Great pictures, Dorcas. I shall be inordinately bugged by the nylons from Amazon and utterly missing their relevance, until you clue me in.

(Why am I reminded of "a sleeper from the Amazon, put nighties of his grammas on, the reason that, he was too fat, to get his own pajamas on"? It's nylons, not nighties. This might not be Dorcas's sense of humor, either.)

Get well soon!

Oh! Because they couldn't find nylons from Dollar General. (I went back to re-read.)

See, I have sort of quit wearing nylons and discovered a couple days before the wedding that I really needed hosiery with my outfit but the only ones I owned were black.

Hence the daughters heading to Dollar General.

I love these! Such a typical fun family! You are only an hour away from me in Winchester TN and I wish I could meet you in person sometime when you come again. I love your essays as much as I do Sean Dietrich’s of Sean of the South and Andrew Peterson’s books. I hope your time with Emily is a sweet relaxing time!

I am extremely honored to be in the same paragraph as Sean Dietrich and Andrew Peterson.

It would be lovely to meet you.

I'm chuckling at the Dollar General story, because I also attempted to buy nylons from Dollar General recently...only to find out that they apparently don't carry nylons. Not that we really WANTED to wear nylons, ha ha.

Thanks for the hilarious pictures!! Best wishes for a swift recovery!
