Hi ladies, I left for Hawaii just as this post was going live and unfortunately I had limited internet access on Kauai. Vennie Martinisi, Linda Luinstra and Susan Coster you are all winners! Please send your address to me at rovideo at aol dot com and you will receive your prizes. PS While I was there I resisted the urge to buy anything I won't really wear!
Thanks for all the kind words. Great comments! And some great observations. I was convinced that I'd see one of my neighbors being hauled off by the cops one day. He was a swinging bachelor until one day a woman with a 10 yr old showed up and moved in! Bet there's a story there.
Karen, I think that blonde was just jealous! But amazing how something we're told when we're young can stick with us. If I'm going to wear the red dress I'd better stop eating these chocolate covered pretzels..
Hoppin John...I always mean to make that but usually forget. Maybe this year I will. My mom's no longer with me either and every year I try to make her struffoli.
