Fun with Jade - Wed.. Aug 5th.

Today was a sewing day.

She sewed a little pillow and

a "Leavin's Doll"which is a pioneer doll.

Part of the poem that comes with the doll says -

"A Leavin's Doll, "A Leavin's Doll"

A doll that is little remembered.

Made more of love than anything else

For a child that was not pampered.

She was made from the 'leavin's' or scraps of cloth,

And stuffed with cotton or fluff.

A face may be drawn and tied with a string

Then wrapped in some calico stuff.

After sewing we had fun running around

and doing some errands.

She went swimming with Jenae and Kathryn.

The pool was cleared shortly after

because of a lightning storm.

After work grandpa helped her fix the back bike tire.

She about did it all herself.

We ate at Carl's Jr. She played in the play area with

seven little children who came a little above her waist.

She had a blast.

She introduced me to the game "Bejeweled".

That was a mistake.
