Hello Ed, TY for the mouse. I should have spelt the name of the doll Kewpie. It is Amira who has the business idea. She has designed a shoe and wants to have it picked up. From memory the shoe has a Chinese influence? Amira is Chinese / Lebonese. She has family in China. Shannon is there to look after Jesse. Shannon is a Web designer and a DJ. He has a regular Friday music show on the radio and also works clubs. I dropped off aout 30 good children's books to a local Primary / Elementary school this morning. They were donations to the Op shop and as we have many children's books I passed them on to the school. The school was delighted. Then I came home and did some weeding as we will have rain for the next few days so I have taken advantage of today's sunshine. Enjoy your day.

Pp ty!

Hello Ed, we are once again at each others gate. Shannon and Amira are in Hong kong on a business trip where Amira wants to get a shoe idea happening. Shannon is there looking after little Jesse. It was also meant to be a holiday as well. Unfortunately when they arrived in Hong Kong they were trapped, in their hotel due to a force 10 hurricane. They were not happy chappies. Now they are in China and will go to Japan next week. Like you I have never been to China but would love to go there. Re, Japan I went there when LRB were playing there. We were only there for a week. Shannon was 7 y.o. at the time. Sarah was under 1 y.o. and has no of memory of it. I loved Japan. Not that I saw much of it. It was a Band Tour and we were well looked after. I well remember being on a speed train to Kyoto and seeing Mount Fuji. That was impressive. I loved walking around the Japanese gardens and ponds. Sarah was quite a hit there and many people stopped me to take a photo of her. They told me that she looked like a Cupie Doll. I ended up buying a Cupie doll, but it is now in the toy box and not a part of my doll collection. Haha, you think that you can waffle on. I can as well. Enjoy your day. Now I must GO TO BED!

Hello Ed TY for the P-p. Re Jason and my daughter Hope, I do wonder what their thinking is? I am not sure what I will do with the doll collection? I will speak to my son Shannon about it when he gets home from China and Japan in a week or so. Meanwhile I had my car serviced today and the owner of the business drove me home when I delivered the car and picked me up when the job was done. Now that is great service! No charge for the driving. I then spent the afternoon knitting as it was too cold to do anything outside and I really could be bothered with inside chores. I watched silly game shows as I knitted. Now dinner is done and I am looking forward to bed and a book. I think that I have to read another book as the one I am currently reading is about WW2. I need something lighter. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, re. dolls. No one in the family wants them. SAD. And Hope told me rather cruelly, that I should sell them now as they will just go to landfill when I die. I protested and pointed out the German antique doll and told her that the doll is worth over $1000.  She just shrugged and told me that none of the family have time to deal with them. Sometimes she can be so thourghtless. SIGH

Hi Ed
