Having Fun in a Sleigh
Submitted by lakenC on Wed, 02/20/2008 - 23:46.
This picture shows a man and a woman in a sleigh. In the background, there is a big brown house and some really big trees. You can tell it is winter because of the white snow on the ground. Also, the sleigh doesn't have wooden wheels; it has sleigh runners instead. Sleigh runners are big metal rods that swerve up, and they are pretty fancy. They are a lot easier to ride on the snow than wheels because they are nice and smooth on the bottom. Nowadays, we would just have winter tires on our cars.
Men at a Drug Store
Submitted by lakenC on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 18:30.In this picture, there are five men in front of a drug store. The drug store looks fancy, with a really nice, big sign above it. Also, there is a nice little path in front, so maybe that was where the buggies parked. There is a little passage way to walk up to the front. After you get to the front of the buliding, there is a little set of stairs and a really pretty awning; it's very pretty.
Drug Stores Back Then

This picture shows some people in the drug store buying some goods. Back then, if a person didn't have enough money, the person would trade, say, some milk for some eggs. Nowadays, stores only accept money. Back in those days, people didn't earn nearly as much money as we do today. We also have way different food and goods today.
