THANK YOU LINDA! I have plenty of “what not to do” examples.. I’m trying to let her be her own person.. she’s a good good girl but it’s hard for me not to micro manage!

My husband is a micro manager and it drives the kids crazy! I try to discreetly let him know if the kid is in the room and then he’ll zip it.

He micro manages me and our older girls too! I guess that’s why and how he owns his own business. [emoji3]

I’m more relaxed but I do get the info I need though.

What a neat place! Did he enjoy it?

Yes, I used to take him when he was little but he didn’t remember.

I love all the cute ponds that are incorporated into the train set up. The water plants for sale are in most of them.

It’s all up high so they have a few chairs and benches on the perimeter so the kids can see too.

no comment .....:D
Yeah..... um..... I get odd looks the first time I tell people that the ornaments on our tree are "self-loading"... :rolleyes:

And the bows don't go on presents until the very last minute...if then...

Our tree usually looks like a spiral staircase within hours, where a cat has blazed the way to the top.

One of these years, I'm just going to decorate the cat trees instead!

I took the little man to our local nursery and they have a really cool train with miniatures all around and little ponds with fish. It’s huge, you can walk around and stop to watch the trains.

Oh, I enjoy miniature railroads! Especially the Garden scale ones. I know G scale isn't uniform, but it looks like so much more fun the play with, and it stands out much better outside.

Somewhere in the back of my mind is a thought that dared to whisper... "Do you think there could be a Turtle scale railroad?"

Dunno how much of a greater demand there is.... yes, ppl do purchase as salad greens but it’s just one of a large variety of available greens. Only the greens are sold - nice bundles - but Sully does love the flowers of course.
I don't know if any of you are familiar with Publix or not, but I've seen bundles of dandelion greens, a couple different varieties, I think.

Publix is a grocery store / supermarket chain based in Florida. They don't have a housewares section where you could by linens or towels, they focus on food, and they do it well. For a UK reference, Publix can go toe-to-toe (or head-to-head) with Tesco, any day.

We should really try that the wool spider ( if she exist ) will cooperate with us. She could knit useful things like bags

I don't knit, but I did eventually take up crochet. I'm mostly self-taught. So I sort of know what to do with yarn and one implement, but I get confused with two...
