Well, there is hope, because nothing of our's is good enough for Miss Ashley. I'm hoping she'll get something "better" and give it back to my mom. And my mom is under strict orders that I get it!

I actually think it never entered her mind that I wanted it...like it never entered my mind that I had to ask for it! So when I threw such a fit, she was quite taken aback. But that was when she was still enamored with the barbie doll Laura Ashley (a daughter from one's dreams, you know). It wasn't until much later that Miss Ashley made it quite clear that we were all beneath her...including my mother.

Well, the only thing in my mother's house that I would like is the watch.

Grama gave me her piano when I was a child. When I tried to take it from my mom's house she said no. She said it was hers. Grama said she gave it to me. To no avail. But, it has now gone to my youngest brother's house. It is destroyed by their kids. That aggrevates me every time I go there and see it. But, it's gone. The watch is all that remains and I have given up on that. It will not come to me.
