davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

[davidd]

The girls do look cozy on the day bed.  But a pillow fight with swords would be messy...

Does it count if you googled?

I do at least know of the show because Mom & Dad mentioned it.  Also I had to kind of chuckle at the plastic foliage because I have some of that from Mom & Dad's era as well.

Yes, y'all signed up for a whole year!  No quitting.
 
I usually visit every day but I guess I forgot last night what with a ton of life stuff going on.

Pillow fight + swords sounds... like something I need to keep in mind!

Nope, doesn't count. 

I am not as old as your Dad ... who, I understand, if his "author bio" online is accurate, was a WWII veteran. I don't know if the show was broadcast in Canada. And I do now own a copy of The Heroine of Long Point, so thank you for providing a link a while back.

I stole the plastic foliage off graves. Well, not exactly. I fished the plastic foliage out of a dumpster after Memorial Day a couple of years ago after somebody else had cleaned off graves at a local cemetery.

Life stuff, I know; it pretty much sucks most of the time.

Wasn't the very interesting thing from Laugh In? I may have been a bit thrown because the solider reminded me a little of Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes, but then he would have been saying 'I know nothing! Nootthhing!'

Yes, from Laugh In, well done, young man! Very similar to Sgt. Schultz and his "I know nothing! Nootthhinnng!" Ah, yes, those kinder, gentler times of not so very many years ago (or maybe it was many years ago) when audiences were willing to laugh at silly German soldiers.

There were actually some action figures available from Sideshow Collectibles a few years ago of Sgt Schultz, Colonel Klink, and Colonel Hogan. They turn up on eBay from time to time, but of course, like everything else (except for things I'm trying to sell), the prices have been increasing significantly lately.
