Thanks, Ditter, that brought back many great memories.
And to add just one more thing....I grew up in a very small house with small rooms. In our house the center room was the dining room. It was also the room that we seldom used so it became the Avon room. Mom was an Avon lady and would get huge boxes of the most beautiful things in. We (6 kids) NEVER touched any of it because it wasn't allowed. Yes, back then kids were told NO, knew what it meant and obeyed it.
When the boxes were emptied we got to travel the world in our airplanes, trains and buses. We designed our own homes, made towns, and dog houses for our stuffed animals. Those boxes were the best toys we had and the greatest thing was that we got new ones every few weeks.
