I remember when I was three years old playing in a sandbox at the playground, and how much fun I had when it wasn't planned. I'd create wondrous castles to behold using a pail, and I'd sculpt the background by hand. Like stepping into a magical box, that sandbox appeared especially grand. A perfect place, for no one was around when my imagination played with rocks and sand.

Thanks Darlene, playing in the sand felt so good my friend, that I often stayed out late, till my mom would call me to come into the house, Emile.
