:29:00.000-04:00A lovely spot to sit and swing with the breeze, wi...A lovely spot to sit and swing with the breeze, wiggling your french-manicured toes... :)Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436539725605367511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-85425582864928526572008-06-11T22:05:00.000-04:002008-06-11T22:05:00.000-04:00What a wonderful poem.
