Fabric shopping with Katie

[mapsedge]

Paid a visit to JoAnn Fabrics today, shopping for fabric for a client and for myself. I took Katie, who is every bit of five years old, with me so Michelle could have a nap as soon as the babe went down for his.

I've been hard pressed to find fabrics that work in my mind for the part I'll play at White Hart, and I was very pleased to see one I'd not noticed before that looked like it might work.

"Aw, man, that's gorgeous!"

I stepped away from the cart where Katie was riding, and grabbed a corner to examine the fabric more closely.

"Jeez Louise," I gushed, "probably can't use it because of the color, but I could find something to do with it. That combination of black and gold is just begging me to make it into something."

From behind me, a quiet voice, my daughter, grounding me in a way that only she can.

"Uh, dad?" she says, perfectly collected, "You need to get over yourself."

You betcha, I'd be happy to look it over. It looks like Bruce and I are coming through on a 3 day get-away for 'just the two of us' somewhere up that way this weekend..

I've IMd him to see if we can set aside a little bit to come and take care of that costume stuff but I think he's at lunch.

So that's a possibility...
