[Leica] IMG: Cotton Candy Machine

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Sonny,

I agree, if they will do it.  The younger brother of the birthday girl, 
now 22 months, toddles around at these functions gnawing on a carrot.  
He also had a rosy face from eating fresh strawberries.  It was not all 
junk food. :-)

There was also some yellow watermelon that was enjoyed by both adults 
and kids.  I didn't try it, but they said it was very good.
