In the twilight of dawn I dream of home Our food tastes with the smell of smoke the fire crackles in the earthen stove The air is so fresh after the summer storms When torrents from the mountains flood the river banks The sky is decorated with twinkling stars The moon pours her light upon bedside floor The crickets play their nocturne all night long The river makes its gurgling in the valley beneath The rice is ripening in the fields They fill the air with the smell of harvest Oh, home that I once had in childhood, Can I have again in adulthood?

apparently.. after a week.. no one has experience ... on the specific topic you wish ken

("Are you hungry?" "I don't know. What time is it?" ;o) You sure that ain't a way to measure a horse, Dan? One hand equals 4 inches. The British still do it that way, too. I wonder what else they retain of their Imperial measurements. The US is stuck pre-revolutionary times. You'd hardly know that the USA is a free nation the way so many cling desperately to the past. And in this case, a colonial past . . . Along with Burma (reactionary people, ain't they?) and Liberia (former colony for resettling US slaves), the USA stands outside of the International System. It has gotten so we even have a tuff time talking about units of measure with the Canadians. They made the change over 35 years ago so there are plenty of adults who have had no experience with the Imperial system. The USA, on the other hand, is permanently stuck as the 13 Colonies. digitS'

I have the Queens of Gold, Jewels, Pearls and Silver that you are looking for. I also have originals of Abigail #332 (15" doll), Goldilocks #157 (13" doll) and Miss Muffet (13" wax look doll). I have black & white copies from my grandmother of Peach Blossom #196, Birthday Girl #210 and Princesses Sunrise & Sunset #407. I would be interested in traded/exchanging/sharing these with you for Christmas Angel, Easter Parade, Snowflake, Twinkle Star, Sweetheart, Mother's Lullaby and Annabelle. I think I could be interested in Harvest Moon (if it is the companion to Cactus Flower - I can't remember) and Miss Daffodil and Miss Lily (if they are not for the air freshener dolls). My email is witchiepoo1@cox.net. I will be looking forward to your response. Thank you, Shannon.
