Pirates of the kinder bin

As children Mommy and Daddy both remember the joy of building clubhouses. This was usually done by draping blankets over tables and chairs to create tike-sized hiding places. Grandmother and Granddaddy Edds thought the boys might enjoy a club house for Christmas and searched extensively for just the right kind. They choose a pirate theme because Daddy Dave loved pirates so much as a child. In fact, his room retained its buccaneer-themed decor until he left for college, but that’s another story. This pirate fascination has also been rekindled by the recent movies “Pirates of the Caribbean” staring Owensboro’s own Johnny Depp.
