done







well, we got the email this morning saying mum and dad had done it.  they were finished.  they had arrived in santiago do compostela.  dad got there, took off his hiking boots and socks and left them for another that might need them.  i am not sure what he has on his feet now since they packed light.  maybe he is bare foot! who knows.  still waiting for a detailed update of their last day.  i am sure they are just relaxing and possibly looking for a new pair of shoes.

the other day i was at lunch with nena.  i was rummaging through my purse and before i knew it, ida had grabbed a lipstick and was applying it vigorously.  i had just bought the lipstick, not realizing it was a "pro long wear type".  once on, it was ON.  that little lady had bright orange lipstick on all day and into the night.  i can now attest to the staying power.

Her aim isn't so bad. It's like she had access to a mirror or something.

Your parents are rock stars. The very thought of my parents doing something like this sends me into a fit of hysterics only a very strong suppressant could contain.
