LIONEL TRAINS

A VERY EMOTION DAY IS COMING UP VERY SOON AS I AM PASSING SOME OF MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OFF TO THE MAURER FAMILY.  MALACHI WAS ONE OF MY 2005 WINNERS AND HE AND HIS WIFE ASHLEY HAVE TO BOYS , MICAH AND NOAH.  IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE I WILL BE HANDING DOWN MY LIONEL SET ALONG WITH AN OLD HOCKEY GAME TO THIS WONDERFUL FAMILY.  I HAD NO IDEA WHO I WAS EVER GOING TO GIVE MY LIONEL THINGS TO UNTIL I SAW THE PICTURE I HAVE INCLUDED THAT WAS ON MALACHI'S FACEBOOK PAGE.  I KNEW RIGHT AWAY......THIS WAS THE FAMILY.  THE EXCITEMENT IN THE EYES WHILE AT A TRAIN SHOW WAS ALL I NEEDED TO SEE.  MY

TRAINS ARE EVEN IN THE ORIGINAL BOXES  AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET PICTURES FROM THEM OF THE KIDS MAKING MEMORIES WITH THE VERY THINGS THAT SHAPED MY CHILDHOOD. THIS REALLY MAKES ME HAPPY !
