I had a woman come out to price post-construction cleaning and asked if they will put in shelf paper. She tells me yes, they just did Mariah Carey's house and put in an off-white paper but she only wants white everything, so they had to pull it all out and redo it. Ha!
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

For anyone who might be interested, here are the pictures from today's ceremony. I got a little carried away photographing people I didn't know as they came out with their certification of citizenship, but it was so awesome seeing everyone. [link]

“Not dead yet!”
Oh Nora, those are WONDERFUL! Yay, Tom!
And I'm so glad you went all crazy taking pictures because this one?
Just made me tear up like a baby.
And was that REALLY Tom's first Twinkie? And if so, what did he think?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Go you, Tom! Being a citizen and all!
(my new tactic with that is just to stop talking when they are fiddling with their phones.)
I do this in Life. It's surprisingly effective. I assume because they are abashed. Alternately they are parents and honestly need to pay attention to the call or text. In one, I am using Good Manners as a teaching tool. In the other, just actually using good manners.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I love the pics, Nora. And your neighbors are brilliant with the American Stuff gift basket.

Congratulations to Tom!
Hmm, I was at my mother's citizenship ceremony but I don't recall her getting a certificate.
