What sight through yonder dressing room breaks?
Why, ’tis my lad, dressed thusly as he is a royal Montague, the father of fair Romeo.
He and his compatriots hath wrought a play of magnificence, such as the world hath never before seen, or so hath they promised.
Lean and lank grows the lad, who will pass his 14th turn around the sun this Sunday.
Woe is the mother who lingers in the past, recalling the days of tiny feet, pudgy fingers, blonde curls and a lisp. Oh how he lispeth!
Lispeth lispeth lispeth.
She misseth his lispeth.
Hahahahaha! I must be tired.
Play runs tonight, tomorrow and Saturday.
In the meantime, I’m going to prepare for next Tuesday’s Talk Like Shakepeare Day, in honour of the Bard’s 449th birthday!
The Country Mice 
Great post, Lois! I was smiling at the first line and laughter and mirth exploded half way through. Nicholas looks stunning, especially the socks! Please give him a birthday hug from me. Oh, and your Shakespearean iambics have you on the way to Talk Like Shakespeare Day. Have fun!!!
Love to all, Alice

Mommy and daddy dropped us off at gigi’s house so he could babysit us little boys…oops! I mean girls ( is what daddy would say )
Julianna and I are being babysat at gigi’s. we found this with gigi on his computer. we read it and we all agreed “WHAT A HANDSOME BOY!”. we hope he will come or we will go to visit him.
I got a retainer the other week and gigi kept on wanting to see them so I kept on opening my mouth.
Its probably better than braces but it still isn’t very comfy.
I’ll live!!😉
I miss you and hope to see you soon!
