Reminds me of when I was ten years old and had a penfriend in the lower US area I wrote to for a couple of years until I sent a pair of tiny maori dolls as a Christmas gift.. Never heard from her again. We were totally floored at the time. Must check this one out. Thanks Wendy.

I grew up in the 50s and remember visiting relatives in the South and being shocked by the attitudes and what I saw. Growing up in the North, we didn't see things like this. So it was very confusing for me.Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.com
