Since Monday is my day off I passed some time fooling around with my larger My Twinns. I kept thinking back to...February, was it, when I bought Rosemary? No, it was late January, when I was convalescing from whatever illness it was that kept me home for a week. Anyway, on a whim one morning I took this picture of Rosemary and my other then-new Twinn, Justin.
Rosemary and my other two girls (Rael and Salome) are quite fair, and Justin is significantly...more orange than the girls. See?
Yay, I fixed Rael's eyelash! Anyway, I spoke to some friends on Failbook and the consensus is that Justin is an Outstanding Orange Blossom. I don't know what the consensus among collectors is about Outstanding Orange Blossom dolls, but I quite like Justin's unusual complexion. In real life he's got a lovely peachy glow, like he's spent some time outside.
Speaking of outside, Salome has been enjoying the fresh air. The weather here has been summery, then rainy, then springlike, then the cycle starts again. I could handle a summer like this, LOL. Anyway, Salome has a new dress and some new shoes.
Salome is my resident tomboy and prefers her overalls over dresses, and she's not usually fond of pink either. But when I told her the shoes were a gift she happily slipped them on.
Oh yes, the shoes. Barb the Evil Genius sent these to me after finding them at a doll show.
Barb didn't know this beforehand, but for me May got off to a terrible start. Mama had...had something wrong with her stomach and spent two separate nights in the emergency room. The second night was really bad; a woman in the back of the building started screaming like a banshee. Turns out the poor thing was a mental patient having a bad night. As scary as it was for Mama and me I can only imagine what it was like for the nurses...or the patient herself. Anywho, Mama recovered and is fine now, but the month started bad. Receiving these shoes in the mail was a tremendous pick-me-up, and I owe a debt of gratitude to Barb for that. Thanks, Barb!
That will just about do it for now! Unless I can find a red-haired Twinn I won't be discussing them again for awhile.
Stay sober,

You're welcome! I'm so glad they were a help for you, even if I didn't know it at the time. Salome looks nice in them and her new dress. And I'm glad that your mom is better too.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here was up and down for a while too. Now we seem to be coasting into the regular late spring/early summer weather.
I've been in a hospital when a mental patient was acting out; it's definitely stressful. Hopefully for you and your mom, emergency room time is over for a very long spell.
More people around here have fallen ill with similar symptoms to my mother's. We're all thinking now that it's a bug going around rather than the gallbladder, as previously thought. I just hope I don't get it; I don't like pain much.
