I shall do so the next time we stop there! I would guess they are...but I'll let you know.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-74673814167889295242011-08-18T11:08:34.279-04:002011-08-18T11:08:34.279-04:00Of course you haven't lost your mind!

C...Such play should be encouraged... and cherished. Creative little minds (as in those of children) are a marvel. <br /><br />When I was a child, I collected model horses. I used to take them outside, pose them and take their picture. The backgrounds in the photos varied: trees, farm buildings, whatever worked. I still have the photos and I giggle inside whenever I look at them. My intentions were good but the photos were so bad. It's hard to make plastic "come to life."<br /><br />Some of us never mature beyond such creativity. I am actually quite happy that I never did. If you think you may have lost your mind, you may want to take a moment to see a recent post on my blog... Roma Makes A Friend. (check Blog Archive) I was sure people would think I've lost it when they saw what I did with one of my cherished Roma tomatoes.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652954536843347233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-68663777654636618062011-08-18T08:30:03.541-04:002011-08-18T08:30:03.541-04:00Try asking them to describe in detail how to take ...Try asking them to describe in detail how to take a bath, not a shower.
