A new friend in minneapolis

Dear Diary, A ngelo :  It's great to make a new friend!  Here's a letter we just received from Minneapolis, USA. Hello Adam, Angelo, and Simon! My name is Benjamin Roy and I have come to live with Sasha, Anthony, Giancarlo, and the others now.  They told me I should write to you all and introduce myself as I am now part of the family.  I can't tell you how happy I am to be here...I was stuck in a box for 30 years when my guardian Mr. Archibald Hetherington Nastyface found my only relative, Daddy John.  Mr. Nastyface arranged for me to be sent to Daddy John and here I am!   The first day in my new home. Daddy John has been so kind to me, he's been working very hard to get me some new clothes right away--it was such a relief to get out of that school uniform! Finally, some new clothes! Daddy Steve and my new brothers have all been very welcoming.  So far, Pete Dakota and I have hit it off the best.  We like to play hide-and-seek out in th

A dam :  We got out the ladder and soon discovered how big and heavy it is!  I wish we had a doll-sized ladder but then again, it most likely wouldn't have reached high enough.   "You take the top and I'll take the bottom."

Dear Diary, A ngelo :  I was sitting and reading when the quiet in the house was shattered by knocking at the front door.  I just about dropped my book!  It was odd because our friends never use that door.  I got up to go to answer the knocking. When I opened the door, there was a stranger at the door, a doll I have never seen before.  He seemed so frightened; he said that he was lost and homeless.  He looked so pathetic, thin clothes, no coat or hat and no shoes.  It's the middle of winter here and so very cold; I couldn't very well leave him outside so I invited him indoors.   I was curious to know more so I asked him for his name. "My name is Simon Helbig." I invited him to come in and get warm.  I thought I'd better call Adam to come and see what's going on.  He is older, after all, and more experienced in the ways of the world. A dam :  Angelo called for me to come and help.  I went in and found him with a stranger doll.  I de
