I don't think she had a copy of the book at our home until later either, when we both discovered old copies in an antique store! My mother collected the M.A. dolls...and I was so thrilled that she bought this one and promised it to me. Yes, She's very special to me. <br /><br />I am so glad that we share our love of the Lord as well...He is the bond that causes our friendships to blossom for eternity! Hooray!Pamela M.

You have encouraged me today by your words. Sometimes we writers get discouraged thinking that no one is really paying attention to what we write...and then someone comes along and tells you otherwise. That is just the spark I needed today to get back to the basics of why I started writing in the first place---to be a messenger of God's hope and encouragement to others from the midst of my own personal struggles and encounters with God. Once in a while I take a little detour out into funsville and have a tea party or some other fun event, but then I realize I need to get back to where I started from. Thank you again. I am looking forward to getting better acquainted with you in the future!! Blessings, Pam.Pamela M.

It helped to make a long Sunday afternoon go by so much more pleasantly! You are welcome to come to tea with me anytime! My mother had quite a collection of Madame Alexanders, and some were given to her granddaughters and great-granddaughters upon settling my parents' estate this past year, but this was the one I chose to keep...and the one I knew my mother had wanted me to have, for the reasons already stated. I have a couple of other smaller M.A. dolls that were gifts to me as a child from my grandmother and my mother, so they are special as well. I am not a serious doll collector, but have been given several dolls throughout the years by friends and my husband, so I have enjoyed "playing" with them! Never too old to enjoy the "finer" things of life! Like tea parties and "bosom friends". Have a blessed day, and come back again!Pamela M.
