We used to sneak out at night too.

I will always remember Fizzies, hoola hoops and playing jacks. It was such a simplier time of life for me, but I can see it was difficult for you. I do hope you will keep a couple of the Madam Alexander dolls for yourself.<BR/><BR/>:-)Nazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316554604305098721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734216381949554441.post-89166788274622476562009-01-09T09:56:00.000-06:002009-01-09T09:56:00.000-06:00OKAY...so WHERE is your ONLINE SHOP???

I can understand not wanting to get rid of the dolls. I lost a lot of things in childhood too and as a result there are some materials possessions that I have that I just cannot let go.

And to know you were leaving all of your treasured belongings, your secure neighborhood, your friends... essentially your childhood. No wonder you're a mess. Bwahahaha. I jest. I'm only saying that because you kept me up blabbing until 3am and I've only had 3 1/2 hours of sleep. My stomach hurts from laughing and mascara is still all over my face from crying. <BR/><BR/>Going back to bed.

The Diva and Peepers have both also enjoyed him.<BR/><BR/>BTW- I loved Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah (A Letter From Camp) growing up.

Look at what a wonderful family you have now. That speaks volume of your strength and character despite TBR asinine adventures.<BR/><BR/>I gasped out lout (GOL) when I saw the Alice doll. I had two growing up. One Cinderella (poor version) and the other was Alice. I played with both and they are far from mint condition, but they were loved. I think I even cut Cinderella's hair a bit. But my daughter has both proudly displayed in her room. She loves them simply because they were mine. The Alice has always been my favorite--maybe that's why she kept her original locks. You have to keep her!Heather Kerriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479515041675909393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734216381949554441.post-82767796017302503052009-01-09T04:48:00.000-06:002009-01-09T04:48:00.000-06:00What a wonderful find.

What was wrong with this woman. I can't even imagine doing that to my kids. I mean I have total guilt taking them away from school for a few days let alone running away in the middle of the night. I've said it before, this is why you are such a special person and who you are today. You took adversity and really turned it around. I'm honored to know you...invisably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
