A letter from the united states

Dear Diary,

Angelo:  Today, we received a letter with photos from our newest friends in the United States.  This is what they wrote to us.


Dear Angelo & Adam.  

    We know that naturally you are curious about your new friends in the U.S., so we have sent some pictures of me, Giancarlo and Tony.  In these photos we have just come inside from a walk and some fresh air.  Even though spring is just around the corner, it's still a bit chilly.  In fact, we had a dusting of snow last night.  I'm the one with the blond hair and striped sweater.  Giancarlo has dark hair and is wearing a plaid jacket and green shirt and Tony is the tall one.  He's wearing his new Kidz and Cats shirt and jacket.  Giancarlo is quite charming and outgoing, as you will find out.  He and I really like Tony.  He's a great guy and a lot of fun, even though he can be a bit of a worrier.  He always cautioning us not to play on the stairs.  I guess it's a good thing that we have someone responsible to look out for us when Steve is not around.  I'm very lucky to have these guys.  For a long time I was the only doll in the house.

    Hope you guys are keeping well.  We'll send some more pictures soon of the three of us doing things we like to do.

Sincerely,

Sasha



Adam and I excitedly read the letter several times.  Then, we looked the these photos. We love to get letters with pictures!



Adam:  We know we are going to become the best of friends, all the way across the ocean and half a continent!  Anyone else want to be our friend?

Dolls & lizards?

Dear Diary, I found this young man, Raymond, a doll collector in Hawai'i.  He has a big collection of modern dolls to show us. I think he is a good role model for other young lads who are interested in dolls. He certainly is proud of his collection. I never knew about all these different modern dolls! I must be [getting] old! Hans

His lordship, lord todd wadley

Dear Diary, Jesse :   About 25 years ago, in the age of paper books, I read a story about a famous woman and her boy doll.  I was totally taken with the story and I never forgot it.  In fact, it was to have a huge influence on my doll play and collecting. A couple of years ago, I was thinking about the story and I wanted to find it again.  As advancing age and retreating memory does, I couldn't remember any names and I had many of the details mixed up and incorrect.  I remembered the basic story, however, so armed with sparse information, I began the current age Google Search.  It was a hard slog, going down many dead-ends because of my incorrect remembrance of facts and the scarcity of factual information.  I refused to give up and I kept trying all kinds of combinations of information until, at last I found what I was looking for.  Eureka!  This is an abbreviate story about Joe Corsairs and Lord Tod Wadley.  (The information is taken from various internet sites.)

Leaving New Zealand behind

Dear Diary, Our home has sold and we will leave New Zealand for our new home country next week. I have loved living here and I’m going to miss my home and friends. Not everyone gets to live in little village in the country in an old church and hall. The church was built in 1906 and closed in 2012 when we bought it. The hall was built in 1953. We built the addition which joins the church and hall. Our property boarders on three streets and goes to the upper left corner. The paddock enclosed by the high hedge is part of it. The goats can be see in the back paddock. Now, it’s off to our new adventure! The question is: where are we going? Hans
