Hat and Mittens


(Raggedy Anne and Andy,  Bobbs-Merrill Co 1974)


Be sure to put on your hat and mittens before you go outside to play!


(Mr. Garden, clearing some of the snow off the deck to put down food for the birds.)

 Speaking of cold things...
this looks like a really good book about climbing Mt Everest.
I can't wait to start reading it!


 the Eccentric Lady had this in a giveaway on her blog and I won.
Thank you, Sherri!
(She reviews book proofs and then shares the books with friends.)

Update:  I finished this book and really really liked it!
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys adventure and history like I do.
It's a novel, but based on the life of real people and real happenings.

    Are those paper dolls?

    So cute!

    Love looking at the snow! I think I'd like to live in it again but I haven't in so long I might just freeze - ha!

    Have a great week!

    I can't believe all of your snow! We went to Olathe on Sunday and were amazed. My parents are in Olathe visiting my brother and their flight was cancelled twice! They were supposed to leave Tuesday and aren't getting out until tomorrow morning!

    I've always had a soft spot for Raggedy Ann and Andy. Your paper dolls are darling.
    You sure did get a lot of snow. I think reading your new book and playing paper dolls sounds like the best way to beat the chill. Congratulations on your win. I'll have to go check out the link.

    Wowsers! It is cold in your neck of the woods. Too bad I couldn't have taken you along to Sri Lanka where it's warm and tropical all year long. :) That book looks very interesting. We didn't climb Everest when we were in Nepal -- it was the rainy season and very dangerous. But I did drink a beer called Everest. HA! Best wishes, Tammy

    Just ran across your blog and enjoyed it so much. We have a daughter living close to Kansas City and love going there to visit. We hope to go soon - as soon as the ground is thawed and green again!

    We have lots of snow here, too. I sure am tired of it! I haven't heard of the book that you posted about. I'll have to take a look about it on amazon. Stay warm!

    Wow, that's still a lot of snow. Ours is mostly melted, which means another will roll in.
    I love Raggedy Ann and Andy.
