I am glad she has gone back to school but I think perhaps an eye patch might have helped? Sorry, off on one of my own now. FIL just had a cataract operation so eyepatches big up here.

Please send best wishes to brave R8 from NYC. Hoping that her classmates also realized any of them might have had the same thing happen.<br /><br />I love that idea of ice cream and H Potter! The image of the dogs wanting to do their playful parts with the carefully chosen sticks is so vivid.<br /><br />Your hawthorne photos, up and down, are beautiful. I could see a painting derive from either of them.<br /><br />It is so very cold here...after a mild early winter, we've now had three days below the freezing point...keeps us moving briskly and planning outdoor excursions involving longish walks.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-36219073018288315222012-01-17T00:03:13.989+00:002012-01-17T00:03:13.989+00:00Yes hasn't it been a glorious day.

I'm surprised she didn't need a sling too.<br /><br />My sister used to lure unwilling children - well, the boys - new to 'big school', into her drama class by starting the year with a make up lesson - everyone went home with a black eye to be proud of. Worked a treat every time!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-42794066110516745422012-01-16T14:02:00.775+00:002012-01-16T14:02:00.775+00:00Beautiful post, Mags and funny too.
