I was leaving this as the top, but now that people are commenting Oh Lilo! ((throw my arms around your neck with glee)) such delight to have found her again. Luck Sclumpel to have had you as her friend twice in life. I had dolls, but a baby sister and cats (my greatgrandmother made us Raggedy Ann dolls and I did play with her, but I also loved to take off her dress and put it on the cat. He didn't care) were more fun to dress up. I was more of a tomboy, riding bikes, climbing trees (and fireplaces and fences), snitching raspberries off the cane in the front yard. Or barbies. Sis and I loved barbies. Put them in our skate (did skate with them a lot though) to use as cars. I would pull them around by the string. Then, the bookcase was a highrise apartment complex. There was a bracket that stuck out a bit and I would tie a string around it, then the dolls belly and she would ride the "elevator" up to the top. Or I painted their lips with fingernail polish to look like shiny lipstick, take their heads off and put a ring over their necks to put on the "necklace" and then put the head back on. As you know, I grew up very military. was my barbie's husband. Not that sillly ol' (put some meat on yer bones boy! grow into a man, then we'll talk!). Still today, I'd rather have a beefy guy than the rather slender Ken kinda guy.

Oops, I was out of town yesterday (again) and didn't see this! Not sure why the link didn't work, I set the album to "public"...but anyone who wants to see them is welcome to just access the album through my profile. Thank you Jeri and Anita for "sharing" them. I wish I could have been there in time to meet everyone, but I was delayed in getting away. I wish I was still there!

What version of Windows? Have you tried doing a right click over the empty frame then clicking "download pictures" if it is visible?

Thanks for sharing, Susan. I bet you appreciate this more now. When we're young, it seems impossible our *parents* were ever young lovers. I was glad to discover a certain photo of my paternal grandmother. I'm sure my grandfather took it. He carried it in his wallet. Grandmother is seated with some knitting obscuring her lap. She has a shy smile and a little twinkle in her eyes. I'm guessing she's pregnant with their first son. (It was all downhill for her afterwards, but they are both happy in that captured moment.)
