Title: "All The World's a Dollhouse"

Round and round, round and round.

I coasted down the narrow path, standing hard on my brakes when I reached the door.

When I was eleven, I thought of my bike as that pony I had always wanted, the tassels on her handles waving in the wind like a long, trailing tail.  Like any proper horse, she had a name.  Abigail

My brother and I played with (manly cough) Action Figures.

Same diff ;)

Really lovely snapshot from a childhood.

The ending is so poignant! And you really create that world of imaginative play, too.

This is a really moving story, Maria. You give us a really neat little glimpse into your past and your childhood. It's a sweet memory that you share with us. Thank you for that. :-)

Such a lovely, touching, warm and wholessome family story. I can't see the photo from here, but I will check it out when I get home... I still rther enjoyed the mental image you painted, either way, and your family seems quite special, in a way that isn't all that common anymore... you must be fairly well-adjusted.
