The Haunted Doll 😱😱 I read this recently.
When considering haunted dolls, one might envision a traditional Victorian-style porcelain figure. While such items may not be commonly found in your surroundings, it’s advisable to remain cautious around children’s toys.
Notably, a Disney’s Frozen Elsa doll, gifted during Christmas 2013 in the Houston area, attracted significant media attention earlier this year due to reports of unusual phenomena associated with it.
The doll was designed to recite phrases from the movie “Frozen” and to sing “Let It Go” when a button on its necklace was activated. According to mother Emily Madonia, “For two years, it functioned solely in English. In 2015, it began alternating between Spanish and English without a dedicated button to switch languages; the changes appeared to occur randomly.” The family has had the doll for over six years and has not replaced the batteries. Mrs. Madonia noted that the doll would occasionally begin speaking and singing even when the switch was turned off.
At that time, Elsa stopped singing the English version of “Let It Go” entirely and communicated solely in Spanish when prompted. The family then double-bagged the unusual doll and disposed of it at the bottom of their trash, which was collected on garbage day. Shortly thereafter, they went on a trip; however, upon their return, they discovered that Elsa had also reappeared, waiting in the backyard of their home.
Recently, the family sent Elsa to a family friend in Minnesota, who secured the haunted doll to the front bumper of his truck. According to Madonia’s latest Facebook update in February, it has not yet returned to Houston.
In December 2019, the family made the decision to dispose of the unsettling doll. Several weeks later, they discovered it placed inside a bench in their living room. The children insisted that they had not moved it there, and their parent trusted their account, as it seemed unlikely they would have rummaged through the trash outside.
Hmmm, spooky ot what? 🙂

Sometimes, I like to be Barbie. 🙂
I loved the film, which starred Rysn Gosling as Ken 🙂
I still have my very first Barbie. It is from the days when Mattel used to engrave the word Barbie on her bottom. 😃

I am watching “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise.
Do you know that feeling when you are running around chasing around after children and you only take in a few snippets of a film? Well, not this evening. I am actually watching this film this evening. 🙂
I’m a Mummy 😉 I’m any, black or white. I am white with a tiny bit of black in me. That is evident in my skin tone…..it has nothing to do with a suntan as I have skin colour throughout the year. I have more of an exotic colour skin tone. 🙂

Sung by the sadly missed Cilla Black.

Although FRAN is the shortened form of my name, it is also the acronym of my full name:
Frances Rose Agnes Napper.I was Christened with the name Frances, and it has never been changed. I was the first born, and I was named after my father, Francis Charles (Christian names), Frank for short.
My father passed away a few years ago. He never wrote on social media. Just me.

Here’s a memory of my daughter Lauren and I…..and our shadows;)

Wonderful! I was listening to “The Armed Man: Sanctus” by Karl Jenkins
This is a favourite. “O Fortuna” Carmina Barana by Andre Rieu.
I was listening to “Für Elise” Bagatelle by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is indeed one of my favourite pieces. I had a musical box with a ballerina who used to dance to this, when you wound it up. My lovely childhood memories. ❤️
Aww, Aled Jones on Classic fm. I can remember the young Aled Jones and the Toys ‘R’ Us advertising campaign, the recording propelled 15-year-old Aled into stardom.
Aled has been known to sing a section in falsetto on his tours, much to the delight of audience members.”
Listening to classical music can be soothing and beneficial for mental well-being. I find that my productivity significantly improves when I incorporate classical music into my work environment, i.e., doing the housework. 🙂

This is not my car, though. It is one I photographed. I love the colour. 🙂
