"Bye bye, sweetheart."
Dale:
Not unusual words around the Price household. But they are unusual coming from Madeleine. Or at least they were....
As I was leaving to go to the store Monday, she piped up with that show-stopper. It's nice to know that imitating her mom brings out such pleasantries.
Unfortunately, she also imitates her dad: "Back off, loser!" Clear as a bell.
Really.
It's a phrase I employed over vacation to keep our excitable bird-dog/mutt/auxilliary pet from making a break for it every time I opened the sliding door at the cabin. At least she's nice when she pets "loser." Fortunately, it sounds a lot like "Lucy" (auxilliary pet's actual tag), and she's reverted to calling the dog by her proper name.
The bathroom is superb, BTW. I love it. The tile floor, with its 12" white squares, is the best part (to me). It makes it look bigger, even though we have no more room (the brother in law measured). The steel bathtub shell (as opposed to the previous fiberglass cover) is another favorite. Over all, a fine fine job. If you need any tile/marble work done in the metro Detroit area, drop me a line and I'll give you the number.
