You have all passed with flying colors and are now proud graduates of the Irene Shreve College of Guilt Trips. </i><br /><br />HA!<br /><br />I do heartily endorse Howard's cardigan today. It's in a lovely fall orangey-brown, one of my favorite colors.<br /><br />And I had to laugh at your comments about cable TV. I hope this isn't too morbid, but that whole thing reminded me of how I actually laughed for a minute at my dad's funeral. The minister had come by beforehand to get some idea of what to talk about, and mom and I got into a tangent about how mom had been so glad to get cable TV so she wasn't stuck watching golf every Sunday afternoon; she thought dad watched it because there was nothing else on network TV. She learned the hard way that dad (a) honestly enjoyed watching golf, and (b) the cable package carried The Golf Channel. The minister decided to include that little anecdote in the service. I barely managed to stifle a great big "HA!" <br /><br />P.S. I don't care if El IS on Facebook, I'm still not joining.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250238254417726987noreply@blogger.com
