you're too funny! I love the new topper! i know. . . i sort of "get in trouble" from my in-laws if i interrupt my father in law's morning routine of reading our blog. i was on high speed for a couple of months with lots of visitors and trips and such, but january has been quiet. . it's sort of a little joke between us of course. so, just like you, this was an easy post, and something for him to read on monday morning. . . . my granola needs stirring. . . love "hearing" from you. . . if you read "fashion diva" it has a photo of alani in the skirt you sent :) thanks again!
