Flashback Friday

Meet Patience Gina. She was born at Baby Land General Hospital in Cleveland GA. Her "father" was Xavier Roberts. She was adopted by Tim's mom in March of 1984 when she and Art made a special trip to the hospital for this very reason. She is a real Cabbage Patch Kid from the real creator. There are papers to go along with her.



Of course we could not put her in the yard sale. But we really don't know what to do with her. She certainly is no trouble at all, so I'm sure we'll keep her and let her be.

Has it really been that long since the Cabbage Patch craze? The Newsweek magazine included with her papers is dated December 1983. Seems like only yesterday.

I had saved all of Missy's Cabbage dolls but put them in a garage sale last yr. after she told me she did not want them. One of the babies was named Xavier...wonder if he was related to Patience?
