Richelle: My feet are killing me---what a long day, full of all sorts of surprises.
Ryan: Well, it's official...! Vickie and Joe are engaged.
 |

Kevin: Yea, that was a blow---another guy bites the dust.
Belle: Really??? (grrrrrr)
 |

Sindy: Goodness, it's even on the news on Channel 7. Joe is listed as an 'unknown' fiancé. I wonder if they will let me make the wedding cake?
 |

Rory: Cake, I thought she was going to give him the heave-ho....for missing the Press Opening.
Sindy: Well, all is fair in love and war...sometimes it's not clear who the winner is.
 |

Midge: Now, that's funny.
Barbie: I think it's romantic....especially the part where she said she 'kneed' him into submission. (laughing all around)
 |

Belle: Good night girls....(ignores Kevin trailing behind)
Kevin: What? Did I say something wrong?
Richelle and Ryan leave for their apartment---and the girls are still talking.

Rory: I thought it was a great party---the shrimp were divine and deveined. My favorite.
Sindy: I'm sorry I missed it...! Wonder if they will get married right away---or have a forever engagement like Richelle and Ryan.
Mulan: Richelle, sure didn't look happy about it, did she?

Further up the yard in the kitchen garden. Richelle stops at their favorite spot,
where they got engaged.
Richelle: Your mom was pretty blunt today.
Ryan:Well, you know Moms always want to be Grandmas, which is way to far into the future. I don't see how we can have a wedding soon, money or time wise. I'm still paying off my loans.
Richelle. I wonder if Joe wants his condo done immediately now---!?! Time---what is that? And where can I get some?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Ryan:Sorry about Mom...but she has a point. Remember we sat here, when I proposed. Sigh---!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Richelle: I know... it's not your fault---we both have to adjust our priorities. Let's give it until the new year---and just not worry about it now. No matter what anyone says.
Ryan: Deal---and that's why I love you, you are so---perfect and practical. I've got an early meeting, let's go to the apartment and sleep on it...(Wink)
(Meanwhile more discussion in the backyard....)

Barbie: My bet is Joe and Vicky don't wait...I think we should plan a shower for them.
(discussion follows)
 |

Zoe: I wonder if Vickie and Joe will want to live here?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: Probably not, Richelle said she was doing the design for his new condo---from top to bottom. This place is rented, maybe we can take over the rent and add two more roommates and get bunkbeds?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Oh, suppose so...Gilly is looking for a new place---I don't know about her though.
Carly: My thought is if she has a job---she's an option.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: I'll have to sleep on that---besides we will see Vickie tomorrow and see what she has to say. This is the first night she's stayed with Joe. Wonder how she likes his cat?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Carly: (Turns out the lights.) That must be an experience. We have another big day tomorrow at Vickie's Vintage. Just all the 'holds' that are being picked up. And, I have two bridal appointments in the morning....and ballet classes in the afternoon---big day. Good night, Zoe.
(no response---Zoe is already asleep)
(HFIM house---always to be continued)
(PS I have to get some pictures in those windows---never see things but through the blog photos, lol. Lighting was intentionally dim---being night time---let me know if it looks okay on your screens)

Sandi, you're amazing! But this just stirred up my old "wound" of not getting the original ponytail Barbie. That was before my time. I had to make-do with short-haired Barbie. Platinum blonde, at that. I at least wanted one with my own honey blonde color.
ReplyDeleteDear Jean. They made so many reproductions---you might want to find one...! There is an adorable bobby-sox barbie (honey blond) out there that is close and not horrid $$. Mine was a birthday and is a no.3--early 1960. I was fortunate I was an only child and it wasn't ruined. I don't really collect, I rescue all these dolls, that were purchased at under $2.00 except for 3, who were play line new. Lara, was at Barnes and Noble 1/2 price---and $15.00-she has been my only (new)splurge. Thanks for peeking in!
DeleteI have so many fun memories of playing with Barbie as a child. What a fun and creative post! Hope you have the best day, CoCo
