HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

DAY 161

It wasn't too long ago I had a feeling someone was behind me.  Of course i was alone but the feeling was that of my day behind my left shoulder and as I was working at my teaching job I felt him say to me how proud he was of what I was doing.  Whether you believe in ghosts or not I have to admit that if he saw me today he would be proud of me.  I am a hard worker and made something of myself despite my meager beginnings and my rough start.  So Happy father's dad to all dad's out there!

DAY 160 Headed out to Orlando and we need to stop at Kmart there to see If  I can find some more baby steps dolls to finish my collection. I am looking for the Asian and African American doll of this series.   Here is one I found from an awesome lady named Barbara at the flea market.  Barbara is so positive and such a gem.  In fact I sell dolls to her rather cheap so she can sell them at a fraction of the cost but I told you that already.  Anyway this doll had some wacky hair but my son had faith in me and this is the end result.      


DAY 159
 Friday and my son just got picked up by his dad and I have some time to spend with my friend Lee at the doll shop.  There we get some doll therapy and girl time and I am grateful to have a friend.  We sit and talk for two hours about everything and anything and at the end we agree having dolls to dress and fix up is so rewarding because when you take something that looks horrible and can give it a wonderful makeover and bring it back to a state of functionality it seems more rewarding than your stubborn child that is mad about having summer off and homework to do. 

DAY 158 Thursday 



What is a DVP doll and does it really say "Made in Denmark"?  Well I am not sure and I look on the internet and can't seem to find much but I do know this little $5.00 beauty was worth the money because I am hungry for knowledge and having her sitting in front of me has given my doll quest a whole new avenue.  Perhaps if I spoke and read Danish like my great grandfather I would be able to look up more on a Danish web site.  However my bilingual skills stop at Spanish, some Swedish and a little German.  Alas I have to succumb to the English internet highways that so far, have lead me to a dead end.  My Island girl my husband named
