- To the world in general
- Is there a common sense app we can put on that phone?
- This is what getting older is about
- You move back on the stage and do a lot of work in support roles
- This is precisely why this time of your life is when you have to be the main person being good to yourself
- Like this?
- It's how I am explaining that big orange bag and the bronze clutch I bought at the outlets
- Good policy
- You know in the chorus you can wear what ever shoes you want

- Smiley baby, really nice mother
- I could be a professional baby walker
- Love those strollers
- We have one more week here
- You will never guess
- My husband went out and bought an RV to leave here and come back to

Yes, to precisely why we must be good to ourselves. I find my supporting role grows larger daily (as in the number of people who depend on me for some type of support) and it seems I have no one to count on but myself. It's nice to be needed, but...
Can't wait to see what matches that orange purse!
Had to reread this post as I am not a "morning" person. Thought you were going to have to drive the RV back and forth. Having just driven 1200 miles in two days from Key West to home, I found that thought mind-blowing. Driving on I95 is crazy enough. Babies are why the world was created. And that's why we drove such a long way. Totally worth it. How's the new doggie?
You are so hilarious, Barbara! And insightful too. Yes, why DO they have tanning beds in Florida? Or anywhere?! But then I don't tan much even in the real sunshine and I prefer my usual pasty colour anyhow.
Orange pants. Make orange pants.
Yes, you are a genius! Recognized by other geniuses!
In summer I choose wild and wacky prints for bottoms and plains for tops. Also, I choose bright colours I would never wear anytime but summer. This is where the big orange bag comes in as fashion arbiter.
As for fabric making us smile, I just saw a wonderful jacket at Fabricland made by one of the staff out of "Angry Birds" home dec fabric. Masterful use of the print. Very smile inducing.
Tanning salons in Florida – that's to even out the tan and get those naughty bits with the programme. Or possibly to make sure EVERYTHING is evenly wrinkled.

Honestly why DO you have tanning beds in FL??? I know why we have them here in Portland. It's so we can go to some other place and not get burnt to a crisp!
A purple dress will set of the orange bag very well.
Ear scritches for Daisy!
