Congrats on recovering your umbrella. It does seem like the things they make nowadays just don't last like they used to.

i will count on that ! in fact, i rarely have margaritas ; only when we go to this particular restaurant. but i love them ! so delicious. i would drink them more often, if i knew how to make them or if more of the cafés i frequent offered them. actually, when i went to visit my cousins in canada, one night in edmonton we went out to a mexican restaurant and had margaritas. my cousin got a little bit drunk, i think, and she was so funny ! we spent the whole evening laughing and telling really silly jokes. the two phenomena were only superficially related.

and yes, this umbella will kick the a$$ of any recent umbrella you can propose (including all the ones i have).

When my two older kids were around Ryleigh's age (8), we lived in the same town as my parents. At least twice a month, my parents would take us out to dinner to a mexican restaurant and my mother and I would order their jumbo-sized margaritas (you know us Americans, we always have to have things oversized ). By the time the dinner was over, we were laughing over the silliest things. Now Shannon and I have started to do the same thing! Getting a shnookered over margaritas, the new family tradition!!

well, if you ask me, there are worse family traditions than having a few margaritas and spending the evening laughing together !

Ain't that the truth. We could be sitting around discussing the correct term to use for an electronic reading device.

ahem. (stop) just for the record, if any of the persons present at this incident were flirting, it was the four guys, not the spry young maiden.

you're right that it comes in handy for fending off precipitating bovines and hail, as well as occcasionally bludgeoning (well-deserving) shums though. why do you think i'm so thrilled to have it back ?
