      Nope- it blew up! LOL! I DID have the chemistry set, though - it was in a tri-folded metal box.

About Me

My photo
Chickenmom
Mostly about my backyard chickens (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works.... To see my earlier blog, please go to: coopfeathers.blogspot.com
