ok, so mm doesn't have anything quite as clever as l.o.- i have to congratulate l.o. on her razor-sharp wit. i am impressed, as always.........

mean mamma hopes to say hello to her friend, jane- who surely has by now figured out how to access mean mamma's blog. i have worried about her, and feared that she may have been in the hospital or otherwise indisposed during the past summer. i hope she is ok now and getting around as best she can.......i do believe that mamma's friend jane has been to spain- i recall that trip 20+ years ago whereupon she put the whole thing on her amex., and was somewhat shocked when amex wanted their cash, in full, at the end of the month.....obviously, jane has always been my kind of traveler.....for those of you gentle readers that do not know mamma's friend jane, we always drink champagne when we are together- and jane is the kind of gal that can make sitting in a wheelchair drinking champagne look classy......well, jane- i am not putting this trip on an amex- my darling spouse now requires that i actually have the $ in the bank before i buy the tickets....those were the days.........................
