Glad he’s feeling better… I’m sure the zoo helped out!! No worries about the cold sore, I still get upset every time I feel a little tingle on my lip (thinking it’s herpes) and stress until it is {only} a pimple.. what relief. I’m on the east coast..very east coast, but I’ve been to San Diego twice and the zoo is my absolute favorite!!

I’m very jealous.. it’s so much fun .. Atleast we have the largest aquarium here in Atlanta for me to see often…

Actually, I love most all of San Diego anyway..

[...] and their 9 month old daughter, Brayden. (You can see all 9 years of our niece in this picture, here.) They would be our first dinner guests, ever. I was very nervous and wanted everything [...]

About a month or so ago, I SO thought my 17 month old had herpes! The whole time, I’m thinking how did this kid get herpes? I found out that babies can pass it to each other when gumming or chewing on each others toys at playgroups, malls, playgrounds, etc. I was FREAKING OUT! Turns out it was hand, foot and mouth disease. Ummm…. that’s all I have to say about that.

You are such a great writer, your stories are soo darn funny. I am so glad Mickey is feeling so much better, prayers my dahling Looks like you had a great time at the Zoo if you like even more hills (lol) try the Wild Animal Park sometime, that was our fave when the kids were young and now its the grandkids, talk about hiking though you walk everywhere good for the heart right?? hugs~

Becky–I was going to get muslin, but the linen was on sale 50% off (!) and worked out to be the same price. Also, I LOVE linen. It’s a sickness. But, the drop cloth idea is so brilliant! Of course I never thought of that. Humph.

I am so excited to hear about the sewing lessons! Hint: cheap muslin kinda looks like linen from the audience. Heck, you can even pick up a drop cloth from home depot and sew that into a robe.
I’m sure you were learning and wanted to do it right, but I think you could have eked out the sleeves with a bit of creative pattern work. If it were here we would have to add room for snow pants and a turtleneck underneath.
And why does your mother brain go right to 18th century disease for the blister?? LOL. I can’t blame you.. Last time I was in London and roaming the beautiful cemeteries all I could think about were all the plague victims buried there. I didn’t breathe very deep.

You dearest, are a riot.

Can you whip me up a halloween costume? I chose to learn to crochet this weekend instead of learn to sew. And I can guarantee I’m not going to crochet a costume by Saturday.

I’m proud that you are learning to sew. I keep thinking I will – my cousin has even offered lessons. But I’m still traumatized from those days of old when I tried to sew a windsock in Home Ec. My teacher finally suggested perhaps I should take it home and let my mom “help me.” If that’s any indication …

I was just at the San Diego Zoo two weekends ago. Loved it but yeah, those hills are something else.
