1987 Lewis Galoob toys. Got this one in Singapore in 1988 on my way to London. This one's American package version.
The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family, as are its close cousins tobacco, chili peppers, potato, and eggplant. The tomato is native to Central, South, and southern North America from Mexico to Peru. It is a perennial, often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual, typically reaching to 1–3 m (3 to 10 ft) in height, with a weak, woody stem that often vines over other plants.
The leaves are 10–25 cm long, odd pinnate, with 5–9 leaflets on petioles[1], each leaflet up to 8 cm long, with a serrated margin; both the stem and leaves are densely glandular-hairy. The flowers are 1–2 cm across, yellow, with five pointed lobes on the corolla; they are borne in a cyme of 3–12 together. The word tomato derives from a word in the Nahuatl language, tomatl. The specific name, lycopersicum, means "wolf-peach" (compare the related species S. lycocarpum, whose scientific name means "wolf-fruit", common name "wolf-apple").
Early history
A variety of heirloom tomatoes.According to Andrew F Smith's The Tomato in America,[2] the tomato probably originated in the highlands of the west coast of South America. Although Smith notes there is no evidence the tomato was cultivated or even eaten before the Spanish arrived, this thesis is also questionable. Other researchers have pointed out that many other fruits in continuous cultivation in Peru are not present in the very limited historical record. Much horticultural knowledge was lost after the arrival of Europeans.
There is a competing hypothesis that says the tomato, like the word "tomato", originated in Mexico, where one of the two apparently oldest "wild" types grows. It is entirely possible that domestication even arose in both regions independently. Diversity data suggests the center of diversity for wild tomatoes is located in Peru, while the that of cultivated tomatoes, in Mexico. Thus, it can be hypothesized that wild tomatoes were introduced from Peru to Mexico, where they were domesticated.
In any case, by some means the tomato migrated to Central America. Maya and other peoples in the region used the fruit in their cooking, and it was being cultivated in southern Mexico and probably other areas, by the 16th century. It is thought that the Pueblo people believed those who witnessed the ingestion of tomato seeds were blessed with powers of divination. The large, lumpy tomato, a mutation from a smoother, smaller fruit, originated and was encouraged in Central America. Smith states this variant is the direct ancestor of some modern cultivated tomatoes.
Two modern tomato cultivar groups, one represented by the Matt's Wild Cherry tomato, the other by currant tomatoes, both originate by recent domestication of the wild tomato plants apparently native to eastern Mexico.

Keeping with tradition I made a miniature version of this years Lego display. Really happy with how this one turned out especially the truck. It was very difficult trying to get the details I wanted but I got there in the end. I really enjoy the problem solving that comes with building miniatures even if I do pull some hair out along the way.
The addition of micro skirts to my wardrobe has allowed me to wear these boots more often as I believe there should always be a gap between the top of one's boots and the hem of one's skirt when wearing short skirts. The rule changes for long skirts.

This teeny tiny swoon block finishes at 2" square - which means the HSTs finish at 1/4"!! I set it on point inside a thing pink border and matchstick quilted it with some variegated thread.

only illustration. A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS. Um feliz, feliz Natal. AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR ... AND SO HAPPY CHRISTMAS. E então um feliz Natal.
Racine had a car show for vintage micro cars; i.e., cars with a motor of less than 700 cc, three or four wheels, weighing less than 1,000 pounds and having been built in the 1950s or '60s.There were several dozen cars of assorted sizes and shapes.
These are all different makes. Some I couldn't identify as they had no sign on them, including this first one, which I thought it was really cute!
Update: According to rotec.holger, this is a Mikrus MR300 from Poland. Thanks.
