Rosa by Elaine Cunningham



For my Abeka Reading Program, I'm reading a book called Rosa. It's about a Mexican girl who goes from place to place while her father looks for new jobs. She hates going to different schools everywhere she goes, and almost everyone makes fun of her because she is Mexican. When she gets to Washington she doesn't want to go to school. But when her younger siblings (Graciela & Juna) find a small playground she meets a new friend named Betty, who invites her to come to a Christian school with her. She makes new friends and sings a song in Spanish for a program on stage. She sings "I have decided to follow Jesus". In Spanish, that is "He decidido seguir a Christo."and "no turning back, no turning back" is "No vuevlo astras, no vuevlo astras" in Spanish. It was a great book.

Dolls, Dolls, Dolls!

Thank you so much, Mrs. Mildred!

A while back, Mrs. Mildred from Mildred's Menagerie (& NalleyValley) sent me some dolls she had growing up.
This is as Vintage 1965 Joy Bride Doll by Royal Dolls Co
Baby Dolls
Penny Brite. They recently made a re-make of her.

These are some girl and boy dolls, I'm not sure wht they're names are.
This one is a Shirley Temple Doll.
These are called PeeWee dolls.
