the story of how Ken and I became a couple when I posted on our anniversary a couple of years ago.)We spent some time out with Emma while Ivy was in school, and had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. ( Garlic Mozzarella bread and avocado egg rolls!). We also stopped at the Disney Store on the way home. I found these goodies on clearance:
I love the faces and the colouring on the Tinkerbelle and friends.
We intended to have dinner with Ivy, Fuzz, and Fuzz's girlfriend, but only Ivy ended up being able to come with us. I was still fairly full from lunch, but eating is Ken's thing, so we had dinner out, with Ivy, at a local restaurant. I brought home part of my eggplant parmesan and spaghetti.
As I said in my post the other day, I finally broke down and ordered an A Girl For All Time Clementine doll. Well she arrived the other day, so I'll be posting my review of her soon. I also made some interesting yard sale finds this week, and I'll be showing you some of those.
Wow, 26 of marriage is something, congratulation and best wishes :) Also, you have PRETTY and I mean it- PRETTY hair on this pic.
ReplyDeleteI like Vidia and Fawn (both dolls) faires, those less articulated dolls are able to be transplanted to EAH bodies.
Well thank you very much, for the wishes and the compliment. (Although I have to admit my curl is from artificial sources. My hair is naturally very straight.)
DeleteVidea and Rosetta are my favourites.
My youngest loved Disney Fairies. She has a doll set similar to the one you have; I think hers has another fairy or two.
ReplyDeleteYou and your husband look cute together! Happy anniversary!
Maybe she has the set with the white haired friend in blue.
DeleteThanks!
Happy Anniversary to you both! Sounds like you had a lovely day :)
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed reading about how you met!
Hugs Sharon, a Brit in Spain!
Thanks so much.
DeleteYou read the other post! It's an usual story. My kids like hearing it.
I did indeed read your other post! And I meant to ask, does your hubby still have his Yorkshire accent?
DeleteNothing very interesting but the very first time I went to the US, Seal Beach in California to be exact, in 1982, I met and fell madly in love with a guy from Halifax, W.Yorkshire, he was working for Boeing I think it was.....we had a 'romance by letter' for a couple of years before we both 'moved on'.....told you it wasn't interesting! He ended up marrying a girl from Belize and still lives in CA, in a place called Irvine....and I moved to Spain!
Yours was a nice romantic story, only without the 'happy ending' I was expecting! Yes, Ken still has his Yorkshire accent,but it's not as strong as it started out. A lot of people still have trouble understanding him though! I never did, but then, I was used to my friend Jenny, whose accent far surpasses Ken's! Ken's sisters, who live in England, have much stronger accents than he does. When we were visiting, he started to pick up more of an accent just before we left. I think if we had stayed much longer he would have gotten a lot of his accent back. Just last week we went to two yard sales in one day where the ladies that were running the sale just gushed over his accent. The running joke is people saying they could "listen to (him) talk all day". I always joke and say, "That's because you don't have to!"
DeleteCongratulations with your anniversary! The fairy dolls are cute, and the Tinkerbell doll that flutters is too :-). Glad your Clementine has arrived!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll be posting about Cementine soon.
DeleteCongratulations to your anniversary :). I'm finally back from my holiday - hopefully I can post about my journey this week.
ReplyDeleteI thought you weren't going for a couple of months? Well, I look forward to hearing about your trip.
DeleteNo, just for 3 weeks :). I'll let you know when it's up
