Some wonderful toy talk from Catherine Oliver , who also kindly mentioned my family’s “life-sized Lincoln logs.” Some folks ( Sarah Miller ) wanted to see a picture in order to better visualize how children might use these 8-foot 2×3’s, some of which we cut into shorter lengths for doorways and windows. So here is a picture!

This picture was in 2019, after a girls’ book club gathering discussing “On the Banks of Plum Creek.” This is why the girls are all in dresses — and isn’t it cool that after their discussion, they were able to go outside and make their own “little house” to play at Laura and Mary in?
