Hi em -
here’s the lineup today - Win’s at the spa becoming even more beautiful.
Rhonda and Jen have a lot to do at the house, so pitch in if appropriate.
Day bed delivery at 3. I will want to use some furniture polish on it, then I want to put on a twin bedskirt (maybe one of the yellow flowered ones from downstairs?) andetc.

1. Slipped right into my Southern accent when asking Walter, the yard guy, if “you and yours have some big plans for the holiday!?”

Sliding Doors
genevieveclare:
Scenes-from-my-hood posted something about this a while ago, and thanks to a weird dream last night, I’ve been thinking about the alternate paths my life could have taken if I had made different choices.
