FOUND!!!

reason 1,105,035 why he's a keeper... Aaron just found my beloved MONCHHICHI MONKEY!!! last time i saw her she was living in a toybox in my house in England and somehow he just found her HERE in our attic!!!

if i wasn't suffering from a cold that is making me terribly dizzy, i would climb on the roof and yell loud enough for the man in the moon to hear "i love this man!!!"

anyway her nose is rubbed off from being kissed repeatedly, she has lost some of her beans, and she is in need of a little bath... but it is unmistakably her! made in japan in 1974, loved by me for soooo many years :)

now i can call off my fruitless amazon.com search for 'replacement girl monchhichi monkey' because she's back!
