| Speaking of toys, can you name the toy that was introduced by John Lloyd Wright (son of Frank) in 1916? It was an immediate hit and is still popular today.

| Hmmmmmmmm, me thinks I need hints on this one. My crystal ball is full of fog :). Annette |

| My brain is full of fog. lol. I know that he was an architect, like his Dad, but not quite as talented. Hmmmmm...another building set, TM? Nancy. |

| Well, again, an idea flew into my head immediately, but it is probably wrong as usual. I will be back later. |

| Okay, Nancy and I are probably thinking along the same lines. These were actually one of my favorite things to play with on rainy days. When I grew up, I actually was lucky enough to live in a real one for several years. You can still buy them, although some sets may be plastic nowadays. :( |

| Architect and building, hmm. I made many buildings with these when I was young. A favorite activity when visiting my grandparents. |

| Hello all! TM, you stumped me with the Leggos tower yesterday. Today I can come up with two answers, but I don't know which is the correct answer. I'll have to log back on after the players have done some more tinkering with this question! :-) |

| The fog is starting to lift :) I think I've picked up a clue or two from some of these replies. Cyn lived in one, got building set from Nancy, log from Lorna... these all make me think log cabin sooooo, is it a building set used to build log cabins? Annette |

| Well, I sure didn't live in a tinkertoy house-lol, although they were fun to build with! Yep, I am going with Lincoln Logs. Had no idea Wright's son made them. Neat! I certainly did love our (DH1+me) log cabin. It was built in the 1850s-we refinished the logs and woodwork which had been whitewashed. Turned out to have beautiful honey colored logs. Too bad it belonged to ex-MIL-otherwise, I might still be there! HA. Anyway, hope Lincoln Logs is (w)right, TM. Seems to be the consensus here. |

| Thanks, TM. I never heard that about the name change-interesting. |
RE: Weekend Trivia - Sunday

| Interesting about the name change. Yes. I was thinking Lincoln Logs or Meccano. The Neo-Citron claimed me before I got back on-line. No stars for me!! There's always next week. Nancy. |

| Thanks for the stars, maybe you should deduct a couple:) I had a guess after putting together the hints but I would never have guessed Lincoln Logs as I've never heard of them. Annette |
