Wow! Now there's a perspective I had not even considered before -- what a wonderful concept to use a sandbox with hour glass!! :) ;) This, once again, demonstrates your unique perspective on so very many things - thank you, again, for sharing those perspectives with all of us!! :) :)

Good luck in the contest -- this is wonderful! :) :)

    Thanks, Yvette. I was hoping the sands of time connection would be apparent.

I like how you related the sandbox to an hourglass. Truly as sand running through an hourglass marks the passage of time. The beginning of the rest of our lives often occurs in a sandbox where we first played as children.

Bill, I like the concept of a moment in time that gives timeless memories. Some of the best memories for parents (and kids I imagine) are centered around play times . On another level, we all live and exist in a "sandbox" from which memories are created. Excellent six word entry. Hugh

Excellent! Love the metaphor. I felt the immediate joy and the slow transition to memories. Great to have words and pictures to help keep the memories alive. I may have to quote you, but I'll site you as well.
Keep writing.

Your six word poem tells a universal truth: Kids love to play in the sandbox. At least, my eight have all loved creating things with sand.
Probably this is my computer, but the picture is sideways for me.

    Thanks, Lou. I?ve never had problems like that with photos. I know some have. It comes up okay on my PC, iPad and iPhone.
