Teacher, I hope your evening went well. I am sure no one would have faulted you if you decided to stay home, though.

GSG, you are adorable!!!! What an idiot. My favorite retort is, "Did you learn how to be rude in school or were you brought up that way?" No one ever knows what to answer.

Jean, I have a friend who this happened to, but she had all three of her children in the car. She too got out, went to the back and recognised the woman as a parent from the school. She calmly told her that she was not going to endanger her children and was going to wait until she felt it was safe enought to turn, surely she understood, being a parent? Then she walked back to her car, slowly put her seatbelt on, and waited until every last car was out of the way, even going the other way. This happened a few years ago, the lady still avoids my friend when she sees her

HAs anyone heard form Julie or SharonM?

Sigh, how lucky you are. Those pictures are priceless, brought tears to my eyes, remembering and making me wish that my parents were still around.

My parents had a cat named RC. That cat never walked anywhere because my dad carried him around. It was the sweetest thing.

My sister moved in to my parents house after my mom passed away to take care of my dad. Every morning, my dad and Zip, my sister's cat, shared a donut at the island in the kitchen. My dad sat at one end and Zip sat at another, just waiting for his share of the donut.

Those pictures are so special. I love that Sybil has bonded to your dad. Kind of makes up for biting grandma, hu?

And what does Mr. Simon think of all of this?

Opps, sorry, spoke too soon, she's still busy and just checking in every now and then.

But still miss her terribly. Sorry to get all your hopes up.

But hey, I'm here!!

dear Sierra, how I miss you

Kind of off topic, but does anyone remember the Mad Magazine yearbook? I would love to have one now. It had pictures of kids but the names were hysterical.

Bill Fold
Art Museum
Candy Cane
Patty O'Furniture
Cliff Hanger


Can't remember any of the others. I remember thinking whomever did the names was very clever.

Glad you are home.
Take it easy, Carrie.

Always at the end of a phone conversation to my daughter:
