Kate beat me to it: French seam. It's a great technique
for very sheer fabric, too.

Blech! The only good thing about taking the cars in for service is
getting to sit in the waiting room and read a book. :) Well...and
that the cars run when I need them to..... ;)

We get that a lot too now for some reason. She's 17 and I'll be 40 in
a couple months. Makes me feel REALLY good when someone asks if I'm
her older sister. LOL She laughs about it too. And says "no that's
my gorgeous Mommy." ;)

Aww!
No-ne will ever mistake James and I for siblings, though plenty say he
looks like me. 38 years is a bit of a large gap!

I took along my MP3 player and listened to a financial
advisor I subscribe to. Not that any of the advice is
working ATM, but it's better than three-year-old magazines.
And they did advised me to replace the rear brake pads, so
that's done, I'm safer, and $300 lighter in the wallet. :-(

At 17 your DD can roll with it. DD was 29 and I was 55 when
it happened to us. Made me feel great, made DD go home and
dye her hair.
