ok, so it has come to mean mamma's attention that her blog is hopelessly out of date- with it's color scheme, lack of snazzy scanned photos, etc, profile of 20 questions 'like how much weight have you gained since you got married? none of your business, next question.......' of course, mamma is much too mean to care about looking dated- she may even switch to an avocado and coppertone theme to be totally 70's, her basic comfort zone. i do watch that 70's show from time to time, and though i contend that none of my friends were that vacant anf shallow- the hairsyles and the clothing are right on target. in fact, those wooden bottom sandals that the young ones are wearing these days were 'in' when i was a freshman in college- i wouldn't buy another pair- as they were horribly uncomfortable, made too much noise on most walking surfaces, and were easy to 'fall off of'. as the teacher says, there is nothing new under the sun.....
