We got a new header!

E = Elizabeth,


E: We got a new header, not sure how we like it, but we're going with it for now. Opinion on the madness?

Astrid Roughs It Out Adventuring.

A = Astrid,


A: I went camping a few days ago, I wanted to get a hint of my past, embrace the viking part of me... So, I borrowed Rebecca's horse, packed up some blankets and food and left for around a day-ish.

Here is Shadow and I, outside on our way to, well, wherever. 

I'm thinking around here is a pretty good area.

Yup. Right here.

I dismount and remove Shadow's saddle and release her out to wherever she wishes to go. 

I built my bed, it has an air whole from the stick used as a prop, and the top of the "tent" falls on top of me, forming my enclosed blanket.

I gather some large, LARGE, rocks and set them down carefully, so that they form a table and a chair.

I reach into my bag and pull out my dinner, a hearty bread designed to keep you full.

I look up and notice it is slowly getting dark out. I put on my bandanna for warmth, clean up from supper and go to bed. I fall asleep to the sound of crickets and coyotes howling all around the valley.

The next morning I wake up, it is early and I need a head start if I want to get home before dark.

I get out of bed and eat breakfast, the same bread as last night. And then I call for Shadow.

Luckily, she came back from wherever, because even though I am tough and athletic, trekking through the woods in search of Rebecca's horse doesn't sound fun. That girl is scary when she is mad... Just ask Lewis. 

I pack up, but it feels warm out, so before I place my bag on top of the stack, I remove my vest and bandanna.

And put on a headband to keep my hair out of my face.

I mount Shadow and we start riding.

Before we head completely back though, I want to stop somewhere.

I climb over the stones and get a view of the whole area. It is so beautiful.

Just a glimpse of everything. 

We head back, and the other dolls are happy to see us safe from harm. Though we would have been fine even if we were harmed.

The Doll(s),

Samantha Goes "Camping"

S = Samantha,


S: Bonjour! Last weekend, no not the one that happened yesterday, last weekend a week ago, Mama's family went and slept in their camper! Living in the country just sleeping seventy feet from the house is like camping. And I got to go too!

We watched TV, ate potato soup, and enjoyed watermelon. 

Here I am, with mother's copy of Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid Lindgren. 

This is mother's bed, which is actually the couch folded down. 

Eventually we went to bed.

But the next morning I woke up early.

I peaked out the window, up at the hill to see the morning and hear the birds.

See the trees outside? So peaceful. I could NEVER go and stay outside, in a tent, on the ground, too, dirty! but this is nice. Until later,
