...remembered an old friend

These guys live in the crane game at the bowling alley...I have been bowling here almost every week for 4 years and I have never seen anyone play this game...poor unwanted toys...I particularly like the variety and colors and animals this week and thought it warranted a photo.

During my last move about 6 months ago I parted with my last stuffed animal, a stuffed bunny I had had since birth...I slept with that thing every night growing up, and he even made the moves with me to college and beyond. But, my last place had an unfortunate flea situation, and there was no way to wash that dirty ratty old bunny...it was so weird to throw him away...something that slept with me every night for years so unceremoniously thrown into the trash. But it was just a material possession, and I can live without it. My only regret is that I didn't take a picture of him before he left me. If I had this journal back then I would have. I have this journal now to make sure I don't lose opportunities like that again.
