I am pretty sure I still have this doll packed away. She was a talking doll. “I want another drink of water!” I remember that, but she said a few more lines as well. The doll was introduced in 1964. That was just a little before my time, not much, but a little. The hair on my doll never looked like this, it was permanently parted. Her big bald forehead was prominent and it was full of scuff marks. No mommy of the year award for me.

It is hard to believe that we are halfway through the month! Jiminy Cricket! I hope you will take a look at the party art. There are some really cute critters, and an awesome abstract tree. If you need a moment to chill, have a listen to this. Merry, Merry, Joy, Joy!
