I think Adventureland has suffered less over the years and may even have improved slightly over the land of my youth.<br /><br />Thanks. This was a funny thread, but I was too busy to comment when it was new.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-71559358820421601992011-09-28T21:17:41.486-07:002011-09-28T21:17:41.486-07:00Aw thanks for the close-up!

Gingham looks good, even if is a former picnic blanket. I say "fuzzy hat girl" is wifey, but you have a much more worldly view. And now I realize that I need to work the word "rump" into each blog post.<br /><br />Chuck, when you say the Colonel, you mean Harlan Sanders I assume. He is the only Colonel that I report to!<br /><br />David, you have created a new word, which is way better than using an old word!<br /><br />Debbie V., I didn't even notice the fluffy hat aboard the Yangtze Lotus! So the fluff was a souvenir chapeau, who knew. Obviously not me.<br /><br />Nancy, I always like your cheerful comments! :-)<br /><br />VDT, I actually did it! I need to organize my thoughts today, and hopefully will have something written by tomorrow.<br /><br />Hannahx2, I am the one who is embarrassed, for not noticing the second hat! <br /><br />Pegleg Pete, I miss the old Adventureland too, although I have to say that the current version is still quite nice.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-9677230503305947922011-09-28T08:05:52.242-07:002011-09-28T08:05:52.242-07:00God, how I miss the old Adventureland!God, how I miss the old Adventureland!Pegleg Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-60347194978090892352011-09-28T07:46:08.453-07:002011-09-28T07:46:08.453-07:00There are indeed 2 fluffy hats.
