Honest to god, I pull her pictures out every chance. A friend of mine in Australia emailed today - he and his wife are expecting their first. We have a breakfast date in Cairns in September (I'm there for a conference) and he said he'd show me the ultrasounds. I said "David, you can do that, but I have tons of baby pictures." We promised we'd bore each other to bits.<BR/><BR/>Betmo, EVERYONE deserves a break. It was funny, I can plan everyone else's travel, but when it comes to my own, I'm a vegetable. I brought pictures, my cousin and I just hung out and relaxed. I told her all about the cutlery introductions.<BR/><BR/>Pete, she'll be a politician AND a travel professional. And a Cubs fan.<BR/><BR/>Pissed off Patricia, she changes all the time! It amazes me.<BR/><BR/>Glenda, isn't being a grandparent a treat? I love it.<BR/><BR/>Karena, I'm a big believer in good manners - in that respect I am conservative. And having conversations with spoons, and bowls, and platters is a start. Hell, if the neoconservatives had good manners, we probably would not have invaded Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Tina, sometimes I feel like I'm missing everything because I'm in LA and she's in Chicago, but that's why we have phones, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Yoga, thank you! She has a 4 year old suitor in Brisbane.<BR/><BR/>BZ, my daughter sent that photo about a month ago, so I just used it - I need to track her down and wag my finger at her for depriving me of daily photos. Just kidding.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Charles, this child is easier than tomatoes, I think.<BR/><BR/>OWL, when my daughter described it to me, I was crying, both laughter tears, and poignent tears. She's amazing.<BR/><BR/>Sumo, thank you, she's got a lot of it!<BR/><BR/>Crabbi, I agree - I also love the Friday relief from too much heaviness in the world.DivaJoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534571327558009753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-1154999821120541502006-08-07T18:17:00.000-07:002006-08-07T18:17:00.000-07:00She's adorable.

You need it especially after the last few weeks, but deserve it especially so now that you got such horrible news about your friend.

I have no kids, so I don't know if manners are taught to children that much anymore.<BR/><BR/>I have to call my grandmother to get the exact quote of a well-mannered woman she knew that had the longest, but most gracious greeting when she answered the telephone. It was something like, "Hello, my this is Barbara Jean Johnson, wife of Henry James Johnson, Dean of the College of (blank) at the University of (blank).<BR/><BR/>I think manners are really important!
