They're not your mother's readers...

Witchy Woman (from last fall) and Wintry Woman (from last winter) transformed into Winsome Woman for the spring and summer months, complete with a pink straw hat and vintage scarf!


WW asked if she could model a pair of my reading glasses for you (she thought this pair was a good match for her outfit!)...


It appears that all those elephant ears from Rockport didn't affect my weigh-in this week as I was down 4 pounds! Woo hoo!!! And I couldn't do it without my reading glasses!



There's no way I could read nutrition labels or calculate points without these babies! At my eye exam earlier this year, I asked my doctor if I needed prescription glasses or if I could continue with my array of (cheap) readers. She told me the cheap readers would be fine and I was using the perfect strength for my eyes.

Good news because I've actually got quite a collection of inexpensive readers (some from The Christmas Tree Shop, some from Michael's or AC Moore). I found the blue pair above this summer and I love them - they remind me of Claudia's pretty blue glasses! Tomorrow I'll show you where I store them!

Stay cool whereever you are - it's HOT HOT HOT in the Northeast, but worse than the heat is the HIGH HUMIDITY!!!

Which witch is which?

You may remember meeting "Witchy Woman" last week...



I'd like you to meet her cousin, "Worldly Woman"...


My daughter decided Witchy Woman would be perfect for a “store display” project for one of her classes. Luckily she found her own mannequin head, but begged and pleaded to borrow Witchy’s scarf and brooch. She then set to work making her a fashionable woman of the world! (I'd give her an A+!)


And not to worry… Witchy Woman found another scarf & brooch, and she’s as happy as ever overseeing meals in the dining room…

Anyhow, all of this cousin stuff brought to mind the old Patty Duke show… Some of you might not even remember this show, but for those of you who do (and who would like to relive a few minutes of innocence), here’s the You Tube video of The Patty Duke Show theme song:

Lyrics to The Patty Duke Show Theme Song

Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,

From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.

But Patty's only seen the sights

A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights --

What a crazy pair!

But they're cousins,

Identical cousins all the way.

One pair of matching bookends,

Different as night and day.

Where Cathy adores a minuet,

The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,

Our Patty loves to rock and roll,

A hot dog makes her lose control --

What a wild duet!

Still, they're cousins,

Identical cousins and you'll find,

hey laugh alike, they walk alike,

At times they even talk alike --

ou can lose your mind,

When cousins are two of a kind.

Donna
