When the kids were little I kept them around for art projects. Now it's into the recycling bin...<BR/><BR/>Thank you Susan! A pneumatic tube. And he would LOVE that. Like a hamster tube running all over our house!<BR/><BR/>Hi Susan and Sherry!<BR/>Tattingchic, I never went tubing in our creek growing up, but I did spend an awful lot of time "falling" in it and exploring. We have a river near our house that is more like a creek in places. I wish I could just let Sam wander down there and play like I did as I child. These days I feel like I have to come along, and it's not the same for kids with mom over their shoulder!Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-57501111782787604712008-08-05T23:01:00.000-04:002008-08-05T23:01:00.000-04:00I'm from a small town originally and I have to say...I'm from a small town originally and I have to say there's nothing like going tubin' in the creek (we pronounced it "crick" LOL) to cool you off on a hot summer day!

Plus I felt I needed to check on you after that lawn mower exploded into flames!<BR/><BR/>Alex, I would save you some, but I'm afraid cookie dough doesn't last long around here.:)<BR/><BR/>Colleen, it's a lot of fun, and I'd love some linky love! A word to the wise: if you just search on a word, it's be a little overwhelming--there are millions of pics out there. Usually I daydream about a word or an idea for a few days, then come up with a list of directions to take it, and then search out specific things, looking through my own photos first. Enjoy! It's a blast! <BR/><BR/>Hey May! Sure trombones work! That is funny! Wouldn't it be fun if we did have a national vacuum tube system!
