It's the Friday before Independence Day. My mother was born on July 6th, two days after she was due. If she'd been born on July 4th, her father would have named her Independence - he was a very patriotic American Vice Consul, apparently. She lucked out and got away with Phyllis instead (after her mother). I don't think I've met anyone with Independence as a first name - I wonder if that would be considered gender neutral?
To celebrate this year, I went to the Tucson Mall, bought new shoes and got my hair done.










Excellent cut, gladiatrix! Great with the Gaga glasses.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found such great shoes.
