Zowey on the sliding board....
Pictured in my header today, is "Zowey," a Florida girl (doll), belonging to my granddaughter Lily. How did she get in such a predicament? Why is she setting in the cold wet snow? Where is her "snow cap?" Well, it seems, a while back, we had family from upstate New York visiting with us. Upon their leaving, and at Lily's insistence, Zowey would accompany them back to their home, in Cooperstown New York. Lily wanted Zowey to have an adventure. As you can see by the photos, Zowey got much more adventure, than she herself would have ever bargained for. Having lived in warm weather all her doll life, she was in for drastic changes. Zowey saw snow for the first time! She learned how to make "snow angels" and would play with children that would show her how to slide down snow covered boards. Life was completely different for her, and she found that these new members of her family were fun to be with. She soon became accustomed to the cold weather and really enjoyed all the winter sports. But, even with all the fun Zowey was having, at times, she was a little sad. She missed warm sunshiney days. Zowey missed Lily most of all, and her toy friends back in Florida. One day, Zowey heard a familiar voice....it was Lily's grandmother. Unbeknown to her, she would soon be on her way back to Florida. With grandmother, she would return back to Lily, back to Lily's room and back to the shelf where she set with all of her doll friends, waiting her turn at play......and back to WARM! I hope your all having yourself a very Merry Christmas season.....Dee Dee
