AND they met some people who KNEW the KING of one of the parades they watched... and guess WHAT????? These Super NICE FOLKS Invited them to come along to the KING'S FEAST.... which is always held at the end of the Parade... It was supposed to be ONLY fur the KING and Queen and their KREW... butt mom and dad got to go... it was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience. They say the Food and the Live Band were OUT OF THIS WORLD. At the end... the KING gave Mom and Dad a HUGE HUGE bag of BEADS and stuffs that were left from the thingys that they throw to the crowds.... We STILL have MANY of them... Mom says it is a TREASURED Memory !!!
NOW back to the Educational Adventure that Cussin Francine

We learned that there is a MUSEUM for Pottery that was made in our area... and it is located Right near the town of Crooksville where our angel Uncle Doug was MAYOR... AND guess WHAT.... our DAD used to WORK at that museum... he mowed the grass and Fixed thingy and stuffs like that.
One of the guys who was a Resident Potter... is STILL furends with Mom and Dad... Butt that guy now lives in California.
Every year there is a POTTERY FESTIVAL in the towns of Crooksville and Roseville... and this year will be the 50th time fur the Festival.
We also learned that MOST of the Potteries have now CLOSED... No more Weller JB Owens Roseville Brush McCoy and Hull. JUST to Mention a FEW.
Here we are looking at some examples of thingys that are now being THROWN by the potters of TODAY.
THis is a Pretend Kitchen that shows that CERAMICS/POTTERY is STILL used fur. Working with clay.... has been around fur THOUSANDS of years... it is even mentioned in the Bible. One of the OLDEST Pawfessions.
We guess that this adventure wasn't TOO bad. Butt Ernie STILL says that Cussin Francine is a CRACK POT. BaaaaaaWaaaaah.
