I was an outdoor wild child (with a secret weakness for Barbie's though...shhhh...) and never had a tea party until recently with my 3 yr. old niece! I spent summers running through the woods and creeks and cornfields. I spent a lot of time trying to find natural springs in the woods with my little brother catching tree frogs and searching for coyote dens. Wonderful post that is reminding so many of us about our own childhoods, too, :)~h~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05341133302838419536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-13239614410892040142009-07-08T09:03:47.001-05:002009-07-08T09:03:47.001-05:00Written beautifully and it took me to a screened p...Written beautifully and it took me to a screened porch from my childhood with banana popsicles melted in hot tea with my friend Jean Ann and our homemade Raggedy Ann dolls from her Nanny (her grandmother).
