Where oh where is Jacques Cousteau?

November 2, 2006

The girls were quite upset that Jacques did not arrive in time for Halloween. Hitty Lisa consoled herself by an afternoon shopping trip!

A tabletop radio and a handmade gemstone tree were purchased.

Seeing as I still needed some money to purchase Halloween treats, I had to tell Lisa a firm "No more purchases today." As you might as well guess, Hittys do not take particularly well to being told "No". Lisa and I returned home.

After putting away our purchases, I could not find Lisa. I looked in the Creekside Cabinet House and there she was, sitting on her bed, cuddling her dolly, pouting.

"It's just not fair. No more shopping, no Jacques Cousteau." "It is very difficult being a person of the pegged variety!"

Giving Lisa a big hug, I explained that Jacques will be here very soon. Perhaps he had taken a side trip, or had a call to an important expedition. Satisfied with the explanation, Hitty Lisa decided she was going to sit on her bed, cuddle her dolly and wait for Jacques to arrive.
