16th. Stop            June 4 , 2004          Maryville, MO

Dolly heads northeast a bit to visit with "tinymeanie" in Maryville, MO...

 

The box is open and the trumpeter is ready to welcome Dolly to Missouri.... he waits and waits and waits ....
  Dolly pops her head out of the box, waving a Texan flag and yelling, "I'm scared of tornados, send me back to Gran in Texas waaaahhhhh!"
  The welcome committee assures Dolly she is safe in Missouri, Hefty Googly tells her he will protect her
  To help calm Dolly down, the matador shows off his bullfighting skills. Hefty Googly and Doggie flank Dolly
  Some dancers entertain Dolly, Missouri is, after all, the "show me state."
  After the entertainment numbers, a smiling Dolly honors these newlyweds with a group picture. Dolly remembers it's the "marry" month of June.
  Feeling safe by now, Dolly jumps into Barbie's convertible and goes driving around
  She finds Froggy and convinces him to open his mouth wide so she can have her picture taken between his lips
  Dolly sunbathes with Doggie
  A tanned Dolly goes horseback riding with Herself The Elf, Doggie leads the way
  Dolly wants to have more fun so she goes bicycling, Doggie follows her around.
  She also tries to climb a garden stake.
  Tired but happy, Dolly relaxes with her new friends.
  The day before she left to visit Cookinsupper in Texas, Dolly stole the hears of two local baseball players.
  On her last night in Missouri, Dolly thought it would be neat to learn a foreign
language or two. She sat down with some Japanese and Chinese toddlers hoping they can teach her their native language. But the
Orientals have not gone past baby talk yet so now Dolly thinks "a e i ou" and "oh ah" are Mandarin and Japanese words.
