Which is why I felt so sad when I had to drive even to the park 8 minutes walk away because I felt so unsafe walking with 2 young children, when Vansh's cycle gifted to him on his 4th b'day rusted and was literally wasted :( Comparison is always bad.Neerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908239217422161292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610509909197302230.post-4639774059303330682011-09-24T05:33:25.657-05:002011-09-24T05:33:25.657-05:00What lovely memories.

True - the paint strokes during fall...dazzling. I have seen that in the mountains of NH and Vermont.<br />I should get those books from the library too if I find it.
