Best Friends

will always play with you, even in the rain.

I loved my Raggedy Ann doll, heart rendered apart by a dog, Mom mended the shattered pieces (as she was to do in later years :)) and she was my confidant, my crying buddy, everything that teenage girls want for in a best friend. I miss her to this day.

A heads up for anyone in the market for CF cards, at Newegg. 2 gig for $44 and change.

Lovely light. She looks quite contented to be able to just rest in the corner.
Karen Stuebing06-Jun-2006 11:25
She doesn't look any worse for the wear and tear. Wonderful capture and light. I'm glad to see you've kept her over the years. You could probably get big bucks for her on Ebay and buy a lot of those CF cards. :)

She's very cute friend and I like the composition you have created near the window with this lovely light! v

Nice Gallery. (I'd miss my dog more, however, than an inanimate object. Then again, I'm a guy). Anyway, I enjoyed your gallery.
