Childhood toys

Who played with an etch a 

sketch when they were kids?

I did and it was incredibly

frustrating.  Not only can I

not draw a straight line with

a ruler, but it's nearly impossible

to do it on an etch a sketch

even if I could...But

thanks to the incredible talent

of other card makers, I 

can make an etch a sketch

card!  I think it turned out 

pretty well.  It's a birthday 

card for my grandson, 

Bradley, who's birthday

is August 11, same day

as my parents' anniversary!

It almost looks real, doesn't it?

It looks like it might rain today.  We

need it so badly.  The grass is brown.

That hasn't stopped my cherry tree, 

though.  It's bowed down with

cherries!  I've had two people

picking and still tons more.  I'm 

going to have to recruit my neighbors

to help.  My dad went to eat

one the other day and found a

worm, lol.  I've probably

eaten one or two because I

didn't look, but hey, in other

countries they eat worms, 

bugs, all kinds of critters and

don't think a thing of it.  His

is the only complaint I've had...
