Cleopatra...


...won the Best Costume award!

And, it must have been a busy day for her because she was exhausted when she got home.

Did more leaf re-arrangement this morning and got the impatience and begonias inside. While the temps may dip to freezing at night, the days are forecast to be comfortable enough to work outside.

I'm sure Lily and Carl can tell you what it's like when we don't take care of this in the fall. I think they both spent the entire day before Uncle Shorty's Memorial Gathering raking leaves at da Red House so the Bon Fire wouldn't present a danger.

Yesterday afternoon we both went to the dentist. I got there first and was taken into the x-ray room.

Kevin came in shortly after I did and the hygienist asked if he were my son...

*leaves to ponder*

Don't feel bad about them asking if Kevin was your son. They have asked Sally the same thing about Danny. I think some people see gray/white hair and assume that you're old. You know how the saying goes when you ASS-U-ME.
Peace, Lisa

I also love the costume. Can I borrow the head dress for next year?
People assume that women color their hair ... and they are usually correct. Congrats on breaking the mold.

I agree with Lisa. I love my white hair, and yours, dp. And Dennis is right as well.
Did Marie choose the costume? It's great!

...thanks, all!

I'm afraid, however, my looking more like Kevin's mother than his wife is as much a function of having lost at least 40% of my hair, my face being bloated from the steroids, my cheeks being rosy from high blood pressure, and being 45 lbs. overweight *heavy heavy sighs*

Much dissonance and confusion in my brain right now...


Regards and empathy to your Mom and Danny, Lisa. Nice to know you're reading here. How far are you from the fires??

*leaves to manage more leaves*

A drunk guy at the Flying Weenie thought my Mom was my wife. And I'm ostensibly in good health.

Not trying to one up you here.

As long as we're all sharing, a few years ago when we were in New York visiting Pat and Kerry the store clerk addressed me as Liam's grandmother. And I do color my hair. :)

It's very quiet here in blogland. Is everyone supporting the Hollywood writers strike?
On Monday night I had to drive thru a movie set at the end of my dirt road on my way to work. They were gone by 7 AM Tuesday morning. I don't know if that's all the filming they had planned or if they were shut down by the strike. The Hollywood unions seem to be the only ones with any clout these days....
