Joyce, the pictures are glorious. Your profession is obvious! You really are GOOD.
Aly, when Frances walked into my room she said, "Osama's been killed" and I immediately thought it was someone else... Not funny at all, but very weird.
Toss those clothes you'll never again fit in, dear girl. Or save a couple of really good pieces as a reminder of how well you've done. And enjoy having pictures taken! I wondered how having the children leave would affect you, Aly. Hope you bounce back soon
Diane, glad your visit with T and grandchildren went well, and the dog is safely out of the house for your trip! Dogs and chewing...I also have some memories. My grandmother made a set of hooked rugs for each of us... and one of the dogs began her two year outdoor duty by eating off an edge of a round rug. Funny, when she outgrew the chewing and returned inside, I never had to call her name twice, lol. We had a strip of doggie motels and runs way behind the house, where later Phil built his workshop.
