Good for you.

I like the colour scheme. Do you make shoulder ties, or not?

It seems to have a lot of possibilities: skirts etc.

Cheers.

The colours on that are mad, BombShel! (I mean that totally in a most excellent way). Love it, though it would clash with my eyes.

Today I went out with The Loved One looking at kitchen appliances and came home with a new camera. So now I'm charging a battery and reading a manual (obviously not right now, but sort-of around this rough period of time).

Cheers,
Marc

just finished reading. the author needs an editor or at least run through the book one more time before sending it out. it was a nice mystery, but really, "infor-mation"? i had to do a double take :P i'm grateful the book was only $0.99, probably because it was their first work, but it has promise. they just need to clean it up

Umm, yes. But the Loved One gets to turn his brand choice of ovens, cooktop and rangehood up a notch.

Great that you had a good time.

Well, that exhaustion; must be all the women?

I feel the same when I have my outing with the museum-society, where most of the folks are female. I would like some more men there.

(goodlooking of course

)

It looks like it is already summer. Wonderful Shel. You will look very pretty this summer.

I ended up going for a halter top scheme...sewed the two ties one on each side of the front, but they'll tie around my neck.

It'll be another few weeks before it's warm enough to wear it, but I could NOT resist that material. It was on a bolt that had already been cut and was behind the counter, and so I asked about it. I'm lucky there was enough still on the bolt. I want to get some more, everyone who has seen it loves it, my daughter wants one, her best friend wants one, a couple of people on Facebook want one...

I'm pretty much of a hermit myself. We should form a Hermit's Club. But who would come?

Amen to that. When I come home, Norton's all over me, jumping up and signaling his delight, following my every footstep. Christian just walks to the kitchen and begins meowing for food.
