According to Facebook, the girls in my life are doing a lot of smiling these days.
Listen to this thread between two sisters:I am just happy to live in a world where the people I care about can be themselves. No matter what that means. Also, a world where there are so many kinds of pie.

You remember the baker lady from the Beth El craft fair? She did the desserts this Shabbat. Had those AWESOME pecan pie squares. Worth eating even if I can't help thinking of that horse.

I really needed a Yippee Skippy day, myself, and you've spread the joy so nicely. Thank you for the thoughtful comment on my blog, too. The Blog Universe is a rather nice place...haven't made so many boon companions since Jazzercise! Thanks for the grin.
