Friendship

Stacy, Stacy, Stacy...like the sister I never had.

Getting ready to see Springsteen play Giants Stadium. Kelly, on the left, is my brother's girlfriend. Sandra (grey shirt, right) and I (grey hair, middle) went to high school together.

Chrissy...words can not begin to describe our friendship. We've known each other since she was 5 and I was 7. I love her so!!!

College Scouting in Philly

Spent last weekend scouting colleges for my eldest daughter who is a senior in high school. The Philadelphia/Bryn Mawr area is just lovely...and only a little over an hour and 1/2 from home. Bryn Mawr and Haverford College are amazingly beautiful. But, as it's her decision-not mine- I kept all opinions to myself. She's a smart girl who's worked hard and I know she'll land where she is supposed to. Borrowing from the Kinks: Here's wishing her the bluest skies...I know tomorrow she'll find better things.

Floral Pillows and Laziness...

A few floral pillows to soften up the metal porch furniture I recently claimed from the trash would be just lovely...my sewing machine is set up. I have fabric. What is the deal with just not jumping in and making some pillows? I don't know why I always put off doing what isn't even complicated! Maybe I'll just run to Home Goods and see what they have. Since I am officially a lame-o.
