Jump into your imagination!

We have a small table in our living room which is actually my favorite piece of furniture because it used to belong to my Grandmother. On the table is a framed picture of a little cottage surrounded by trees and flowers. A stream is running through and there are fat, white clouds hanging in the sky.
The boys are intrigued by this little picture and talk excitedly about their desire to jump into it! Is it a hot day with the sun shining bright? Are there flowers in the grass that we can pick? Can we catch fish in the stream?
The answers vary according to mood. Tonight it was cold and winter but in three weeks it will be summer and we can swim in the stream (says M). Doesn't that sound like fun?
I remember playing this game is a little girl. We had a picture in our living room hanging over our couch. There was something about the colors which were muted blues and greens that just captured me and pulled me in.
I asked my husband if he could jump into a picture where would he go? He said that he would take me to Paris so we could dine on champagne and pastries in a snooty french restaurant. Oh, that sounds good!
If you could jump in a picture, where would you go?

  1. I'd jump right into a picture with a cabin on the lake, lots of broadleaf trees and wildflowers.
    No TV but with a good coffee maker would make the cabin complete.

  2. I would jump right into a picture with blue ocean, blue sky and white sand on the beach so I could run my toes through it, look at all the awesome sea shells that just washed up...feel the slight breeze blowing your hair, oh look, there's a turle crawling from the ocean, look up..all the birds...look at the PINK FLAMINGO over there Robert...
    Oh, I've just jumped back out of the picture, and I need to help with the laundry... Anyway, that was lots of fun, thanks, I needed that. Sara
