Sometime this morning my new dolls arrived. They came by courier but we didn't hear anyone at the door. I just happened to notice the box beside the side door, which fortunately is under the carport as it is raining today. Anyway I am happy to report that Jane and Reba have arrived!
Jane will live in Dolton Proper and might get invited to the Vampire House. WE'll see if she can behave. But if she's anything like me.....
Reba will stay NFRB for now. If I can find a suitable spot in my cabinets for her, then she can come out of her plastic prison but will stay in the cabinets except for performances! She is wearing her famous "Fancy" gown. Reba performs it everynight as her closing song. I always wanted to make a "Fancy" gown but I think I would have made it all in velvet, although the song says it's only velvet trimming. The doll itself is just a Barbie and does not look like Reba IMO. Although she does have Reba's new hair style. I have 3 albums/discs by Reba so now I can have a full evening concert of her performing all her songs.
Oh and today the Faith Hill and Tim McGraw pix were released. I'm not impressed. Faith just looks like a blonde Barbie and the outfit is not that great either. The Grand Ole Couple set that Mattel did back in 2000 is more authentic than the new Faith and Tim couple. Oh well I'm sure they will sell. I'll wait for them to drop in price if I get them at all.
As I mentioned above it is raining today. So another good day to spend in Dolton. Yesterday I was out all day in the glorious sunshine walking around the shopping district of Cornwall and later working in the backyard. There were a load of bricks piled up against the garage, which needed to be moved. Took over an hour but I got them all placed at the back of the property for now. Not sure if we will use them or not. We have a brick patio which also has to be dug up once the pool is gone, it will be relaid when we finish the deck. As we plan to put stairs from the middle of the deck to the lawn below like we had in Mississauga. Jack's son is supposed to come this weekend to help us drain the pool but if it's pouring rain (as the weather man has predicted) then it may have to wait. I am so anxious to get rid of this pool!
I had to use Jack's camera again for today's blog picture of Jane and Reba as I am still not used to mine. Turns out it was made in Mississauga! That city is haunting me! It is a brand new brand of camera and mine is the first off the line. I guess the Heart and Stroke Foundation received them as a trial for their prizes. It's called an HQV. It's so small compared to my previous digital camera which was a Fuji. But it also can make video and can take 3 pictures in a row if you are taking moving scenes. I doubt I will ever use it for such. I am at the stage in my life where I hate learning new technical stuff and it frustrates me to no end that I am not comfortable with this new camera, although I guess eventually I will be as used to it as my old one. I am not a patient person!
I have come up with yet another layout plan for Dolton. I am overwhelmed with boxes still that I have no place to put and if I unpack them have not enough room to put their contents. It will work out eventually I hope. But it is depressing at times, so I walk away from it. Some days I wake up with a new idea so I know my subconcious mind is working on a solution. I just wish it worked a little faster LOL
Well that's all for today folks, time to play!
