This has been a wonderful journey. We do enjoy the paper so much. Two months ago, my husband had cataract surgery. I took the paper with me to read while I waited. When I finished it, I gave it to a rather forlorn-looking lady who was also waiting. I told her it contained only good news. She accepted it gratefully and said, 'Good, I need some good news.'

Milk filter dolls - I wrote to Reader to Reader asking for directions on making decorative bed dolls using milk filters. I received several letters, some with directions, and others asking for them. A few folks sent me filters that I made into the dresses for the dolls.

On the Internet, I found a source for more milk filters and dolls to use. Here is a photo of one I made. I have three granddaughters, and when they turn 10, I will give them theirs. One doll is blue, another's red, and the third is a mixture of pink, orange and yellow flowers and ribbons. In the '50s, the dolls were put together with yarn. Today, I use a hot glue gun - it goes faster, and I can glue on all sorts of pretties.

Baby's best friend - When my great-granddaughter Ava Elise Fowler was born, we worried how Ollie (who had been the baby for several years) would accept the baby. This photo, taken when Ava was 2 months old, shows we need not worry - Ollie loves and protects her. We think this picture shows it.
