OK, gotta bring on the cute. Mom's 85th was a couple weeks ago and the 4 kids bought her a beautiful carved screen door for their place in Otter Lake. We chose the Loon carving because she likes the loons more than the otters. (silly woman) We had them carve a couple 85's in there too.
Rather than their last name carved we have their email address because mom and step-dad are adorable. The email address is us2ms because her name is Mary M** and his name is Marlin M**. Sweet as M&M's.

(yes, I know what I will look like at 85 because cloned from the mom)
What a great door, and your mom is adorable! She has a lovely smile (and I do see the resemblance).
Raq, those baby clothes are the cutest. I love the Little Nemo onesie. I've bookmarked the site for when my kids get around to giving me grandkids. Either that or you need to start to make doggie overcoats for dogs the size of, say, a Yorkie.
Laura, that door is so cool! What a wonderful idea. Your mom looked so happy and proud.
ETmake some sense. Geez.
Laura, that door is fabulous. And your mom is a cutie.
There was other stuff, but I'm pooped. And crying. Can't freaking stop crying. Stupid period. Stupid Cambridge apartment. Stupid landlords. Stupid life.
The neat thing about life? It's another day altogether in less than 24 hours. Yay, tomorrow!
Laura, the door is beautiful (!!!) as is your mom.
{{vw}} Trust me on this, the period, the apartment, and the landlords are almost past history. Hang in there sweety.
Raq, those are so cool. I need to go to a shower next month for a girl in my book group. Must get on that.
In good news, though, I've got two big boxes of books to send to Erin's school!
Raq, at least now I know what I'm spending my next paycheck on! Such gorgeous, gorgeous stuff -- beautiful collaborations between those long-ago artists and your own brilliant sense of design.

Laura, your mom is indeed adorable, and you totally have her sparkling eyes.
Bah. Just went on a (no heavy lifting) cleaning frenzy and shredded two fingernails and a knuckle. Ow ow ow.
PMS is enough of a reason to have ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce for dinner, right?
