On top of that, I have to worry about this doll. (See below. Ad work comes first, you know.)
People wonder where I get my ideas from, and this is a fine
example. I saw this doll in a thrift shop and fell in love with her. (Yes, I
love thrift shops. :) She is
unusual for our area. For one thing her eyes blink, not something you’d usually
see in thrift shop. Her little dress has Ich Bin Lieb Stamped on it, which is
German. (She needs her panties repaired.) My daughter knows how to fix ratty doll hair, learned on Pinterest. I am not a doll collector, btw. This one just caught me.
Moving on to examine the doll's back... She evidently spoke at one time. I’d
love to hear her, though the tiny record isn’t playing now. If anyone knows how
to get this working I’d love to know.
So. Here’s the story I came up with: This doll was actually
used by a spy. Here’s why that premise is valid: In our tech world we’re
expecting high-tech stuff, rather than the simplicity of a speaking doll
record. Spy catchers could overlook this doll. And there’s no end to the
secrets that little battery could hold.
Oh my gosh! Maybe those stacks at 45 and 78 records could
hold all sorts of secrets! :) Anyway, that doll fascinates me and I’m certain there is a
story in her somewhere… She’ll turn up in one of my books.
The rest of the week is pretty much work because I’m trying
to get those precious links into my Indy ebooks. January and February are hard working months for me, because when spring comes...
There’s always a gripe. Here's a short one: the cost of inkjet
cartridges, which can be more than an actual printer.
If you have any idea what is on that doll’s little record,
let me know?
