  3. Gaaaaah! THEEEEE Marguerite Henry??? Misty, Sea Star, Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West... .. . . .???

  6. I make the very same mental note to myself regarding my MIL when she comes to town . . .. . ......and her reason for not hearing isn't one of inconvenience, it is one of a hearing aid that is constantly being turned off.

Suddenly his brow furrowed and he asked, "Why is the fast-moving third hand on a watch called a second hand...
  12. This list is heeelarryus, Jyanutt, in such a bittersweet way. Your mom, I now know, was a wonderful, interesting woman. Boy, she was ready for anything! Don't know when someone is gonna come and visit who just needs to erase all of the answers in crossword books and do them again, or when one may need to know if August 23, 1982, was a Wednesday or not...
  13. Jyah-gnutt! Great that you are back, and after a productive, not-completely-heart-wrenching trip.

  17. Dear gawd, you has me larphin', Amanda. .. . ......I can just see you in your li'l spectacular Dorothy dress, crashing southward . .. ... Waitasec! This is MY fashion disaster shortlist, from the eighties. . ......everything you've listed, I was sporting full-force as a teen.....but you were a little kid in the eighties, n'est-ce pas, Amanda...
  18. I want these things in MY country! I wanna batch o' colossal, ancient, royal buildings brimming with centuries of history, and I want a yummy, store-bought gluten-free pastry. . . ..... . ..methinks in the same afternoon, at that! We got nuttin' here. .. . . .. . ......we're SO young, niave. ...... . .no exciting ancient architecture and no phab...

When dad was hallucinating, I believe he was likely seeing these characters walking in and out from his curtained alcove, so the costumes haven't been necessary... .. .. These are lovely! And they don't hurt your bunions/deformities/plantar fasciitis/hammer toes/whatever...
  23. Gooooood Sunday mornin', Psills! Wedding shower this afternoon, an hour's drive away.... . . ..my second-youngest nephew's marriage is in August, and I've no dress, NOR SHOES, Jyessss.
