Graduation!

 Hey Gang!

Nola and Debesai have complete their MBA the Fox School of Business this summer!  

Nola has worked hard to get her degree and has a new job working for the city of Johnston as the Community Business Developer!

Debesai went for his degree after realizing that running a church is a business and he needed the background to keep of the the programs solvent. 
They met at school and became fast friends and study partners share the same classes!  
Nola is also a friend of the family and she spends a lot of time with Amenia, Debesai wife.  
Amenia is trying to play matchmaker for Nola. I know a few nice guys for her!

This is her photo for the yearbook!

Black History Month Showcase!

Hey Gang!

The all grades are preforming thing the Black History Showcase! 
In this performance Robin and Lark are dancing an African dance.
Luan is accompanying them on the drum! When Lark and Robin found out he played drums in his homeland, they asked him to do it. 
Luan said yes. He missed playing with the elders in his village! He thinks about them as he plays.
They practiced together five times and Luan even suggested some moves.
The performance went well.

OK, Thanks for Looking!

A Busy Fall. Help Needed!

 Hey Gang!

It is a busy fall in Johnston! Harold has mostly worked solo. Apenimon and Ahiga have been able to help him out occasionally. 

After being injured in the spring and not able to work for months, he realized help on occasionally wasn't working! 

Harold fractured his ankle working alone and you would think he would be sad being out of work but that is not his nature.

He needs fulltime help. He calls a good friend who needs a new start! Harold waited at the train station for Cal and his kids to arrive.

Harold: Cal! Hey Man! It is good to see you! You have never been far from my thoughts.
Cal: it is good to see you too!

Harold: Look at this little sweetie! Is that a crown? Are you a princess? You are going to be a heart breaker!
Rita giggles.

Cal Jr. joins the group to greet Harold

Harold: Hey! Little Man...I guess I should say big guy! WOW, you have grown in the past two years!
Cal Jr. : Hello Mr. Hill! We haven't seen you in  few years.  I have gotten taller since then.

Cal Jr. shakes his hand.
The kids are a bit drained after such a long trip!
I've got a place for you guys to stay. It is small but cheap and clean. I know the Principal of the school and she is just waiting on a call for you and the school records for Cal Jr. to start. I've talked to my friend at the daycare and there is a spot open for Rita! The kids will need a Doctor's visit too. I've got you on the insurance plan so don't worry about that.
Let's get your luggage and put it in the van.

Cal: Hey, thanks so much for doing all of this.  I feel like I've got so much to do!

Harold: No problem!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

On Sale at Walmart... Maybe!

 Hey Gang!

I have wanted Fashionista Ken Broad #183 in the multi-colored camo print shirt, neon green shorts, and silvery sneakers for a while!  When I looked him up to order him online, he was temporarily on sale at Walmart.com! From what I am gathering, this is an item that goes on and off sale kinda thing! When I went to my local Walmart, he was just $4.00!  So if you want him, keep checking both locations!


I also purchased this outfit that would complement his original outfit!
Close-up!
Out of the package!
Sadly, unlike the girls, Mattel doesn't make the clothes so that they will fit all sizes!
I purchased him as Dexter's father who will move to Johnston to try to reunite with his family!
I will had to do some alteration to him to make him similar but different to his son. I will really need to work on a wardrobe for him.

BTS Dolls! Some of the Last Purchases for 2020

Hey Gang!

Yes, I have purchased the BTS Dolls.  I got a few at Five Below but I got most of them at Ross for $3.99!  So the Bang Tang boys are in the house. 

I must say I love the faces and  articulation!
It took me a little longer to be OK with the hair colors and outfits but that is coming!
The great articulation is a plus for any doll and you have it with these!
They are wearing the outfits from their Idol tour.  There is another set with different 
outfits too. I did like the outfits and the hands on the other set and they are all 
sold together.

Now I could review them but there is no need to reinvent the wheel! I saw this video 
and did a pretty good review of the dolls!  My Froggy Stuff does a good review also.


I am currently restyling/redressing the and adding them to Johnston!  You have met a few
of my dolls that have been given a role in Johnston but I will be adding more.

and Jung going to the library!

More On The Tsai's

Hey Gang!

Three Tsai brothers have moved to Johnston after prodding from their cousin
Connie.

Connie: You guy have to be tire of moving all around!  We need to stick together! 
Besides who other than family is going to sit for our rambunctious kids!

The Tsai family is originally from San Francisco.  Their family originally
came to the United States to build the railroads. Yes, they are Chinese but
they are Americans too!

One branch of the Tsai family moved to Oregon to farm.  The boys are from
that side...Blaine, Blake, Blair and little brother Blaidyn. They lived on an
fruit orchard.Their father grew the fruit and their mother was an artist.
They grown up spending a lot of  time outdoors. They like martial arts and
loved to fight as boys.  Anything was a weapon to them. They still fight as
adults! It is a little different! It is mostly verbal unless they are in the dojo!

Hae is married to Blake Tsai!  They are both teachers. They met while teaching at
the same high school.  He had been teaching longer than she did.  Blake offer to help
her get things organized and show her the ropes.
Blaine and Blair: Yeah, helping the new teacher!
Blair: That's so lame

Blaine and Blair
Blake: OK, You guys want some of this! I didn't think so! Don't make me take my tie
off!
Blake has been named teacher of the year... and met the Present! Hae was a
runner up.
They have moved to Johnston with their daughter.
Hae: Your brothers are just teasing!
Blaine and Blair: Like we would be afraid of him taking his tie off!

Blake and Hae have a daughter Meadow.
Blake and Hae have been taking care of their niece Willow for his brother Blaine 
while he was on a long term teaching job overseas.


His wife died two years ago.  He has moved here for a position as an Art professor.

You have also met Kieu...

but you know her husband, Blair and the other brothers.

Connie introduced them...well kinda.
Connie: I invited her to a party I was giving.  I had invited Blaine and Blake. Let me tell 
you it was really hard to get Blaine to even come!  I really thought that Blake or Blaine 
would have been more her type than the care free Blair. Who knew? I didn't even invite
Blair! He just showed up! The next thing I knew she was moving in with him! Moving In!
Conservative Kieu was moving in before being married! Six months later they were down
the aisle.

Blair: I knew what I wanted her when I saw her! It was seeing her in traditional dress that
did it for him.
And she speaks five languages including Chinese. Blaine and Blake spoke Chinese
better being older. He has since gotten better.

Blaine and Blake: You fell at her feet begging! You followed her around the whole
party!
Ha, ha, ha! She made you get a real job too! No surfing all day!

Blair: What ever!
Blair is a father of three. He and Kieu have a son Blaisden, continuing the the BL names,
his mother calls him Rin, a daughter Mio.
Rin and Mio
 The Tsai men love their hair! It is a part of their mother's culture. 
She was Japanese.
and a daughter Cheri.

Blair has just opened a sporting goods store in Johnston. His love of sports
combined with his love of the outdoors while in college.  He got his degrees
in Phys-ed at West Chester University. The setting and the school let him know
that small town living was the life he wanted!

Youngest brother Blaise is still in college back in Oregon! He hasn't made a visit but
they are expecting him for Easter break!
