one of the activities dan and i enjoy is beachcombing, so we have a small collection of interesting toys that have washed up from the harbor. some of these toys live on the kitchen window ledge and window pane. one of my most recent finds was a pink barbie shoe, and i was a little distraught when it seemed it was missing (we were cleaning up house in preparation for our new years eve party, and i was afraid dan chucked it). he told me to look around. i looked up, and
the found rhino was wearing the shoe
let's back up a little, since there's a dinosaur (wearing a wishbone) keeping the rhino company:
and here's another found item on a different window. this duck has a number on the bottom, so i imagine it was a straggler in a duck-race.
and, this wasn't found on the beach, but dan bit into a pickle recently and found ...
mr. pickle! this is exactly what the cross section looked like - no tampering, i swear. this is a particularly profound find, since i used to torture my siblings when they were little with tales of my friend mr. pickle, who only i could see & communicate with. i would promise, if they were good, that they could finally meet mr. pickle, but the day never came.
