Lady Bug, Lady Bug...

In the adoption community, the lady bug is a symbol of good luck and some people swear that they see lady bugs just before they get their referrals. So...lady bugs hold a dear superstitious spot for all of us.

My mom is a huge collector or things...and with so many children (7), she gets a lot of the things that she is collecting at that particular time. Mom gave me the Mei Mei doll that is the sister of Chan (she found her certificate and her name is Mei Mei). Well tonight I asked if I could have one of her other porcelain dolls...I've seen it before and never thought anything about it, but tonight this doll struck something in me.

Mom received this doll from a friend so I was hesitant to take it home, but she wanted me to have it...this is an Anne Geddes doll and it's a sleeping child in a Lady Bug costume...take a look, the head and hands are porcelain and the body is beans (I have to play with my camera...these look a little fuzzy):





Michael and I went to to my mom and dads to try and get that Lobsta that we missed two weeks ago...IT WAS AWESOME!! The restaurant is closing for the season so we made it just in time. I got the 2 lb. King Backed Stuffed Lobsta...I wish I had a camera to take a picture...it was so pretty! And it was only $41!!! That's wicked cheap!! Michael got the prime rib that was HUGE and needless to say, dad has a lot of leftover meat and lobsta to snack on this week.
