Now I can't help imagining that lady walking and picking her feet up extra high like a prancing horse.<br /><br />Alonzo, I really do wonder if it ever actually rained that day!<br /><br />K. Martinez, if you didn't wipe the monitor before, you definitely need to do it now!<br /><br />Tom, I'm sure the lack of all that stuff you mentioned was purely due to budgetary constraints, although it looks OK. I still prefer it with the "Pirate Lagoon" look added in 1960.<br /><br />Melissa, are those lyrics from a real song (modified by you)?? It's like it is right on the tip of my brain, but I can't quite come up with it.<br /><br />Nancy, but this one isn't nice and sunny, which you usually like so much!<br /><br />PsySocDisney, at least it's not a fleet of strollers, like you typically see nowadays (dozens, scores… sometimes it seems like hundreds in places like IASW)….Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-48549266919962204392014-06-16T15:01:19.350-07:002014-06-16T15:01:19.350-07:00Yes it does look like water Melissa!
