No hats like those either, we had berets, what a shame, those hats look as though you can get them into all types of shapes, I suspect as a child I would have enjoyed that.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253875352864018195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31566611.post-80136561216644360672011-05-31T22:56:26.715-07:002011-05-31T22:56:26.715-07:00A charming post with an even more charming photo.A charming post with an even more charming photo.Oakland Daily Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352365270299187377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31566611.post-88116914830543877322011-05-31T17:32:03.945-07:002011-05-31T17:32:03.945-07:00I love the shot of the toadstool and great one of ...I love the shot of the toadstool and great one of you as a brownie.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31566611.post-69551706504691620672011-05-31T16:41:53.055-07:002011-05-31T16:41:53.055-07:00Oh how cute are your toads and toadstools.

I don't remember why, although it might have had to do with my health at the time.<br />Anyway, I had no idea toadstools were associated with Brownies. What a surprise. I must ask my youngest niece about it when I visit BC next month, because she is in Brownies now.<br />I love the photo of you. You look so sweet and pretty, with wonderful hair. I had to enlarge the photo to see any sign of wrinkling around the knees. LOL<br />— K<br /><br />Kay, Alberta, Canada<br />An Unfittie's Guide to Adventurous TravelKay L.
