your project is almost over! wow. Whatever will you do?

and picking up kid clothes gets so annoying, but it doesn’t compare to SHOES. Aren’t shoes the most annoying things? they’re always plopped everywhere BUT where they’re supposed to be.

shoes. And I really like shoes too!

It was quite a day. I played the ‘must go back to work’ card, and so missed out on about half of the photo shoot, but even that was grueling. (Interesting that the root word of ‘grueling’ seems to be ‘gruel’ — how did we get from tasteless, watery-thin porridge to difficult and arduous? Apparently in the 1850’s, the word gruel was a synonym for punishment. This makes it all clear.)

I set a good example to all the children by remaining cheerful and patiently posing and smiling without complaint. Oh, wait, no, I didn’t. I was the one whining and scowling. I felt an obligation to remain in character for all those childhood photos — I was such a joy to my parents, I’m sure.

Not wanting to steal Kathy’s thunder, but we chose (or rather, it was chosen for us by Kathy) a brown on brown theme, with brown highlights. OK, maybe there was some cream involved. I guess it all comes back to gruel, which is also brown.

Can’t wait to hear the color scheme and see some non-smiling models.

You write SO well, dear Katherine. I love you period. AK
