Laura, I'm sorry to hear about your sister..how very sad..perhaps she didn't want to talk because it's overwhelming for her to find this out....keep calling and just tell her you love her .. that's all she needs at this point maybe...sending prayers for you..you sure have had a tough year..perhaps 2009 will bring happiness back into your life...praying for that...

Shar, OMG look how he had grown, a real little man..don't see the baby in him anymore...sad isn't it when they grow so quickly..can imagine that he'd not want to leave..he so loves his grandma...Will he get to spend time time at Christmas with you? Do hope so... hope nothing major with your furnace...60's wow what I wouldn't give..although the snow is lovely and I do like it enjoy it but only when I don't have to drive in it..

Olympia Laura, lol, you'll have to go in search of those presents and keep them to enjoy yourself..you brought some memories back, had to go look for it this morning, have it safely put away..this was not a gift by grandma who raised me and it's probably about 35 years old or so..had a kiln and molds when ceramics/porcelain was the in thing and grandma came to stay with me for awhile..I was doing porcelain doll, crying bylo, remember her because someone took her once she was finished and in her christening gown, oh well, so I poured face/hands and face and grandma made this doll..body is made of old wool undies (yuk-lol/freshly washed though...)she took her old apron and I soooo can remember her wearing it in the kitchen everyday...then some embroidery floss and glued it to her head..she even made little booties...
it saddens me to know she'll be thrown in the garbage when I can no longer live here or pass on.. thought I'd share her...
