Judith, I love the shoes. Especially the pink and green one, of course. ;~) I have a Halloween shoe that I love. Those candy necklaces will look really cute with your candyland Christmas theme. And what a great buy on the red flatware. I've been looking for red lately. I really like yours the best of any I've seen. I love the colors in your melamine dishes also. We want to see a table done with them please. ;~) And I have the same black and white "scarves" from Walmart. Great minds think alike! LOL It's never too early to buy holiday stuff. Luvs is right, if we don't get it when we see it it might not be there when we go back. I love those "Mom" looks. They work good. Karen, Great buy on the PINK napkins. You have to get brave and do a table for us. With your Bordello you could do a little tea table. And thank you for defending me. LOL And Kathleen, I am NOT the only "Pinkie" here. But, I will admit that if I had been there with Karen I would have been shouting, "Buy the pink napkins" LOL

I don't know the names of the murderer and the murderee, but I know they were married. They appear in quite a few photos taken before I was born, when my parents lived in the Village. I don't think they show up, or at least not often, in pictures taken after my parents moved to Queens, so they were probably neighbors in the Village. Yes, both my parents had a great sense of humor. They had a good time with their many friends, including shared vacations, etc. As I've mentioned here before, my mom was only 38 when she died. A lot of people were stunned. I'd love to know what happened to my cousin Beth, Buddy's beautiful daughter with his first wife. She was a few years older than I. I haven't seen her since childhood. Incidentally, I think his first wife was the "drunken" woman seen in the picture with the piano player, if anyone remembers that one.

When it comes to tellin'/showin' jokes, Ron, ya old fart, ... you're a Johnny-on-the-Spot! Or, is that a john? o j P.S. I'm sending this on, as well ... too good to keep to one's self! o j

Well if you don't beat all. Girlie, this is truly magnificent. GEESH - you're talented. No way could I do that, and my DD wants me to make a mosaic of a horse of which she took a picture when she was a Road Nurse here. I don't know where to start. I sooooooo love what you've done already, and w/follow w/interest. You made ME LOL at your description of the beads. GO Girl. When I had that surgery done, it wasn't so bad that I couldn't do hand work. You'll do fine.
