Finally the vacation break I've been 'impatiently waiting for these
past few months starts today.. My daughter is driving myself and her
baby Rocco back to Arizona for a few days.. I consider it my home
even though I didn't move there till I was thirty-three years old.. It's
the place I felt was home.. The place I "chose' to move to and start
a new life when I got out of school and was divorced. Myself and
two of my kids.. We lived there for fifteen years.. long enough to
get married and divorced again and start a career for a short time
till I got sick/became disabled.. We left there seven years ago
to move to Sunny Southern california.. but Arizona is stll home to
me.. My daughter and I try to visit every year or two.. Visit old
haunts, favorite restaurants.. They actually have dolll stores there.
and we are stopping off in Palm Springs along the way to visit
a nice doll shop there. Dollsville Dolls, and Bearsville Bears.. I havne't
been to a 'real' doll store in the two years since we last visited
Arizona. It's a cold cruel world.

It's good to take a break from the doll boards once in a while.. Especially
for those of us that are frustrated doll addicts. IT will be
nice to get away for a few days alone with my daughter and her Babba.
It's a four hundred mile drive. Take care friends . Hugs Maria

Ooooh lucky you Maria!

Have a wonderful time!
