Dreams do come true.

When I was really young I had frequent dreams of meeting Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy – they would come to my house and be just as funny as they were on T.V. Well, I must say life has a funny way of making my dreams come as close as they can to reality…….

The Museum of Science and industry is currently showing an exhibit called “Jim Henson’s Fantastic World”. Trying to take pictures was tricky indeed; the security was TIGHT! But I managed to get some sneaky ones on my phone:
