A Boy Doll Diary - The photo story about a man living with his boy doll

Dear Diary, J esse : I want to share this photo of the boys.  It's not always easy to get them to sit still together for a photograph.  I like this photo because it gives a peek into each doll's unique personality.

Dear Diary, This is what happens when a young girl with scissors is left alone with a doll: "Could this be any worse?" "I must have had holes in my head to trust that child! When a young boy with scissors is left alone with a doll, you'll probably get a cut and styling. "How would you like the sides and back?"

Dear Diary, A dam :  In the past, Jesse and I have been very critical of the shoddy design and production of many of the boy doll clothes we have purchased from Carpetina. We've made no secret of our dissatisfaction with almost every item of clothing we've purchased.  The fit, styling and craftsmanship have been below grade, not to mention the use of poppers and velcro.  When the newest boy outfit, coat with tails was offered, we were very reluctant to purchase it.  However, we couldn't resist and did buy it, keeping our expectations low. Well, imagine our utter amazement when we opened the package and examined the goods - the outfit was fantastic and we were very chuffed!  We were so pleased that we felt it merited a positive post, complimenting Carpetina on an excellent product. Getting a good view all around. Although the fabric is just polyester, it does look pretty good.  The design of the clothes actually fit Adam and there is enough ...

Never trust a man who, when left alone with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Dear Diary, A dam :  Another letter from Minneapolis - yeah! D ear Adam and Angelo - Our little friend Emile recently became part of our family.  Emile is from France and he's a very charming and outgoing boy, although he can be quite outspoken in his opinions.  We quickly learned not to get Emile and Giancarlo into a debate on the merits of French vs. Italian culture. Emile believes that a daily stroll is a quintessential Parisian activity.  He will not forgo his walks, no matter what the weather is like. Even though it has been rainy and overcast here, everyday Emile takes his umbrella and raincoat and goes for a stroll around the garden. Emile is a very colorful little boy in many respects, and we have become quite fond of him. Take care. Sasha

Dear Diary, J esse :  The other day I was at the haberdashery, looking at the knitting wools, when I saw this discontinued yarn, marked down by two thirds.  That was a great deal so I bought 3 skeins which meant I could knit three garments for the price of one.   The boys went out to the garden to get their photos taken.  Today was the first sunny day we've had in a fortnight and we were keen to enjoy it. That's a whole lot of orange!   Most of the plants in the beds were selected for bees and birds. And to think this was just a spindly stick last spring when it was planted. Soon the bees will arrive to work over these blossoms. Have basket, will travel.

Dear Diary , A ngelo : Living on a small island at the bottom of the globe means that everywhere is overseas, including going to the North Island of New Zealand.  Consequently, we don't get abroad very often and I have to travel vicariously with my friends. "Computers bring the world into my home." Henry is my friend who lives in England.  He gets to go to so many wonderful places!  I love to read his blog so I can go along with him.  His mum takes fantastic photos and I see things I'd never have the opportunity to see otherwise.   "I enjoy my time travelling with Henry." I watch for the updates.  Today, I discovered that Henry has been on the road again, this time to Cornwall to visit the Tintagel castle.  Wow!  History all over the place: kings, castles, knights, and folklore.
