Like pouring salt on a slug & watching it shivel up & oozing....yuk! I built a tree house in the front yard with my dad's lumber even though I was afraid of heights. Did alot of swinging from that old oak tree. I could even touch the roof with my feet while swinging :') I guess I was a bit of a dare devil in my young age.<br /><br />Such memories, yes?Jane Delcambrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911337668975946522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101369128236864337.post-79369569577912794132011-04-14T08:51:49.380-04:002011-04-14T08:51:49.380-04:00asanti sana Jeroge.....I did actually spell Beatri...asanti sana Jeroge.....I did actually spell Beatrix properly, but in my rush to post....I let the spell check have its way.....the Helping...didn't see it....so be a pendant....please!!!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712151748920241200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101369128236864337.post-1576309399997390072011-04-14T02:35:25.479-04:002011-04-14T02:35:25.479-04:00I didn't know the name of racey helping, but t...I didn't know the name of racey helping, but these lovely illustrations ring a bell... I grew up with such books, and they're part of the (too) sensitive person I am today ! the world needs more of people like your Art teacher ! I grew up with people around me always pointing out what I didn't do the right way... it took me a long way to find any self confidence after that... and I was also the tallest in my class until Senior High School (there it felt better)<br />so... I have a nosy question: hw tall are you NOW ? just so I know if I beat you or not ?! ;)Valeriehttp://ourrainbowland.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101369128236864337.post-87618623370093039272011-04-13T23:18:31.817-04:002011-04-13T23:18:31.817-04:00Ummm, I know I'm a pedant, but I think we shou...Ummm, I know I'm a pedant, but I think we should correct the authors' names, even though one of them is definitely six feet under and wouldn't care at this point. Racey Helps and Beatrix Potter like seeing their names properly written out, just like I do.<br />JerogeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101369128236864337.post-55318272710287256572011-04-13T17:10:05.368-04:002011-04-13T17:10:05.368-04:00Don't apologise!

I'm sure I had a little wooden jigsaw... just didn't know the pictures were his... and there were fairies at the bottom of the garden!... and gnomes and elves and pixies!

It reminds me of the Cottingley fairies photo hoohaa in the early 1900's where two young girls took those fake photos of the "fairies" in their garden. Lovely photos though even if they were fake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101369128236864337.post-48445426794671700172011-04-13T11:45:09.173-04:002011-04-13T11:45:09.173-04:00Very pretty pictures!

Although many English things turn up in Sweden too, maybe I'm too young! Like the feeling of that, since my son made me feel prehistoric last night... :) They found a box with my childhood treasures, and he was amazed when he found an electronic game or two - "Wow!!! DID you have that technique THEN?? " he exclaimed with honest surprise...Nilla Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983395733450033267noreply@blogger.com
