My mother bought me three of the Sound of Music dolls back in the 60s. I had Maria, Gretel and Friedrich. All of them became spies and lived very hard and dangerous lives. Many were the times that they had to leap out of a two story house to safety. I wish I had those dolls now. They were so beautiful and heaven knows how much my mother spent on those dolls. I was a wretched and unthankful girl.

LOL - I love that!

We were Navy brats and lived all over the place. We only saw our grandparents occasionally. Our dear grandmother frequently got my sister and me Barbie things for birthdays and Christmases. We had Barbies, Kens, Skipper, Midge…and the Barbie Dream House and Dream Car.

My sister and I sometimes used items from the Clue game to set up elaborate murder scenes in Barbie’s Dream House. We also sometimes sent the Dream Car hurtling down a hallway to crash into something, ejecting Barbie and Ken.

Sounds like you might have fit in with us. 😄
