The sun will come out tomorrow!

Yep, It's fall all right! Although I think the rain thinks we don't know that, so it keeps pouring... Anywho, my modern friends, Addy, Summer and I have been busy decorating for the season. Kiley is getting to be about as jumpy as Abby when we mention Thanksgiving dinner (It's her responsibility to cook) and Abby has been pestering us nonstop about her birthday (November 26th). I haven't bothered anyone about the fact that it's also my birthday in 9 days, although it would be nice if I got some recognition. So, in case Ms. B wanders by and happens to read this I would just like to say that Shirley has been in need of some new dresses... And that blue polka dot dress is NOT on back order anymore so that's no excuse! Sorry, just had to say it. Oh! Ms. B is going to audition for Annie the musical (Hence the title) which she explained takes place in my time. (And is about me!!!!) O.k., no it's not. I'm not an orphan in the care of Daddy Warbucks. (Sadly) However, I'm excited for her and it will be such fun to learn about a new musical to perform!
Fun Fact: Annie the musical started out as a comic strip by Harold Gray in 1894 and became a very popular radio show in 1930. Little Orphan Annie wound her way into the hearts of many, turning into a Broadway Musical in 1977.

Summer Fun!!!

Hello everybody! Gee, it's been a long time since I've posted. Well.... I have some really important news! I am going to the american girl store in Seattle with Ms. B! Hooray! Ms. B's been working for hours on what she calls her combo list...it's this silly thing where she lists all these different combinations of different things she wants and the totals.... I'd say it's kind of wasteful but I do get to see what she's thinking of getting me. Abby, however, is using all of her willpower to make sure she gets some kind of board with wheels, silly modern people. Summer and I just want the Amelia Earhart doll and the cute light blue dress....what? That's not too much...*sigh* O.K., I guess it's quite a bit. Since i'm going on the trip I should be content. Oh! I almost forgot! Ms. B found a summer play outfit for me! (well, actually she just found these pink knickers to go with my shirt, but it's still amazing!) I hope everyone's having a great summer!

Fun Fact: The Nelson Knitting Co. of Rockford, Ill., is not entirely responsible for the making of sock monkeys, but they were one of the first companies to start putting patterns or directions for making the sock monkey on their boxes of socks. It was a great example of waste not, want not for you got socks, and when they were worn out you got a toy!

O.K., so here is a pic of Sweet Tia and my modern friend, Kiley!

Happy New Year Everyone!

O.K., so I know it's been awhile since Christmas and all... but I have some exciting News!!!! I got... My Shirley temple doll! Although I would have been content with just that, Santa had some more surprises up his sleeve! He gave Ms. B and I nine Shirley Temple Movies on DVD! Then, he gave Ms. B a new house for us, a house in which there is a theater room for Summer and I! Now, that was it for me, but I just had to share about the sweetest present of all, one that meant the world to my friend Kiley. It was a baby sister! She's the sweetest little thing, I just love playing with her!

Fun Fact: In 1928, a contest was held so that the Fremont Canning company could find a trademark baby. Dorothy Hope Smith submitted a sketch of Ann Turner, and it was picked as the winner. Ann Turner came to be known as the most famous baby. She and little Tia are both oh so cute!!!
