Bloomers

We are trying to introduce a little color into our wedding costumes. Somehow we both purchased exactly the same color outfits. Call it champagne or ivory or cream, but it is the same -- and a tad bland.

I've been looking up wedding leis to do the job. Kelley would look pretty in a petal necklace. My nickname for her is "delicate flower." That seems pretty queer (paging Georgia O'Keefe) until you find out why.

KQ screams at mice. Her ego is easily bruised. A sinus headache slays her. Commercials featuring grandmothers make her cry. She can only be wooed with soft, kind words and tender hands. Cuddling is her hobby. She likes it when you rub her back in circles. Yes, she is a delicate flower. I am her constant gardener.
