"Narnia"

I remember "Narnia" as it was dubbed one winter when the weight of snow we'd gotten bent all the tree branches down, creating a beautiful "wonderland" that reminded mom of what Narnia would look like.
We have buried so many beloved pets in "Narnia." The trees are gone now I think, but it still remains a special place. Duchess is out there, as well as Snowball and Ashley. Sandy and I think Sylvester are "buried" at the vet, but they were just as loved as the others.
One of the first pets I remember burying was my duck, Honey. She was such a calm, sweet duck, I think she was probably sick from the start. I remember burying quite a few gerbils out there.
Cindy and I buried also lots of non-pets such as dead mice or birds that we found (or Sylvester left as gifts) in Narna. Also out there are several fish (the ones that escaped a watery grave) at least one snail and a couple toads.

"would you like fries with that?" or "the OLD camper"

I remember when we had our OLD camper...under the side window there was a little flap thing you could open...anyways, we used to play fast food, or something to that affect. To my memory, it seems that Amber and maybe Jackie or Jill? would be inside and Cindy and I and probably Brian always had to be the customers (we would come by on our bikes or walk i think). I don't know if I remember this correctly or not.
That old camper was fun to play in, even though I remember bumping my head multiple times on the ceiling above the top bunk bead. I also remember finding that dead bird between the sofa cushion and the wall, I think Cindy and I found it. We buried it in Narnia in the animal graveyard, the hole was already there, one that we had dug as a "trap" for the neighbors (it was about 6" deep I think). :)
