Preston made room for himself under the table, just like his dad used to do.

Squirt's Mexican Adventure

Squirt is packed and ready to go to Mazatlan

Squirt loves to fly, he always keeps his seat belt fastened.

Squirt wasted no time getting a sombero.

He loves to dance around it.

Squirt is enjoying the culture and the sunshine.


Looking for adventure!

Meanwhile at home, I get a ransom note!

I flew to Mazatlan and began my search.

I asked two tourists if they had seen Squirt?


They told me that they thought he might be in a tower guarded by some iguanas.

Tower with iguanas guarding it, look closely in the vines.

Squirt was not there.

The ocean is so large, could he be out there?

I searched everywhere, who do I ask?

Who wants the ransom money?

The ramson is paid to Manual and Squirt is released!

I would have paid anything to get Squirt home.

Squirt is flying home looking out the window of the plane.

I bet he never leaves home without me again.

Safe at home, I just love that little boy!

My Denver Story

I made it home safe with a few minor setbacks.

I drove through the Rocky Mountains of Denver by mistake

where I played chicken with some elks.

I got a speeding ticket trying to find a bathroom,
.
and drove in Arizona snow. It was a great trip.

Elinor Peace Bailey

I am so excited, I met Elinor at the Denver Sew Expo. We had supper together Thursday night and I was awe struck. I have admired her work and her dolls for so long and then I get to eat and talk with her. WOW!!! Please visit her website and see her wonderful art.
