Hello and greetings Reggie,
I haven’t been around for a while because I didn’t get notices that you’d started writing again. So lovely to see your photos – the flowers are all lovely and I really love the photo of the cat.

I’m not sure how I GOT those odd effects, Rosemarie, but I also like them.

You have a great blog going there – good luck with your preparations for the big hike!

Comment on Do you remember Playmobil? by Reggie

You’re very welcome, Rosemarie; I’ve learned so much from reading your posts about your upcoming hike – the legends and histories of these places are particularly enchanting. I wish you well with your hike, as it sounds quite strenuous too!

Aww, how terrible that your books and toys were so badly damaged… – Barbies are luckily very resilient! But I would be devastated to lose my books and such. A friend of mine recently lent me her Nancy Drew books, and I had such fun re-reading them! Happy memories!

Thanks for liking all my research posts on hiking in the Dolomites. Getting prepared. Great post. I know how hard it is to give up prized possessions that were parts of your childhood. All of my toys and dolls and Nancy Drew books were stored in my family’s basement. There was occasional water problems in the basement, and I was sorry to discover that my most beautiful Madame Alexander doll and all my Nancy Drew were damaged beyond salvage. However, the Barbies survived.
