We moved a lot throughout my life and I could (but won't) write a book about the things that somehow didn't make it from one house to the next. I thinkn parents assume we've "outgrown" something and they donate it or otherwise dispose of it for us. My four kids have pointed out I've been guilty of this parental naughtiness too. My only defense is that if we kept everything they ever had we could need six houses to keep it all.<br /> Your lads are adorable, by the way!Rapunzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381797135241461102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249867850350388127.post-55638459167825690932011-12-29T08:22:44.120-06:002011-12-29T08:22:44.120-06:00Oh, I had a tiny tears doll, I called her Pauline ...Oh, I had a tiny tears doll, I called her Pauline and I loved her so for so many years and then when I was twelve she came up missing, I think she ended up being accidentally donated to a childrens ward at a local hospital. We never found her, I was quite devastated.Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249867850350388127.post-55272004927117854872011-12-28T12:00:57.622-06:002011-12-28T12:00:57.622-06:00Correction: Papaw Abstained.

You told me ages ago I should write essays about all the little stories no one younger than me knows ; ) <br /> Dolls are a good entry to that maybe. I had to start somewhere after all.<br /> No, not all of the ten children lived to adulthood. Three died as babies or small children. That is what got Mamaw into the Mormon church....while most of Christianity would have her unbaptized babies roasting in hell, the Mormon missionaries told her that her babies would wait for her in the spirit world until she died, and she would raise them in heaven. She liked that idea, got baptized and had her children baptized as well. Papaw obstained. He apparently felt religion was for women and children. He always liked to have the missionaries visit though.Rapunzelhttp://shmataboro.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249867850350388127.post-37776657259451860052011-12-27T20:09:14.259-06:002011-12-27T20:09:14.259-06:00I'm not a big doll-love,, but I DO love lookin...I'm not a big doll-love,, but I DO love looking at pictures and reading stories about Patty Jo. All these stories are news to me--- I didn't even realize she was the youngest of ten. Did they all live to adulthood?Rebekahhttp://www.jauntydame.comnoreply@blogger.com
