Two girls starting when the oldest was @10. One cocker spaniel, one bowl of buttered pop corn all gathered in a pit. And one of us would always say something like "Meeting Jessica is not good for a long life" or something like that.

MSW grew out of the Ellery Queen show with Jim Hutton that lasted only a year. We loved that one also.
