ohhhh the memories with these 2. lol
I remember going to the Rx drug store, probably don't even have those kind of pharacy's any more.... I remember seems like a skillens and wards then Eckards and now CVS and Walgreens might have always been around, I don't know and I know they had other drug stores I don't know about. I even reeber what the store looked like inside this was in 1973. WOW!
Mom and I went to the Rx drug store and I seen these two I remember really liking them when I first seen them we have always had finacial problems but mom got me 1 of the dolls oh decisons, decisons which one to get I decided on The Quick Curl Barbie, I don't know why i decided on her 1st but I have no regrets I took her home and played with her and curled her hair but we both had a longing for Mr Mod Ken she needed her husand.
I don't know when my parents got me Mr Mod Ken probably was on my 7th birthday.... I know me and espcially Quick Curl Barb was happy! I appreciated mom getting me Barbie I wasn't ungrateful but she was the only Barbie at the time I had and of course I wanted him so we both could all play together. I know I was so happy! I didn't have them long, my dolls, the night before July 22, 1973 my parents, I a friend dad worked with at D Cash Register Co... at the time and this friends daughter Wendy went to our property we found in the woods it's beautiful it looks like "Snow White and The Seven Drawfs" and we had a picnic I had this Long John Silvers Pirate doll the masscott for their copany I guess you'd say and I would throw him to her and she'd throw him back to me, I would chase her and she'd chase me, I don't really remeber to much about that day except it was extremely hot that day and the dad stopped at DQ and got us as sundee to eat was delicous I remember that, and we came home in talked for a few minutes and Wendy and I went in my room and it seems like I couldn't find my babies any where I was really upset and Wendy said that's o.k I am tired you wore me out and she went in the living room told her dad the same thing she wanted to go home the dad said he's sorry when she gets tired she gets crancky and they had a good drive home they left we went to bed, I don't remember mom or dad waking me up, I know one or both did dad had intergestion and went in the kitchen to get a alka seltzer and by the window we had a chair fat white comfortable chair and our curtians where blazing with flames from the fire and mom bless her heart was trying to put it out my dad got he away from it and said wake me up. There was no way she could have stopped it she would have got hurt or killed trying because from our attic and I didn't even know we had one was where the fire stated and it was because the constuction company builders used cheap nickle plated wiring and it fused the fire why it took so long I have no idea we lived there since I was 2 years old.
Thank goodness because of my dad we where able to survive and get out! I kept going back in the apartment and mom kept running back in we were on the top building and I was scared to jump of the balcony I was afaid I would break something I finally junped to my dad's safety and mom.
Dad went to help all our neighboors in the building he had to break windows and we were so scared because a long time there we didn't see him the night was solid blk with purple and blk skies above us it was scary and here comes dad relief flooeded though us and terror he had a bloody arm with a long gash ans his muscle was hanging out of his arm none of the neighboors wanted to help one man said his keys whee in his apartment another just had their car upholsted and didn't want to get blood in his car every one had a excuse a police man was very nice he took dad to the hospital and 2 others took us in their police car to the hospital it was devaating and absolutely terrifying for us al; the fire, lossing eveything we owned the most horifying was seeing dad with his arm like it was we were so scared he was going to bled to death before anyone would help us. Thank Goodness for the Angel Officer in blue.
I wont say her name on here she probably wouldn't care but Mrs JC and her son B lived in that apartment and I don't know if he son was with his father I don't remember dad saying the young boy was there but Mrs C woke up by dad started screaming her hair in rollers she thought dad was a bugular and he finally calmed he down to let her know the apartment complex was on fire and he got her out safely and she made a big effort to find out where we were living at the time at my dad's father's house and she wrote a extremly sweet thank you note. Will never forget her for that and we ever she and her son are we wish them the best, happiness, good health and much love and safety for them both.
Mom and I gave my big Raggedy Ann doll to a ltttle girl name Kristy who was my age in the fire and she gave me her nice barbie doll house with a barbie doll I appreciate it so much her kindness and thoughtfulness and I wish we could find one another again.
We had all my toys and clothing everything that was not large stolen from us and my great grandma mom's mother's mom is a wonderful lady but she was forgetful and left the garage door unlocked and people where stealing from us in there too.
These dolls and I have a lot of history together in out short time together but we found each other again I found them and I was so happy on ebay their used but they look like the ones I had and that's exctally what I wanted.
I have some stories to share with you.
They danced a lot and 1 time like in the comercial with Ken and Barbie I had him pick her up and she was bent over his shoulder and I had her feet kicking saying put Me down, Put me down right now! I remeber that like it was yesteday.
well I couldn't sleep I wasn't feeling to well I still don't feel like I should but I shall try to sleep nightmares and it makes me dread going to sleep.
