The main problem I have with that whole thing is that it was embarrassing and humiliating for Diana. She was so young and so unprepared for any part of being a princess. <br />I don't know if I'll be making Dorothy Anne and the new one any clothes any time soon. I am happy with what they are wearing and playing doll dress-up isn't something I'm that interested in. But who knows?

However, I'm pretty sure that at this point, it is accept that it was indeed a real call between Charles and Camilla. But what do I know? <br />I guess I know you'd rather be a banana than a tampon. That seems a bit random but perhaps I'm just not making the connection.

Or the class could have a project to reach out to older people with no grandkids nearby and invite them to be honorary grandparents on the day.

They sort of feud with their across the street neighbors who are democrats and always have signs, two Beto signs currently. But instead of the expected Trump sign in the other yard, it was just a 'save America, vote Republican' sign. Trump's name was glaringly absent. Of course he isn't running for anything this time around but neither do they have an 'Abbott' sign (our gov).<br /><br />Glad you had a good time at grandparent's day.

And to think William is now carrying on in his father's footsteps w/his own extramarital affair. (I have friends in London who say it is the most open of secrets.) I think that made me sadder than anything; I remember him being such a comfort to his mother during during that mess. I wonder who will comfort Kate?
