Is it also 3 hours for things like groceries?

There's a small local grocery market, well stocked but with higher prices. Walmart and chain grocery markets are in Cedar City, so yeah, 3-hour round trip.

At least I don't have to pay for a round trip ferry passage on top of that!

3 May - A Doll A Day 2023:

Another forgotten diorama project:

Sometimes a Box is Just a Box

I had nearly forgotten about this simple doll-size "room box." It was constructed a couple of years ago as a kitchen, but the size ended up being too compact for kitchen use. It also served a few times as a generic office type space in a few photo-story installments.

After that, it was relegated to its roots... as a box.

Currently two 1/6-scale motor scooters and a 1/6-scale piano are stashed away in this box. The piano player, a generic male action figure, was in here, too. And to my surprise, Solo in the Spotlight Barbie was in this box. I never would have found any of these items if I had been looking for them. I had forgotten I'd put them in this box, and I'd forgotten about this diorama until I was moving some things around in the storage shed and uncovered it.

While I like the gift wrap wallpaper, this box has proven too small for practical use with dolls or action figures. I shall likely salvage the wood trim and send the cardboard box to recycling. Its practicality for storage purposes is impaired by the lack of a lid, so there are better places for Barbie, Piano Man, and the motorbikes.
