This is a great exhibition, well worth the visit. And yes, I'm actually surprised at how useful the faux fur vest is.<br />Isn't it great to have a favourite restaurant at a walkable distance -- good for the digestion afterwards, as well.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-86153630905018379372013-12-29T16:15:32.994-08:002013-12-29T16:15:32.994-08:00Have you ever eaten at Bishops, L?

Our kids think my husband and I never disagree (and we normally don't much after 43 years of marriage) but every little once in awhile some silly little thing manages to snowball and then the built up tension bursts! When I was younger, the snoring used to annoy me until I heard a friend, who had recently lost her husband, comment that she'd give anything to be lying next to her snoring husband.

It's still festive and celebratory, but not at manic as the pre-Christmas rush. We attended a very nice cocktail party/buffet last night. It was so fun to have an excuse to dress up a bit, and we met some very interesting people. So glad to hear Nola loved the vest, and not surprised in the least. :-)Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-6626204130017838172013-12-29T07:14:10.952-08:002013-12-29T07:14:10.952-08:00And I hope all the sweeter in mended state!And I hope all the sweeter in mended state!LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-57900980640510295992013-12-29T05:57:41.942-08:002013-12-29T05:57:41.942-08:00Visiting the VAG is on my list of January activiti...Visiting the VAG is on my list of January activities. We all knew that Nola would be very happy with the leopard vest. Have you worn your similar vest?
