Yesterday, at 8:15 AM, I creeped upstairs to take this picture:
Hannah K. — seventeen years, to the minute, old.
She has spent every day since we returned with friends, so I don’t feel like I’ve seen her at all. But she seemed to have had a good time yesterday, which is what matters most.
Not too many Tennessee photos to share. Found a great little teapot-for-one at the Goodwill store:
Reading Peggy Lipton’s autobiography there. Anyone else’s late-childhood/early teen years impacted by Julie Barnes?
Riley got along with us a wee bit better this trip. She even jumped into my lap once. But mostly, she sat on her favorite chair in the library:
Shopping, etc. were severely curtailed, due to suffocating lack of money. So, I got a good bit of knitting done. Like this reversible cables scarf:
Quite a bit to go on it still, so the should-I or shouldn’t-I-felt-it question doesn’t have to be solved immediately. But it is pressing.

I’m sure Hannah will treasure that picture always.
Riley looks like she nabbed the good chair.
And oh yes. Loved Peggy Lipton.

Ah, another picture to save for the grandkids.
Riley is a beauty and you’re just lucky she allowed you under her paws. At least that’s what she probably thinks.
Love the teapot.

I’m glad to see that it’s a parent’s perogative to continue taking sleeping picture of one’s offstpring. I plan to snap sleeping pics well into teenagerdom as I can.

Darling tea pot, and Riley is as pretty as ever. I’m happy you had a nice trip…dead batteries and all.

I love the tea pot!
Oh yeah, the Mod Squad. I was terminally pissed off that I couldn’t have hair like hers.
