   Lovely, Jess. As soon as I recover from the throes of raging envy from your last pics, you post new ones!
   
   You got room in your suitcase for a stow-away mother the next time?

   Click your OWN "pictures" to make them bigger! What do I look like? Your whoo-wer?
   
   Nice pix.
   
   Too bad you had to spoil it with you cheesy come-on.
   
   "Click them to make them bigger" indeed! Harrumph! Well, I never!

   @joy -- I can fit you in my suitcase, but you gotta pay the checked luggage fee for me. The airline fees are starting to drive me nuts. $7 for a "snack box" of a few grapes and crackers with fake cheese. Insanity! I should have just purchased some booze for that price.
   
   @ G -- I had to add that for certain members of my family who are not Blogger-savvy. Next time I will borrow your classic literary style and add a footnote humbly begging your pardon for my cheesy come-on. Deal?
