***I made them unhappy because I had to take it away ... the arrows were really quite sharp and they could really shoot with it!***

Back in 1956, we made our own bows and arrows from reed. While playing with them I got hit right under the left eye with one that was sharp.

Thankfully it was 1/2 inch below the pupil. Not long after I got hit with a store bought target point in the shoulder.

How I survived childhood I will never know!

Good thing you avoided all that lead based paint.

It would take two days for us to talk and have a beer if I visited you.

Just staring at and digesting all that your home has would be a lifetime of conversation
