    Kind of reminds me of country school and the girl's and boy's toilets. One on each side of the old brick schoolhouse.

    tb....you have such a great sense of humor. I can always count on you for a good laugh. Thanks for these great pictures. I needed a laugh after waking up to 17 degrees. I'm worried all my "babies" are ruined by the frost. But for now, I'm still grinning about your photos!!

    Love the quote.... AND the photos are GREAT... Made me laugh--especially the last one.... BUT--the tent one reminded me of the days years ago when my ex and I tried to put our tent together... I think it looked similar to the one you showed. ha ha

    I had the exact same tent. It brings back many memories. I didn't have the same bride but did have the bride with me!

    I really enjoyed your scenes from the past, but I can't help but wonder how long you were in the doghouse over that last picture.
