Rub-a-dub-dub, two little girls in a tub

If you were fortunate enough to grow up along a beautiful creek in these Ozark Mountains and if you had no neighbors close by – and no indoor plumbing, then imagination and resourcefulness served you well.  When Spring/Summer rains came and the creek was “flooded”,  the two little girls took an oblong wash tub (the same one used for bathing – in the kitchen – by the warm wood stove during the winter) and went on float trips!  In spite of the fact that oblong tubs weren’t designed for this use, it was a fine canoe.   With this fond remembrance, we have made a light fixture out of the oblong wash tub.  It hangs – waiting to be embellished with a few grapevines and an assortment of twigs –  in the new addition at D&O.  We love it!
