This morning ltc was so excited to tell me one of the kids in her class wears a leg brace. She’s such a sweetie.

Tea:

That tile is awesome, Susan.

Tile is a great choice.

Aww, ltc is indeed a sweetie. I can see her being excited to tell you.

I love that tile. Good luck with everything!

Several schools in the area are closed today because of the heat, which is a first for this area, but ltc very happily still has school today. I overdid it a bit yesterday. So I think I’ll spend today looking through the stacks of magazines that need to be dealt with anyway.

I hope TomW and flea had excellent birthdays! Yesterday was one of those days when I kept starting posts and then having to go off and do something else and never actually posting them, so I don't think I got my birthday wishes onto the board...

Today is meeting after meeting all morning and into the afternoon so I probably won't even get to start posts and abandon them after this one

I don't have any caftans specifically, but I do have closet full of cotton dresses with pockets (pretty much all like these) that meet the comfiness requirements. Also some flowy sleeveless summer tunics. The trick is wearing them with cotton shorts (ideally also with pockets) so that neither chub rub nor indiscreet sitting get in the way of an otherwise delightful outfit.

And I also think Edgefield (outside PDX) would be a great location for a F2F. Not only because it's close enough that I could bring a cat (or two) for visits, but mostly because it's essentially a resort with multiple restaurants, more bars than you can find without a map, a hotel, hostel rooms, a soaking pool, and endless areas for wandering should one need to get away from other humans. Annual pickathon is on the grounds and that features three stages, so that might give an idea as to the acreage one might wander, should one need to go a walking. Best to avoid summer, though, the summer concert series (June-September) invites crowds on weekends. But maybe now enough folks are out of school/teaching that a shoulder season F2F might actually work? October is delightful around here, as is May. And I can drive shuttles to/from the airport. Just sayin ;)

Love that tile and totally think it works for the era.

I can maybe convince her if she can have her ow minions.

Not Atropa but I don’t see why not. Gotta learn leadership when they’re young.

erin, I shower immediately after work (because dirty job) and put on some kind of house dress with knit boxers underneath until time for bed.

and in fashion followup, thought it worth sharing that I currently have four sets of these 3/4 length leggings (and two sets of the full length cotton leggings....and three pairs of their cotton yoga pants).

I love them. Not the most flattering soft pants in the world, but soooooo comfy.

Gotta be the cotton ones, though, Svaha also sells Other Leggings in Other Materials which are less delightful, though more fashion-forward. I've gotten to a point where if it isn't cotton or linen, I don't want to wear it more than a few hours.

yaaaaaaas. So comfy. And honestly, can go right to bed in it as well!
