Good Afternoon! Thanks for getting us started, Jean. The thread is busy today! Glad you got at least part of your trimming done before the storm. I have been going back and forth over the TSV, and I think that is probably a sign that it should be a "no". I have three jean jackets already -- one that is quite old (more than 10 years) one from Chico's (orange with beautiful embossing on the back), a D&Co. one in bright pink (not as old as the Chico's one, but several years old), and an IM one I got from eBay a couple of years ago (medium/dark denim). I keep telling myself that three is more than enough for my needs since our weather is often too hot for a jacket, and I'm not sure about the crop part. On the other hand, I am short and maybe a cropped jacket would look great. Decisions/decisions. I wonder why I get myself in these silly internal debates over "things" than I really don't need.
Waves to Marijane, Bernie, Barbara, twinny, Charlene, Kathleen, and all of our posters and readers.
It has been a pretty busy day for me. Walking, strong bones class, and then visiting DH. I have a bookclub meeting later this afternoon (The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane: A Novel" by Lisa See), and then I'll need to write up my notes/report on the meeting.
Strong bones was interesting -- only three of us in attendance, and I was the "leader". One of the ladies is going to Greece for three months, and I was very interested in her stories. Her Dad was born in the U.S., but his parents were Greek and never learned English. The same for her Mom. She learned Greek before she learned English, and still keeps in touch with her relatives over there. She told some charming stories about going to church early in the morning and buying fresh Spanakopita on the way home (inexpensive and delicious.) Her husband is from Texas, and doesn't know Greek. Fortunately, the young relatives know English and want to practice. She also told a funny story about when she first met his parents in Texas. They asked were her Father was from -- happy when she said Athens, but thought it was Athens, Texas or Athens, Georgia rather than Greece. LOL
Very happy your DD was okay and made her flight, Charlene. I know trucks can be quite expensive, so I'm sorry she may be forced to buy one earlier than expected.
Good for you with the painting, twinny. I'm sure you do a good job.
Hope you find a certificate and area that is a good fit, Kathleen.
Sorry some of you are having storms and other bad weather. It is sunny and hot here, but "only" in the lower 90's.
DH was in pretty good shape -- sleepy, but smiling.
Have a nice evening everyone, and sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
