    I had a collection of over 60 model horses. Every single one had a name, its own blanket, saddle, and bridle (a lot of which I made myself), and a back story. They lived in two huge rows of shoe-box stalls in our family room. I still have them, though now they are in two huge crates in storage. I will not part with them, or even let my nieces and nephews play with them.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Lego is truly the toy of Gods. It is more than just a toy, it is one of the greatest inventions known to Man. It has (and continues to do so, but to less an extent) provided hours of fun throughout my life, but is also a great source of pain when you step on a piece

    These two were my favorites:

    1) The "Slinky." This was nothing more than a floppy spring. You could make it do things like descend stairs.
    2) The "Labyrinth." This consisted of a wooden platform "maze" inside of a box. The platform could be tilted via knobs
    protruding from the sides of the box. You placed a metal ball at the start of the maze and by manipulating the knobs
    you tried to get it to the end point, without letting the ball drop through one of the holes in the platform maze. It was
    a simple "low tech" toy but presented a real challenge. I spent hours and hours playing with it. I still have the toy and
    still enjoy playing with it.

    The only thing I remember having was the kitchen set.
    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    Be the change you wish to see
