Funny about the shoes - a friend once send back the cellos her twins were playing in the school band - they are big instruments and she didn't want to pay for something they really weren't interested in anyway! Next thing she knows, the school is donating two cellos because they thought she couldn't afford them. We still talk about her "charity cellos"!Denise in PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523418345283854892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-83956337555626809302011-10-16T07:23:48.988-05:002011-10-16T07:23:48.988-05:00Isn't it funny how they disappear when their o...Isn't it funny how they disappear when their overnight guests arrive? We have a boy here right now, and instead of having little people visit me when they woke up in the morning, I could just hear them talking and moving about upstairs. Doesn't bother me, I'm happy to lie in med with my iPad and catch up on blogs. Now, one just walked into my bathroom in search of bandaids. Apparently, they are preparing to go on a hike, and want to be prepared. :)Vesuviusmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447649002367621196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-63815748001164691032011-10-16T03:38:25.102-05:002011-10-16T03:38:25.102-05:00I adore the ordinary-ness, it wounds so homely and...I adore the ordinary-ness, it wounds so homely and lovely! :) I'm kind of wishing someone would offer to buy my kids some shoes!!Lucy | Charm About Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802874219199570853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-78141335334307148052011-10-15T23:38:22.083-05:002011-10-15T23:38:22.083-05:00Ordinary is super fantastic!

If they went to bed that early, I'd say you got off easy!! <br /><br />I think I'd have felt funny also about the coach calling over the shoes. I don't think today, many go out of their way to see what is going on with kids. I guess it keeps you from getting too comfortable. Just when you think you have one issue tackled and working to your liking, BAM....here comes something else! Keeps thing from not getting dull!!! Hope your Sunday is smooth sailing....I voted at the quilt show too....a fantastic quilter by the name of Lane got my vote!Coloradoladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312809532968928183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-75668231111402410582011-10-15T13:27:48.058-05:002011-10-15T13:27:48.058-05:00We feel Rob's agony over lawn mowers; every ye...We feel Rob's agony over lawn mowers; every year we go through the process of looking at mowers "just in case" and finally ending up with just repairing again. Our mower is nearly 26 years old and the bag is nearly shot but it still runs pretty good and Scott seems to be able to bring it back from the dead no matter what seems to go wrong. THAT'S IT... it's no longer a lawn mower but a Zombie Mower!~ Here's to the Zombie's may they last until someone comes out with a GREAT replacement.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553330657363385668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-72340230222629247152011-10-15T11:40:44.951-05:002011-10-15T11:40:44.951-05:00It sounds like a wonderfully "normal" we...It sounds like a wonderfully "normal" weekend! Enjoy it while you can! You got off easy if you didn't hear anything past 11:30! I'm glad the overnite has gone well. I'm wanting to try Thai food, but just can't tolerate too much spice. I ordered black bean soup at a restaurant the other day and asked how spicy it was. The server told me it was considered very mild. Goody! I love black bean soup! So I ate two bites and fell into a coughing fit that lasted 15 minutes off and on. Bleh. Blankety-blank asthma anyway!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082295990536140884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-76550381855694659102011-10-15T11:17:00.353-05:002011-10-15T11:17:00.353-05:00With the economy being the way it is, perhaps ther...With the economy being the way it is, perhaps there are more kids whose parents just can't afford it now? :) Good luck on your quilt, and I look forward to seeing it!<br /><br />I need to cut out a couple quilts. I just have so much other sewing to do that it's been pushed back again and again. And the vampire pumpkin costumes are sitting on my sewing table mocking me!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717835382469677601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-69309701835913970042011-10-15T10:57:37.399-05:002011-10-15T10:57:37.399-05:00I love this post, it's like the letters my fri...I love this post, it's like the letters my friends and I used to write when there before email. You really write well, and I keep hoping for that great American novel from you.<br /><br />I am having the same problem Rob is having with lawn mowers but with washing machines--I have the money for new ones, but hate everything I'm seeing (with the help of Consumer Reports.) So we repair.<br /><br />One thing concerns me about Syd's gym shoes. Why didn't she ask for new ones? On the plus side, having a coach care enough to call and offer to help is great--think how many don't care. With the adults Syd has around her, she can't help but turn out to be a wonderful young woman.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.com
