Moxie joined her cousins today in the sacred act of receiving Tucker family hand-me-downs. Clothes, toys, and who knows else what went from me to Sam to Ryan to Helen to Hannah to Ruby and now to Moxie. The first of the treasures is a xylophone and the second a house with a family of armless residents.
I remember these toys. I remember the way the door clicks and the doorbell rings. How the people look nothing like the little sticker family portrait. Sure, Mama No Arms got a facelift and Dad No Arms left his family for his hot twenty something secretary–but the family still runs their household.

Pat, (aunt pat) gave this cool toy to helen. She loved it, then gave it to(ruby?)/ the mark tucker family.I remember Ruby liking the slide-action. So great to see it used again. I'm sure it would still help me learn today from the pics, like; its ok to smile when you are lying down.
