..... they have vivid imaginations

Once upon a Christmas time

many years ago

there was not much money for gifts

for our two young children

So I went to the basement

and looked through the scrap on hand

There were four porcelain doorknobs

and some wood scraps

An empty aerosol spray can

a copper bell

a broken flashlight

and a 35 mm film canister
Thus was born the train engine
that rests in our spare room
for our kids now out in the real working world
They played with it very often, and it is part of why.....
