Sunday afternoon I drove to pick up my 8+ year old granddaughter to come and spend the summer at Grandma’s house. It was a long drive and we were almost home. I had just photographed some patio furniture left on the curb for pick up and in the next block I saw a big dollhouse.And I mean big!
I parked and went to the door and knocked. Is this for the garbage? Yes, you can have it. Oh my, Well we hauled it across the street and it was sooo big (which I didn’t realize before we carried it, that it would not fit into the back of my Subarau Outback which can hold a twin mattress!
So we put it back on the curb, disappointed for sure. I told Steve, after we unloaded the car with suitcases, that we saw the most amazing dollhouse but we couldn’t get it in the car.
Then he disappeared.
In about a half hour he returned with the dollhouse, He dragged it on a big cardboard until a lovely neighbor saw him struggling and assisted with a wheeled scooter.
And what a doll house it is A luxury mansion. Two hours of dusting cleaning cleaning cleaning and my finding some furniture and Laura’s dolls from her childhood and we have a terrific play place for the summer.
I brought out the little rug playmat for cars so she can sit on the porch without touching the chilly tile floor.
