The Day After

Finally all the hoopla about the Museum dance and the tension that it carried is over. And everybody in my office was just slammed. However I did get a new cell phone that could probably fly me to the moon it has so many gadgets embedded in it.

What did we do this weekend? We bought a new vacuum cleaner after the relatively new vacuum cleaner quit. Just up and stopped. It's all about being able to clean Miss Murray's hair because she sheds quite a bit. And that last vacuum we had was described as being for Pets. So this one is a Dyson and it's really quite a machine with some very strategic engineering that enthralled Kate. She says now that she wants to be an architect but I'm thinking that in her brain lurks a very good industrial designer....She broke the machine out of its box, put it together and demosntrated it to everybody including one of our neighbors.

Then she and I came up to the Museum because I was minus some essential hardware for my new phone -- the right plug -- and had lunch up here and then went over to Lilly Pulitzer because I want her to have a dress for a dinnr we are having with Grandma Dot in a couple of weeks at the Cos Club. Lilly Pulitizer is all pink, green, blue and yellow which caught Kate's eye until she kept seeing small bows attached to everything which she denounced as being kiddish and good only for running in the grass. Suddenly the sales woman found a really vibrant pink dress with tigers on it that seemed to fit the bill. Kate liked it, I liked it and we could afford it. Of course Kate poor darling just happened to see a dress that she liked better as we were almost out of the door and when she tried it on declared it a triumph. I declared it too expensive and something I would try to find when the sales came along. But I felt so sorry for her because who hasn't been there. You see it, you want it and how can it be that you can't have it! Zounds.

Well that was our Mommy daughter day which we capped off by watching Auntie Mame and we all loved it. Brought back alot of memories for me.
