I also pray for our veterans and our military people. My Dad was a veteran of WWII and was injured in a bombing. He spent the rest of his life in pain because of that injury. He taught us to be proud to be American and to remember our freedom has a price! Whenever I see a person I know is a veteran I always tell them thank you. So thank you to all the service people out there. Everyone have a safe and happy weekend! Nancy VB

I remember this table, OA ...& love your creativity here for your DGD's...soccer players!!! Those Cabbage Patch dolls are $Priceless! (& how wonderful that they've been recycled by Santa to your GD's!) Good taste in colors (your GD's choices) & you've carried the R/B theme delightfully...the plates, polka dot linens, bowls ...everything! Hey I was the same age as you back in '62 Where girls just played intermural sports ... With friends of all sorts ... So it's fun these 50 yrs later To see girls become the 'real' players! You rock, OA! Great t'scape! Jeanne S.

I work in an all girls school, so we celebrate it (and the girls), but I had no idea it was such a huge deal in the Ukraine. I'd be interested to know how it came about to be such a big deal there?

Speaking of mumu's, I was telling my sister awhile back that I now understand why older women like them, they are so easy to put on when your back is out. I told her I might just get a couple. She threatened to never speak to me again if I started wearing mumu's. I told her she would have to come over and help me get dressed then. But I've found just the right thing if you like having pockets in the garden are those surgical tops that they have at Walmart - wonderful big pockets and they are loose-fitting and comfortable and cool in the heat.
