Adventures with Fitzgerald the Dump Truck
Reader's Comments
Love your website. We also do the dump dip. Our daughter had her kindergarten picture taken in her "dump dress." Actually from a bag of brand new clothes dropped by people who were moving.
Also got a nifty dining room rug - emerald green and plush - the installer was dumping it because the customers decided not to install it and he didn't want to take it back to the warehouse! Karen
