The Worm



I was shopping last November and I ran right into one of my favorite memories. My grandparents had this worm toy that all the cousins and I would ride around on. It was at their house ready and willing each visit. I believe my Aunt has it now and is passing on this great tradtion.

Well, after the tears passed, I decided I was going to start that tradition at my house as well. Not only did I beg RJ to let me buy this bright green worm, but it sits in my living room. It's the first thing you see when you come in my home, and yes, I have sat on it.

I love memories!!! I love the way you walk through them and each time your heart reafirms the reason they are there

Oh my gosh, we bought that for my parents for Christmas! We saw it and had the same memories come back and decided that we wanted it at my parents so that our kids could go to Grandmas and Grandpas and play with the worm. It's nostalgic! Also, they have the old wood train sets, almost the same as Grandma & Grandpa's at IKEA.
