VERY SPECIAL PINK SATURDAY (Nellie)


Do you remember when Cabbage Patch Dolls came out?? I
have a wonderful story to share about mine.My first husband
drove 90+ miles from Meridian to Hattiesburg, to the old Gibsons
Discount to get this one for me. The greatest thing about this is
that we had not been married very long. I must have been at least
twenty four.My thought this would be something to hand down to
my daughter if and when I had one. But as you know I only have
two Sons (Chad and Ryan). Two grandsons(Connor and Cooper)
I am going to continue to wait for a granddaughter
to pass her down to!! Gibsons Was SOLD OUT in Meridian,
DANNY was off the next day. I hated to ask him to go,
I made sure he was on the road early. I just knew to be able to
get one he had to be there close to opening. When he arrived,
walked in the(store) Gibsons all he could here were women.
That made it much easier for him to know where they were
located in the store. I asked for her to be wearing
Pink and have dark hair I wanted her to look like me my hair
was dark at the time but it has been blonde
for the last 30 something years. He knew more about me
than I did with getting blonde hair.
Sharing Nellie for Pink Saturday.
She has been with me since 1984..
