TONKA

Here's a throw back to our childhood.

My sister Cary comes in and tells me she has a pet turtle.  I immediately know she's talking about the very same turtle Eric found a week or two before, that we introduced Cassy to.  Oh, but Cary and I do different things with turtles when we're left alone.

Creeped out yet?  There's no need to be.

Meet Tonka.

Yes, Cary and I have a long-standing relationship with actually painting painted box turtles.  In the past we used nail polish; today we apparently use sharpies.

He's rather proud as a peacock, is he not?



Yes, I AM a cool turtle.
