    I do mix things up on occasion, but on this, I think my memory to be
    correct. 

    While the carriage is long gone, like my grandmother, the memory is
    quite clear, the stuff was like a translucent leather. Having had
    wood and coal stoves in my childhood, I knew the difference even
    then, and the stuff in the carriage was different, I at first thought
    it was an animal stomach. What made the whole affair so memorable, it
    was the only friction I ever saw between my grandparents. Grandma's
    father had first bought the carriage because he refused to have a
    car, and grandma kept the carriage after her parents passed away
    because it was where she stood up to her father for the first time in
    her life, over marrying grandfather. Grandpa, being a typical
    Oklahoma farmer, thought very little of the waste of money in
    building a shed for a contraption that would have better use as
    kindling but for all his bluster on the issue, he kept a brace of
    horses and livery and when we came to visit we would take a picnic to
    the fish pond in the carriage. For the early 50's it was an odd site
    to see on the back roads of farm country. 

    Thanks for the prod to dig up a fond memory. 

Terry
