For the service of rising before dawn the claimants shall receive a sunrise.

All chandeliers are worth coveting. Every bauble a dance of light. Much like these slices of a technicolor life. Thanks for this lovely listicle popsicle in the flavor of authenticity.

For the service of sharing vulnerable tales of infectious and sickness-prone offspring, consumer offers placating and hopefully not-condescending support from a location further down the parenting time-line that admires the claimant's efforts and provides assurances that the raising of said offspring becomes easier as time passes. Consumer also admits that adorability of offspring diminishes as each year continues and therefore encourages claimant to appreciate the each moment before them, followed by consumer looking away to not acknowledge laserbeams of hatred issued by claimant.

Read, understood, accepted, agreed to and enthusiastically endorsed, especially with stated adjustments and amendments as needed, to be determined (as always).

N.B.-just stumbled over disassembled shiny brass piano lamp set out for trip to “transfer station”...

Friends are laughing their ways up into their attics and offering great finds to support the grandson’s lamping habit. No green chandeliers yet.

I used my zestiest finger. It looks the same as my less zesty finger I'm afraid.

I LOVE THIS…and everything else your hilarious brain comes up with…but this time especially the butt pat, of which I receive when I have achieved greatness (not often, mind you!)
