things found
I found two missing things today. One was the name of Mary Power's skating partner (see March 6 blog). His name was Dey LeSuer; he lived in Lake Preston and came from Minnesota.

The other missing thing I found was one of the two broken fingers to my Wendy Lawton Ashton Drake doll. She fell off a shelf a year or more ago and two fingers broke off. I might add that the broken fingers left her making a rather obscene gesture.

I thought I put the broken fingers in the little basket of apples the doll carries. But when I was packing to move, they weren't there. Today, when I was looking for a pencil, I found one of the fingers at the bottom of my pencil cup. The doll is packed, so the goal will be to not lose said finger until I can re-attach it. There is still a missing finger out there somewhere...

That reminds me! When packing my Laura dolls last month to move, I found my missing Cheryl Harness china shepherdess. Seems that I wrapped it in tissue paper and packed it in the box with one of my dolls two houses ago (that's how long it's been missing!). I obviously unpacked the doll twice and overlooked the shepherdess in the box both times.
