My father especially loved the show as he was more musically inclined than my mother. I had Lennon Sisters paper dolls, and I played with them for hours. I could never decide on my favorite Lennon Sister, a question I often pondered. What fun to see them again and hear about the doll business. I still have two of my grown-up dolls from my childhood--Rose and Lucille. Way before Barbies! I dearly loved those dolls. The crocheted rag doll a family friend made me as a young child finally wore out. The cuddly critter I carried everywhere, even to college, with me was a foam stuffed dog, named Poochie. My father gave all three of us one for Christmas one year. I think they may have been Basset Hounds that served as promo for Bassett Furniture--my dad and uncles owned a furniture store. The Lennon Sisters do evoke many memories indeed!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666609213171939599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-6885177843798409742012-06-16T22:10:03.306-04:002012-06-16T22:10:03.306-04:00It looks as though those of us of 'a certain a...It looks as though those of us of 'a certain age' grew up with Lawrence Welk and crew as Saturday night entertainment.

He was happy to discover Lawrence Welk! He insisted we all watch it together every Sunday.. and he and mom would dance and then dance with us. So we had TV and our family life then ;>)Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.com
