thanks, LRL.

Today is the first day of school here. Before I ushered Tyler up to campus, we had a pancake breakfast and contemplated this new semester. I love being involved in a university but not actually attending. I get all the thrills of the new year without the doldrums of studying.

I made some progress on my sweater knitting, completing the back over the weekend, and started on the fronts.

This weekend I went with some friends to the nearby town to go to Ulta and my favorite Salvation Army. (Yes. My town is that small that I will drive almost an hour to get my makeup/polish fix.) I picked up a new polish by butter, the glittery rosie lee just caught my eye and I had to have it.

At Salvation Army I found what I have always been searching for, that perfect vintage chambray shirt. A bit loose, but trim in the arms and that perfect light denim color. I spotted it on a rack, and I heard a choir sing. A vintage Ralph Lauren linen shirt, still with professional cleaning tags on and it was monogrammed, the mark of a real preppie.

Thanks Lilly Raven Labaron.
