    yes....favorite memories of blanket tents, over a table, tied to chairs....long as put back where our "stuff" was that was "creatively used"....lol
    Thanks for reminding us of treasured times. Also NOTHING as fun as a BIG box for extending the "tent"...or a house ALL its on.., if big enough....Pat Wright Girling
