From Legos to Lincoln Logs

My best friend since I was 2 1/2, James, would always want to play with his latest action figure or tag in the back yard, while I would always argue to play with the Legos.

I loved getting to build little houses out of the white, brown and green blocks. And yes, I would color coordinate it all. The house was white with yellow windows and doors. The roof was brown and the grass was green.

I would never make any of the complicated designs, like spaceships or cars, even though James had all of the kits. I would always make my white little houses.

Eventually James and I grew apart, and I lost all my Legos, but sometimes I like to just think back on those day.

The Orion has offered up a solution to my occasional Lego-withdrawls. There's a set of Lincoln Logs in the basement that were at some point used to make a section cover, but now are just up for grabs to play with.

I get to relive my childhoood and make little log houses with orange windows and doors and white grass. Though the idea colors are off, the idea is the same. Yay Lincoln Logs.
