PERSONAL FUN FACT: Believe it or not, one of my first brand new childhood Barbies was the blonde Pet Doctor on the far left of this photo. It's hard to believe that I've had her for most of my life. I got this doll when I was five or six years old, and I still vaguely remember the day when I picked her out. I believe I saved up my allowance money for "Christine," as I dubbed her. I was kind of obsessed with that name, or ones like it, such as "Christina." When I was very small, I was particularly drawn to doctor and animal themed dolls. It makes sense, what with the fact that I was always such an animal person--it was easier to get along with pets than people. I also liked the idea of "caring" for animals or people, which is probably how my obsession for doctor type dolls began. Anyways, Pet Doctor was a staple in our doll family. She was not only the town vet, but also the person doctor too. I used her original vet supplies, paired with my Pretty Pet Parlor, and also my Baby Care Center. Her vet ensemble also dualed as her regular doctor gear. Colleen also took a bit of a shine to Pet Doctor. I recall that we'd trade off on who played her, especially in cases where she was a background character. One of my most vivid memories of this doll is the time I took her on vacation with the family. Mom and Dad took us to New Jersey one summer to go to Six Flags and also a few other places. We were allowed to take one doll each, so I gunned for Pet Doctor, who was presumably my newest at the time. I had stolen a Barbie sized comb around that time frame from a friend's house. I recall that the entire vacation, the stolen comb burned in the back of my mind, and stayed inside my yellow backpack with Pet Doctor for the duration of the trip. I ended up confessing to my crime when we got home, to ease the guilt of my conscience. Even though Pet Doctor had little to do with this petty larceny, I still think of it each time I look at her. As time wore on, Christine did not keep her good looks. She lost a ton of hair back in the day, as I was the sort to compulsively brush my dolls' hair. So she was half bald by the time I was seven or eight. She also lost much of her stuff along the way, and her original outfit became very shabby and grossly stained. But as an adult collector, I was able to remedy these problems. I found her a much better ensemble, and I partially rerooted all her empty hair plugs to restore her luscious tresses!
Since Christine was so shabby even when I was young, it was only natural that I'd jump at the chance to get a second. I found the doll in the middle sometime in the early 2000s. She was at the local flea market, and was still wearing her original outfit. For some reason, my memory was muddled over the years, and I thought I got her stuffed back inside her original box with some accessories. But it turns out that couldn't be the case. I must have purchased her loosely by herself. We dubbed this doll "Jessica," and luckily she maintained her beauty and condition over the years. By the time she joined the family, both Colleen and I were much better at caring for our dolls. She "replaced" Christine in some ways, but we saw them as separate people. Although I was the one who bought this doll, I'd say that Colleen played with her far more. She was enchanted by Jessica's obvious beauty. Unlike Christine, she has a stunningly perfect face (Christine is actually rather wonky). I'm not sure exactly what role Jessica always played, but sometimes she replaced Becky as the "wheelchair ridden" doll. Colleen was obsessed with Becky's wheels, so they were always in use no doubt. However, as adult collectors, it came out that Jessica was actually Becky's girlfriend who in fact was not in a wheelchair. It was a scenario that Colleen must have had brewing in her head for years, but it didn't have the chance to materialize until we were older. It all made sense to me though, when I reflect on my childhood. Whenever Jessica was Becky's "friend," she always had better chemistry with her than any of Becky's male suitors!
Since Jessica had maintained her glory even decades later, we didn't really "need" another doppelganger. But of course, I'm not want to cast out any doll in need. I got this third lady, on the far right, in 2016. She was actually a gift of sorts. That summer, our friend Lisa said we could have what remained of her childhood dolls. We spent a little while scrounging through the basement and the attic space above her garage, on the quest for dolls. It seemed as though the dolls themselves all went missing. We were only able to find a baggy with clothing and accessories. I admit I was devastated that the dolls themselves went rogue. I played with so many of them as a little girl, when I was over Lisa's house. However, in the attic space above the garage, we found Pet Doctor Barbie all by herself. She still looked pristine, as if she'd never been played with. I'm very fond of this doll since she was a generous gift, and the lone survivor of her former doll clan. Colleen and I both thought it would be fitting to name her "Lisa" after our friend!
BOX DATE: 2009
MANUFACTURER: Mattel
VARIATIONS: Purple; pink; blue
MISSING ITEMS: Crown, shoes, purse
PERSONAL FUN FACT: This was another outfit from the "Liv Clothing lot" of 2016. Just like the 2009 Fashionistas Sassy outfit I got from the same bin, this doll was also present, and had it not been for a nasty haircut, she would be wearing this right now. It is really a shame that the previous owner of the lot had a fancy for chopping up doll hair and doll clothes. This skirt is pretty, and so was the Barbie that belonged in it (I was very sad when I had to remove her head from her body). One day, I hope to reunite this simple skirt with the doll that was sold in it. But until then, this adorable glittery skirt will find use.
LAST SEEN AT THE L.A. AIRPORT!!!
Molly the sockmonster is missing. This time she is really missing and needs the help of everyone on flickr if she is ever to return home and even then it may not be enough.
Molly left Maine just before father's day to meet up with my dad and his friend Pat and go to Pat's time share in Mexico. They had a wonderful time and my dad even bought Molly a sombrero and a Mexican skirt. After a week they headed back to California. Molly had been traveling in my dad's fanny pack to stay safe but my dad wanted one more photo op and then put Molly in a bag with his camera and cell phone. After passing through customs they went to the baggage claim area. When their bags came up on two different carousels the bag with Molly got left behind. They didn't realize their mistake till they had passed through the security gate. By then it was too late and they weren't able to go back to look for Molly. The airport said they sent someone to look for her but couldn't find her.
Before Molly left on her ourney i had written on the back of her I.D. tag : if found return to.......... REWARD!!
We have been hoping that the person that found her would send her home. The last time she was seen was June 30th.
My dad called his cell phone and asked that whoever found her to please return Molly and the memory card from the camera. They could keep the phone and camera........... Sigh, no reply.
If everyone that reads this could send it to all of their flickr contacts and ask them to do the same....... maybe someone out there will have seen Molly and could help with her safe return. I hate to think that her adventures are over. All we can do is try........Thanks Holly

Clearing one's mind as the sun sets and the day comes to an end.
But something is missing. You are missing.
I hope, that one day, I will have a chance to be able to ask you to join me to watch this magnificent view.

I'd been checking in on the ducklings at this particular pond from time to time, but the last time I had checked all the ducklings (about a dozen plus) were missing (found one dead).
These eggs were surrounded by domestic muskovies that day, laid among the "knees" of a towering bald cypress tree. Sadly, the next time I visited this site, I discovered two eggs missing and one destroyed. A young couple I spoke with reported that they had witnessed a man "gathering", i.e. stealing, a number of eggs there one day (supposedly for "his" pond).
Of the more than 30 ducklings hatched here this past season, only 1 or 2 remain. UPDATE: None remaining.

Looking downtown, through Chelsea. Three exposure HDRI. This was during a day of rain showers. Two towers are missing in the distance in the photo, but not from our hearts.
Bastion D. This corner was destroyed when a fire begun in warehouse areas, reached a black powder magazine containing 8,000 pounds of powder.
The explosion on June 20, 1899 showered debris 1.5 miles, reaching Fort Barrancas.

I'm hoping this isn't too gruesome...I planned to enhance with some ketchup...but ran out of time!
HMM
Bonkers in the kitchen late this morning, demanding another snack. He had to wait for us to complete a grocery run first...
These are my Dad's; his Navigator's brevet, his RAF pin and his flying log book.
You can probably just make out the word "missing" which has been scratched out at the bottom of the page. My dad was a lucky one. On the night of this raid which resulted in the loss of all crew aboard his Halifax bomber, he had been taken into hospital with pneumonia. A replacement navigator perished in his place.
Before every raid my dad would be violently sick - yet like so many others he kept going behind enemy lines, night after night, knowing that he only had a 30% chance of returning. Such were the pressures that, during a briefing, if it was announced that the slower Wellington bombers would be part of the raid, a cheer would go round the squadron briefing room.
For my German friends, this was a war against an ideology, not necessarily a people. My dad enjoyed his post-war visits to Germany when I lived there, and was made most welcome by our German friends, despite their knowing what his wartime role had been.
I only know the details of the pilot who perished that night. They are below.

Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away

You won't cry
for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago...
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
