5 things:
1. Twitter today offers this tweet from @Zerotothree: "...More than 2.5 million grandparents serve as primary caregivers for their grandkids." If you ride public transportation, this
is NOT news. Further, the photo accompanying the Tweet shows a serene (asleep?) white grandma and ONE chubby white infant. Haven't seen that combo yet. The grannies (and grandpas) I see in the bus or metro here in DC are Hispanic or black, and they are usually wrangling 3 & 4 lively kids, including one infant. That's a lot of kids.
So Twitter's stats are based on number of grandparents, not number of grandkids being cared for by a grandparent??
2. I got a package from Amazon yesterday, thanks to the good graces of my neighbor next door. The
coop has changed their mail delivery arrangement from inside the lobby to outside at a curbside mailbox station. The curbside station CAN receive packages in two larger boxes (big enough for, say, two cans of soup or a box of Wheaties), but can't handle anything larger. (I
was wondering how Amazon was going to deliver it--by drone, through one of my two windows or
the porch door??)
My neighbor saw the delivery guy outside puzzling over how to ring my doorbell and brought the package in. I think A should train its delivery people in the fine art of carrying a big box up one flight of stairs instead of handing it to a woman who was 80 when I moved in 3 years ago and letting her carry it. She of course is quite strong, as I am, but still.... I'm going to tell them this, too.
3. It's nice and cool here today--if you can call 73F with no rain and a nice breeze cool. I do. Love it.
4. But that brings up my haircut. Should I cut it very short (er than it is now)? Or is it too late
in the season? I remember my first very short cut and how CHILLY it was.
5. Having fun, full of love. xoxoxo
I liked the hair cut you had when we saw you last. Good length for you!
ReplyDeletethanks, sweetheart. It's about that now, and I've found a good haircutter who can repeat her successes!! I like to keep it short for swimming. Your hair always looks wonderful!!
