Day 2

These are some of the Barbie gowns that I have crocheted in the past few weeks. I love Barbie since I was 11. About 1960. Mama didn't like them so I learned to make clothes for them. First I sewed them. Then I got some crochet patterns for Barbie.

I joined a Ma's Barbie Group. I found them in a CROCHET magizine. I love the group. I have made some wonderful friends. We exchange Barbie gown once or twice a month.

Each of my daughters had about a dozen Barbie dolls. When they grew up and left home, I got their Barbies. So at last count I have about 400 Barbie dolls who need dresses.

I love to crochet. I make baby afghans for the UofU Medical Center New Born ICU. I also make Chemo caps for the Huntsman Cancer Center. About 4 times a year I drive up and deliver as many as I have made. It is one of the few things I can do to give back for all the good I have received.

My wonderful husband is taking a nap. (My father used to call his "beauty naps.") So this is a good time to write.

I made it for my walk today. I talked to some very nice people who were walking their dogs. Cute dogs.

I did the dishes today and the laundry. I did some crocheting, too.

A young man came by the neighborhood and left a bag with a note about shoes for people in Africa. Any kind, size and condition. So I went into my bedroom and loaded up some to give away. Every little bits helps.

I'm slowly going through stuff in this house to clean up the place.

LIFE IS GOOD.

More tomorrow.
