I didn't even check for exp. date on disposable but did use the little flash option which I'm sure messed up chances of getting anything at all. Took at least ten up super close and all up in someone's yard. Thought for sure I'd get at least a few feathers but nada.<br /><br />{sue} - First I must say I loved your piece at LTYM and laughed at your post about your wardrobe mishaps because I thought you looked great and so together. We should trade stories of our moms some time, they might like to reconnect some day with their own ;). Second, thanks for stopping in and saying nice things! <br /><br />amy of the salvage collection - I trust you on the ghost and am impressed you didnt have heart failure. Hovering? Oh my hell no.

Hope you enjoy it here. So nice to meet you too! <br /><br />Deb - Thank you for reading and leaving such a nice note. The last lune gave me chills, hadn't thought of it that way. Appreciate the analogy very much. Interesting how sometimes it's easier to push myself physically (gym mouse, not quite rat status yet) but not always otherwise. I will remember this the next time my husband wants to go to the movies on date night. I can push myself to at least intro we have improvement! Thanks again for your time and words.<br /><br />Kate - LOL, and belieeeve me, it did make me crazy which is why I tried again. Although now I really like Deb's notion that it's okay to have only happened once. thank you for delivering such a compelling group of readers with stories I still feel are now sewn into my own experience as a mom. I loved so much the simplicity of it all: basic chairs, lined up water bottles, no extra fluff, just moms who popped to life in front of us, the audience, who soaked them in one word at a time. Awesome job. And yeah, I pretty much lost it when Anna stood up to read. And the applause after she finished was even more telling she had a few supporters out there in your shadows. <br /><br />Lady Jennie - Thank you so much for stopping in to read and comment. I'm happy you felt the humor came through considering I was ready to commit myself without the picture. What's stranger is that I never go anywhere without my phone or my camera, except that day of course.OSMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516772645440098038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574767565428481632.post-59274676285102789582012-05-14T10:39:47.984-04:002012-05-14T10:39:47.984-04:00I'm visiting from Anna's and she's rig...I'm visiting from Anna's and she's right - this post is a treasure!
