Calling on a friend


Rita: "Hi Ann, it's Rita. I'm just about to leave Jo Ann Fabrics now and thought we could have lunch today. If you are not busy."


Ann: "Hey Rita, I'm on the other side of town at Home Depot checking out fences. We could met when I get out of here."


 
Rita: "No, no that ok. I don't want to change your plans at the last minute. I will give you a call later
this week and we could try and get together."
 
Ann: "Ok, that sounds good. Say hi to my friends and I will chat with you later. Bye."
  
 
Rita: "Hi Everyone. My name is Henrietta Roberts. Please call me Rita as all my friends do. My son is Ian who is married to Barbie. Yes, my little busy granddaughter is Allison. I'm also grandmother to Ashley's girls whom I love dearly. I was a Ebay find and I was formally Mattel's Happy Family Neighborhood Grandma. I believe the Happy Birthday Nikki Grandma who arrived with great accessories. I wore gray pants with a paisley top, blue cardigan and blue flats My accessories included a blue plastic purse, gold rope necklace, glasses, books, two gift bags, two gifts, yellow plastic teddy bear wearing a party hat, pink teddy bear chair, yellow rocking horse, photo album, stickers and birthday card. I used to work at Mattel as well then I retired. I better get going so I hope to see you soon. Have a great week!"

    Two of my favorite places, JoAnn's and the hardware store. Happy to see Rita on board.

      I'm glad she arrived here in Dotsville. She was so ready to leave the Ebay scene!

      I have a Hancock Fabrics here too but can never find the right scale for my dolls. I really do love Joann Fabrics and here in Charlotte the train makes it easy to get to.

    I like the composite shots of Rita in Jo Ann's. It's one of my favorite places too!

      I can get lost in Joanne. I screamed for joy once I found out how easy it was for me to get there.

    Wow! Rita sure has a lot of goodies!I would have to drive 60 miles to get to the nearest Joann's. We have a Hancock which is ok I guess.

    Now wouldn't it be smart to have those two stores next to each other! I only have a HomeDepot nearby. I have to go a good ways to get to a fabric store. Welcome Rita! I have one of her too but she doesn't have a name yet! I love your stories!
