I've got a nasty cold too. It arrived very quickly, I woke up Thursday feeling fine, and by lunch I was coughing my head off and feeling just awful. But I'm getting better. The lovely weather helps.

Very immature and very mean and hurtful, that telephone call that never should have been made, and never should have been heard by that poor child, or by us. Such selfish parents, those two 'stars'.

Your kind of stars are what to see and what to talk about, Paula. I hope you and Jaye see a spectacular show.

Today my husband found little Hazel's stuffed toy, Lemon, a small white plush cat that disappeared during Easter. Lemon was crammed into the ivy under the fence. Hazel must have hidden it when she hid Easter eggs. Hazel is not a forgetful child.... and she was not upset when Lemon went missing. Hmmmmm. I wonder if Hazel meant for it to stay hidden in the ivy...

All the best,
