We used to discuss numbering and cataloging all of Mom's dolls for insurance purposes or resale down the road, while her mind was still clear, and never got around to it. There's always time later. We didn't anticipate this, though. For those that don't know, Mom has Alzheimer's and now resides in the memory care unit of an assisted living facility. She did wonderfully at home for the last few years, here with me, but broke her hip this summer and declined rapidly after that.
