Lobster jammies (posted by Ann)

Our niece, Kris, sent me this picture. When she lived with us for the summer, we found these pajamas in a catalog and thought they were so funny they became a joke - "lobster jammies! Ha ha ha!" So when Kris was preparing to go back to college, I got us both a pair. Isn't this a great picture? That was four years ago, and she is out of college now and working, doing great. I wish she'd come to visit, but at least she sent me this picture! I'd forgotten about the whole lobster jammie thing, and it makes me smile to see the picture.

We're having a semi-quiet week. Don is in Chicago all week and not working, Steve had Monday off from school, and I'm in Winston-Salem Tuesday through Thursday. We have hired a new housekeeper (hooray!) and I'm thinking good thoughts about her longevity in the job and her ability to avoid the Johnston family housekeeper curse. Think with me, please, so it will outpower the bad karma.

Hope all of the moving happened without too much trauma, and that you are back home for a little bit before you are on the move again. I hear Mom and Dad may be going to Spain - what a great trip! They will really enjoy it, and I hope they take advantage of the opportunity. They should take Steve along as interpreter, and me to haul bags. Or water. Or something - anything!
