One of the things adults remember fondly from childhood but don’t usually do as adults is coloring.  But the rise in interest for “coloring books for adults” is growing.  I have also seen ads for coloring apps on my iPhone.  Adults like to color too!

Love the picture you chose to illustrate this post. I watched "Garfield Goose and Friends" faithfully all through my childhood. The characters, left to right: Romberg Rabbit, Garfield Goose the First, "King of the United States," Beauregard Burnside III (who frequently fell asleep and had to be awakened by the host shouting "hot dogs, hamburgers, spaghetti and meatballs!" in his ear), Christmas Goose, Mackintosh Mouse, and your host, fat friendly Frazier Thomas. It's been almost sixty years and I still remember all that...
