Back from Pittsburgh

Rian

Tom and I have been in Pittsburgh the last week to see our granddaughter, Rian, graduate from Quaker Valley High School. Under the academic gown, she wore a lace peach colored dress (very Mad Men style) and five inch patent leather heels. She was a knock-out, I'm telling you.

I didn't take my laptop. I have enough trouble getting through an airport setting off alarms with my fake ankle. A laptop seemed like too much trouble. So I was unplugged for a week which appealed to my agoraphobic side, which is powerful right now.

Right now I can't drag the best photos from Dede's facebook. I need a lesson from Tom but I'm too tired.

Don't you think high heels make women's legs look super sexy?

Whew! I was just holding my breath, hoping your absence from the 'net wasn't foretelling bad things.

I love graduations! They are the best. Yes, I think high heels make a woman's legs look sexy. I haven't worn a heel in 10 years. I would feel bad about it, but having pain-free feet is pretty awesome.
