     Somewhat entirely, quaisi-unrelated to this, and another thread:  We had a store in town here, called "Kuddly Kuilts".  I *think* it was a quilting supply store(?)Whistling [:-^]

I notice you spoke of that store in the past tense.  Maybe not enough people knew what a kuilt might be.

SpongeBob is a kid thing, I guess.  Some people were totally absorbed in it.

     You know, sometimes you wonder what a poster looks like.  Then, when you see a picture of him, it never matches what you imagined them to look like.Shock [:O]Wink [;)]

 

     Sponge Bob Square Pants is a kid's cartoon show.

 

     Kuddly Kuilts, had a hand-written sign on a piece of plywood, on an old warehouse in a rundown industrial area.  The sign was always good for a smile when driving by.  I always imagined that if I stopped in, I'd come face to face with the Clampett family.Laugh [(-D]
