Wild Thing

No, not me-I'm as mild as can be. The dressmaker is, Wildman Originals. If I'm going to have a Wildman on me (er, that sounds bad, eh?) I should get into the natural environment of a Wildman-Standing Bear Lake, in Omaha.

Speaking of the wild, I went to pose beneath this tree only to discover this Great Crested Fly Catcher had other ideas. Another soon came to the branch and they raised such a commotion! It was then we realised they had a nest. Sorry! We moved along-the last thing I need is an upset bird flapping overhead.

Know where else a Wildman will feel at home? At the community recreation centre, playing air hockey. Danny met up with another youngster who must have thought we were from outer space. He kept making references to grenades, and other weaponry, and when Danny gave him a blank look (we don't do video games) he turned to us and said, "You should teach him some big words. He's in third grade and doesn't know what a grenade is?" That was kind of funny, but then he started asking why we didn't go to various game-based amusement places in town, and Mr. ETB said, Because they're expensive, and this is free." The kid looked at him like he was speaking Old Norse and couldn't understand before timidly asking, "Don't you have any money?"
"Sure, but if we spent it all on video games we wouldn't have any money for other stuff like haircuts." He replied. The poor kid. He looked at Danny's long hair, and then at Mr. ETB whose hair is longer than mine, and softly asked, "You can't afford haircuts?" Humour is lost on kids these days, as they're so literal. Anyway, I'm sure he went home and told his parents about the poor people at the community centre that couldn't afford haircuts.

One more thing I should mention about being in the wild...

It makes my nose itch something terrible!

That's better.

 I almost forgot to buy these earrings as they were in the case. I'm glad I remembered to ask to see them.

 OK, there's the leg on the vanity thing, so all is well with my hips and knees today.
On the left you see my skincare regime-cold cream at night to take off makeup, and witch hazel in the morning before makeup. I'm so low-maintenance. On the right are the nail varnishes, and my "shower specs" so I can see to shave my legs. You don't have magnifying glasses for the shower? Try it, it will change your life. You'll steam up a bit if the water is really hot, but otherwise they work really well. Yes, I'm old. And blind.

 Racy leg photo. The slip is almost too nice to hide beneath clothes, but I'm not up for wearing it as a dress. Nighty, yes. Slip, no (at least not yet anyway).

 Wait, that looks too ladylike.

Yeah, that's better.

Have an excellent week.
