When I saw this rusty old Tonka trunk I was taken back to the time when I was a kid and loved to play in the dirt.  My cousins had a full set of these trucks.  Dump trunk, grader, front end loader.  We could spend many an afternoon and making roads.  I remember being covered with dirt from head to toe. This also brings back memories of my recently passed aunt.  The dirt was never a big deal, she would roll right along with it.  Bring us into what we would now call a mud room.  Utility type bathroom and with a big sink right off the garage before the kitchen and get us cleaned up.  Make sure we had a great lunch and ship us back out to continue our Interstate Highway..   I know it sounds so cliche but how fast time flies.  I have a child who is past the age of playing in the dirt with trucks...  I only hope I can roll with the mud and dirt as well as my my aunt did.
