My GOSH it's DECEMBER!!!!

Yours Truly, Darling Man and the Children have a HUGELY busy December. D.M. has his birthday, WE have our anniversary and of COURSE, there also exist Hannukkah, Solstice and Christmas. We do NOT, accordingly, suffer ANY lack of Holiday Cheer :)

So now...where were we...ah yes, the GARB.

We have spent a small fortune on linen and a sewing machine and are pleased to anounce that we can now play the role of both French and Norse nobility with real panache. Now, we must learn How To Line things, so that our Silk budget can also equal the GNP of Chad. After all, we woiuld NOT want the linen to feel left out......Also buying some lovely wool from which to make Appropriate Cloaks. ('cmon LOTTO - Y.T. needs some BLING).

I have determined that I look Spiffily and prettily FAB in Norse and FAB in cotes. Therefore, even my nightgowns will now be in these styles. LOLOL.

Onto the 21st Century for a moment.....

If you have not done so already, being people of Fine Great Taste, RUN do not WALK to the store and purchase the Who's new CD, "Endless Wire." The first new Who in 24 years has been well worth the wait and Yours Truly now finds herself humming "Mike Post Theme" in her sleep. The band is also touring, and reports are that they Sound Marvelous, although Dearest Roger's voice needs more rest than it used to. Well....he IS 62 for heaven's sake.....I have just seen the Sunrise show (11/20/06) and they Kicked Derriere. Yours Truly finds herself again, indecently grateful that they did NOT all die before they got old. (Sorry Pete - you bought that undying reference 41 yearss ago and Are Stuck With It - loveyameanit).

Also, "Tea and Theatre" is simply achingly beautiful and if it does not make you wistful, you have no soul. Pete wrote this as a memento morte for Keith (9/7/78) and John (6/4/02) , and also as a promise to Roger. Listen to it. Listen to it NOW. You will NOT be sorry. Now of course, we must Only Hope and Pray that it is not ANOTHER 24 years before the NEXT new CD......

Back to the Middle Ages:

I REALLY like the way I look in this grab. Sheepy, there remain NO words adequate to thank you for the gift of teaching me to sew. I am but an egg in this skill, but at least I finally made it out of the chicken's...well...you know. :0)

Hugs,
