Even though i never saw any here in BC i spent evenings looking for them as a child! Thanks for that memory.. Hang onto the magic! WE are just back from 3 weeks in Italy and UL. My daughter was at RBS and it was a wonderful excuse to visit Italy, one of my true loves, but its been 25 years! But we are back - thanks for putting up with our erradic postings :-)Lenorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523570885159399658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876129775144082.post-61067665081265801422011-08-07T15:19:06.036-05:002011-08-07T15:19:06.036-05:00Cute drawing.
