The landscape you live in is beautiful and I'm sure provides much inspiration. I hope to see some art inspired by your new neighbors! They are very charming... and I'm sure Sarge will come to see it in time! I hope to move somewhere eventually where I can grow some veggies... I'll be back to see more... Please stop by and visit again too...Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778062706708568457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863365400520669739.post-69579835507564946332012-09-21T17:54:47.311-07:002012-09-21T17:54:47.311-07:00 My Aunt Eunice gifted my Chatty Cathy on my 7th C... My Aunt Eunice gifted my Chatty Cathy on my 7th Christmas,and a trunk full of lovely clothes! My parents could never have afforded her. I loved her to bits,as you did yours. Mine is a blond, but shortly after I got her, the string came loose from the ring, disappeared down the hole in her back, and she never spoke another word! I still have my Cathy, but her little blue shoes have gone missing.<br /> Thank you so much for your visit, I think I will take a stroll along Harmony Hills.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863365400520669739.post-37314600901041126332012-09-21T11:51:25.807-07:002012-09-21T11:51:25.807-07:00Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog.

I really enjoyed looking back over your blog, you do really beautiful art work. I miss the changing seasons, we left Illinois in 1974, to live in the Fla. Keys spent 30 years there and have been here in north Fla. since 2003. Be blessed and have a great week-end.Werna Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04696263090229149941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863365400520669739.post-17541918763731593842012-09-20T09:09:45.235-07:002012-09-20T09:09:45.235-07:00She is still beautiful Debbie, and I had the same ...She is still beautiful Debbie, and I had the same feeling from my parents also..

By the early 60s he was already pretty patched and ragged, but I loved him. He wasn't "fur", but a red and blue, "stars and stripes" cotton fabric. I haven't thought about Peter for a long time, but I hope he's still with me, in one of the "keep" boxes...(which I am slowly but surely going through!)<br />Hugs,<br />AnneAnne https://www.blogger.com/profile/15378472662224995020noreply@blogger.com
