eHow Dolly Tour 2009/2010
eHow Dolly was created by Veryire in Hawaii. Members from our online writers community hosted Dolly as a way to get to know each other better. Dolly visited Maine, NY, PA, NJ, MD, DC, VA, NC, FL, AL, KY, MI, WI and MN. Next she visits MO, TX, NV and eHow headquarters in CA before heading home to Hawaii.
 I arrived at Miss Kitty's house and couldn't wait to show off the treasures in my luggage. |
 Sharon sent a nice eHow shirt for kittycooks. Thanks Sharon! |
 Erin told me all about her flat stanley. She thinks I'm much more huggable! |
 Lucy played hopscotch with me. I'm a pretty good jumper in my super cool sneakers! |
 Hello Nina! Pleased to meet you! |
 There are even dinosaurs at Miss Kitty's house. The girls told me they like to get tattoos with chalk. |
 I helped Erin at puzzle time by holding her picture card. |
 Kittycooks kids have lots ot do each day. |
 It's journal time. We wrote about our day and something nice we did for someone. |
 There sure are a lot of toys to meet.  I got to meet the trolls. They have jewels in their bellies! |
 Here I am meeting the chickens. I have a black silkie on my arm! |
 We get to feed them grass anytime we want. |
 Every morning the girls do range of motion stretches. |
 And a one and a two.... |
 Whee! Erin thinks I should help everyday. |
 I even got a turn on the therapy ball. |
 That was quite a workout. I needed to take a rest with Mr. Marbles in the therapy swing. |
 I met Shadow the cat. She is kinda old and just lays around. |
 We went to the girls school to meet someone special.... |
 Charlie Brown! Mr. Charles Shultz was born in Minneapolis. There are statues of his comics all around town. |
 I had fun reading all about Charlie Brown and his friends. |
 We listened to some cool music by Garrison Keilor. Miss Kitty loves the Prairie Home Companion Show. |
 I learned post-its were invented here at the 3M company. Miss Kitty met the inventor when her son was in science fairs. |
 Lucy and I made a puzzle and talked about my travels. She studied the states in 4th grade this year. She really liked the LOVE statue in my luggage because her Flat Stanley Went to New Jersey. The black chess pieces are all the places I've been and the white ones are where I'm headed next. |
 We decided to go fishing. Look at this cool Snoopy tackle box. |
 You should have seen the huge fish we caught. It was as big as a shark! (um, you know, those Bala Sharks at the aquarium store) Tee hee. The yellow and white waterlillies were beautiful. |
 When we came home I saw a Komodo Dragon! |
 Then I discovered it was pretty nice. I got to go for a ride. |
 I got to meet some movie stars! Funny thing thought, every time Miss Kitty came in the room they just stopped talking. |
 Dolly's Dolly Parton had fun meeting the littlest pet shop pals. |
 Bert even let me look at his paper clip collection. The care bears made us feel good and the looney toons kept us entertained. |
 There sure are a lot of famous people here. The raisin was really rocking! |
 The genie let me make a wish. I wished I could stay longer at Miss Kitty's house. |
 There sure are a lot of geese around here. |
 I went to the Mall Of America. Three floors of people and stores. |
 Wowza! |
 I liked the Lego store the best. |
 |
 I met some very handsome lego characters. |
 |
 Next we rode the train downtown. |
 I saw the crystal court in the IDS building. |
 The IDS tower is the tallest building in MN (792 feet) |
 There was a fountain pouring five stories down from the crystal court. |
 I met Mary Tyler Moore. |
 Minneapolis! Come on up and see us sometime! |
 I got to ride a horse at one of the 'dale' malls build by the Datyons. I was practicing for my visit to Dallas, Texas! |
 Next we went to the library. |
 I felt right at home going up the steps. (I'm from Hawaii you know) |
 There was some really fun science displays. |
 I get to stay with Chriss J. the librarian next week. Can't wait to meet her puppies. |
 Hmmm, this looks pretty good! Miss Kitty goes to bed pretty early. |
 The Barbies thew me a party my last night here. They raided Miss Kitty's recycle bin and found some drinks. I tell ya, it doesn't take much to get a Barbie Drunk! They are nice enough, but they sure are into their hair. |
 Jesse Ventura showed up. He found Miss Kitty's secret stash of dark chocolate covered peanuts! |
