Crystal Cave & The Ghost & Mrs. Muir

I spend ten percent of my pay in Crystal Cave's fabulous souvenir shop. Glad to finally get a discount. I got this beautiful crystal today along with a beaded cicada that hangs from my rear-view mirror, and a Crystal Cave sticker for Mehitable's, my travel doll, trunk. Mehitable hasn't been there yet, but soon. I'll get pictures. I also picked up more flowers from the seller along the way, coleus for Shiner's grave and an enormous purple petunia hanging basket for the back porch. Kirsten, the girl in the souvenir shop, told me that the lady who sells them has a son who used to work at the cave. I dressed my Gene doll in her new costume, Love's Ghost, based on The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. I love that book, film, and series. My Gene, Daughter of the Nile, was an old valentine, so these duds suit her. I've never changed her clothes. I sold my other two but still have the trunk and lots of outfits. I'll probably score her some more. I stopped caring for her "creator", Mel Odom, years ago when I saw his commie fakebook posts and how he'd prefer The Pony Hexpress to Space Camp. Spare me. 
   

Valentine's Day at PetSmart

  Arthur had a great time at PetSmart's Valentine's Day party❣ He met lots of dogs and little girls. Arthur is very shy around strangers. He travels very well. Poodles are known to be wonderful traveling companions. I did get Ron Steinbeck's last book, Travels with Charley, in his Christmas stocking. He traveled the country in his convertible with his poodle. We haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm a huge Steinbeck fan. I used to teach Cannery Row. Speaking of poodles there was a gorgeous black girl, Lala, behind us. Arthur got a valentine bag with treats and a soccer ball that he and Frankie love. I got a five dollar off coupon so scored his adorable jammies for $2.50❣ Plus I got a $2 off coupon for next time and a $20 off grooming coupon❣ I'll upload a video later. Happy Valentine's Day❣💕💝💕
