Rag Dolls

On my continuing theme regarding how much Shelly & I resemble one another as children, I have more photo proof. 


Shelly was in her 2nd grade class play and played the part of a rag doll. She wore the exact same costume that my mother made for me when I was 8. Right down to the yarn wig that my mom had saved in the box of Halloween items at my parent's house. Can't tell you how happy I was to find the costume and even happier to reveal the wig in that box. I was not eager to recreate a Raggedy Ann yarn wig. 


Thank you, mom---once again---for being there for me. I love you!
