Priority Mail

Sam is in Canada on vacation (yeah, without me!).
The good news is, my box arrived rather promptly. I had put in my order that I wanted it fast. No point waiting around for a long time. (I want to surprise Sam when she gets home). There was one problem however, I could not lift the box by myself. I had to wait until someone bigger came by. So I sat and waited. .

Finally, I spotted two Australian Girl dolls out in the garden taking a stroll.  I recognized Emily from my camping trip, so I went over and asked for help.

Me: "Hello Emily, do you remember me?"
Emily: "Why, of course, hi Isabelle! I would like you to meet my friend Matilda."
Me: "Hello Matilda, nice to meet you."

Matilda had the most amazing, curly red hair, I have ever seen.

  Both girls listened to my dilemma and said that they would be glad to help out.

The girls were able to lift the box easily enough, but suddenly stopped.

 Matilda: "There seems to be something blocking the way."

Emily: "Oh no, it's Mr Louie, the neighborhood cat!"

Emily: "Oh Mr Louie, will you please move out of our way? This box is really heavy and we need to move it."

Mr Louie: "Don't you know that I am a cat? I do what I want, whenever I want to. I will only move if I feel like it, and right now I am rather comfortable."

 I could not believe my ears. I had to say something. "MR LOUIE! You are extremely rude!"

 I whispered something Elvish to him and his ears pricked up.

 Mr Louie thought about what I said for a moment.

 His eyes widened and then he jumped up to lend a paw.

Silly cats, all they need is a little reminder of how powerful Elves can be!

Well, time to go check the inventory!

Cheerio,

Isabelle.

Camping

As I set out on my journey, Grandpa Plastic gave me a huge map of Oak Leaf Forest. I have spent the past few days exploring the area. Seems pretty cool. 

I came across a campsite and decided to settle for the night.

I saw a group of girls laughing and having a good time. I thought I would introduce myself and join the fun.

 I felt a little nervous when I got closer as I could see that these were big dolls. I worried that I might be stepped on before they even noticed me!

MY, what big shoes they have! 

The girls were very friendly, and were quite interested in hearing about my adventures so far.

My goodness, the chairs were like giant hammocks!

We all posed for a group photo. (That's me, sitting on Emily's knee.) 

The girls told me that there are other small dolls that reside here in Oak Leaf Forest as well. I heard about a man named Mr. Crumble who is a chef and works for the Barbies. Tomorrow morning I am going to leave here and find him! It should be fun meeting someone more my size!

It was a great evening, but I was glad to get back to my own van. I have realized that I enjoy being around others, but when night falls I like to be by myself, as I have a lot to think about.

Time for bed.

Cheerio!
