sand

 Today is 'Play in the Sand Day.'  I love playing with sand or clay or anything that I can squish or run between my fingers. I even enjoy smushing together the ingredients for meat loaf.  One of my happiest early childhood memories was playing in the sandbox in kindergarten.  I have often admitted to being easily entertained.  I guess it started way back then.  The sand box was actually a sand table, a shallow box on legs filled with the nicest sand I had ever felt.  We had a sand box in our back yard but it just wasn't the same.  I suspect I also liked the fact that I could stand and play with the sand, thereby eliminating the chance of sand on my legs or in my shorts.  I don't remember building sandcastles or anything else in that sandbox but it was a long, long time ago.  All I remember clearly is feeling the sand run through my fingers.  What a happy memory.
