Great Uncle

Main Street is busy on weekend afternoons at this time of year. I've been noticing so many women carrying Coach handbags, they are popular. On my walk today, I passed by a wedding party being photographed. Yes, the summer bridal season has started. There was another set of limousines further down the road.

K has been exchanging a lot of text messages with this girl from school the past few days. I just told him he has to stop because he doesn't at the moment have a free text messaging phone plan. He told me two of his friends have girlfriends, so this must be his new girlfriend. I'm surprised he'll even tell me her name.

Quite a few of L's friends have been getting their driver's licences and some actually have cars now, so they are becoming more independent.

I was at the bank the other day and instead of free coffee, they had a lemonade dispenser. It's something they do in the summer months and the teller says it's quite popular when the weather gets warm.

M's niece gave birth to a baby boy on May 28th, so the family is ecstatic. That would make M a great uncle!

Hi Christine,
bathroom looks lovely-very inviting.
Did the Jamie Oliver programme tell you about the silly mothers passing chips, beefburgers etc through the school fence at dinner time ?

How funny that you're writing about Coach bags. I just did a post about our friends visiting from Japan and buying all the Coach bags from the outlet here. In fact, we're taking them there AGAIN because they couldn't believe the reasonable prices.

Also, my doctor told me to NOT wear flip flops with my broken foot. Sigh... They really do advise us in Hawaii not to wear flip flops so much. Riiiight....

Congrads on the baby!! My girl has a plan that gives her all the text messages she needs and more. she doesn't have a boy friend but more guys text and MSN her then I care to know!! :o)
Actually one is on the football team and he sees her as his younger sister so I know that if I need help beating some boy I can call "S" and he will help me hahaha Good Luck to him and his new "gf"

Barbara, I didn't see that part about passing the chips. I'm a Jamie Oliver fan.

Kay, thanks for visiting. I still wear flip flops as much as possible, except when I go for my fitness walks. I did read somewhere that there is a designer line that never goes on sale...Louis Vuitton? Those kinds of lines do well in a recession as they seem to hold their value and their clientele.

Soccermom, we're with Rogers cell, are you with Rogers? Or what plan is the girl doing all the texting with?
