Christmas 2012: Raggedy Update #6
This simply gorgeous ornament came from my very best friend. We've known each other since seventh grade. We now live in different states so our visits are few and far between. But we were able to spend most of a day together this holiday season and she gave me this ornament which I did not have!

Raggedy Kindness
In the midst of some chaotic times in our household last month, a wonderful care package arrived in the mail. A fellow Lutheran pastor's wife/homeschooler/Looper/blogger sent me two Raggedys and a picture book. I've added them to my collection and will always have an extra smile when I see them. I hope some day to meet my benefactor in person. Until then, I enjoy her blog and hope you will check it out: http://daybydayathomeaway.blogspot.com/?m=1

Lake County Treasures
Our quick trip back to Lake County led to some unexpected treasures that had to come back to Muskingum County.

Happy 96th Birthday, Raggedy Ann!
On this day in 1915, Johnny Gruelle was awarded a patent for his rag doll named Ann.
Andy and I celebrated Ann's birthday tonight by getting out a bunch of "blue dresses" from my collection. (Most were manufactured by Playskool or Applause and a few were homemade.) We sang Happy Birthday, ate pretend cake and lemonade, played with two sets of dress-up dolls (including the lovely magnetic set, given to me by Traci for my last birthday), listened to an audiobook of a Patricia Hall Raggedy story, and then played a silly game on the basement stairs. (Our last house didn't have "safe stairs" to play on so my late Mom used to play silly games with Andy and dolls on her stairs. Andy has many fond memories of those games and the Raggedys were more than willing participants.) Our celebration ended in a giant pile-on.
We hope you enjoy these pictures from our celebration.

Where's Andy?
