The Simple Life:

A cottage small is all I'm after,
Not one that's spacious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter,
And the ones you love inside

The Wonderful World of (Stuffed) Frogs

I love frogs - at least the stuffed or ceramic kinds! When I was a kid my nursery/bedroom was decorated with a Beatrix Potter theme. I wish I had pictures! Sitting proudly front and center was Mr. Jeremy Fisher. Man I loved that guy! Over 30 years later my mother still has him. She's saving it for her granddaughter, if she ever gets one! I mentioned to mom recently that I'd like to bring Mr. Fisher home with me, maybe get him cleaned up and repaired, and display him in my guest bedroom. Mine was very similar to this one.



Sniff. Now I'm feeling all nostalgic! Somehow I feel that recapturing Mr. Fisher will somehow recapture my childhood, or bring back a slice of innocence. Maybe I wouldn't have to work any more, or pay bills and a mortgage any more. SMACK!! WAKE UP!! I guess not. Oh well, I guess I'll be satisfied with just having the little guy in my house for my enjoyment, and maybe later on, that of my little girl. By the way, if anybody reads this and knows how to go about getting a stuffed animal restored, please leave a comment!




Thanks for letting me walk down memory lane!
