Just so you know… one daughter picked out the great cowboy boots when I was up in Montana - at Murdochs. Believe me, if you haven’t shopped at Murdochs, you should. The other daughter picked out the sexy shirt? blouse? top? at a little boutique in Sonoma.
Everything I know about fashion and makeup I’ve learned from my kids. If it was up to me I’d wear jeans and tee shirts or quite possibly a nun’s habit in order to avoid choosing clothes.
And no… this does not mean I’m back to blogging, just sharing on occasion. Besides, I want Tom Stronach to know I’m working on the big bum because Ishbel tops my list of most-admired women.


What would we do without our kids. Nice blouse and boots. Have fun.
Right, Stephanie. I’d be helpless! And I would be wearing either overalls or a nun’s habit.
WHAT!!!!!!!! That wasn’t a(nice boots) BLOG post. Are you just(nice blouse)toying with my emotions?(nice pic) You are such a tease Julia!(nice no blog)
Yeah, toying with you, Ray. But I did say stick around… I’ll be posting from time to time. And Jake will be getting his own page, plus I’ll have a recipe page, and who knows what else.
Alright Barrett I’ll hang because you know how I love some new recipes!
Well you just better, Mister Ray!
Your daughters are terrific personal shoppers, Julia! This is one of the top ten reasons we’re so lucky to have daughters. Molly has found more the outfits, shoes and jeans I love than I’ve ever found for myself. And now that Grace is almost 10, she is quick to chime in and point out clothes I just HAVE to have, but it’s an acquired taste and she hasn’t quite acquired it yet!
Oh they are, Marylin! And they learned none of it from me! My mom is just as bad - worse than I am when it comes to shopping and makeup. Funny how they come from our loins, ain’t it?
I love it! You look great.
Great top and boots. Our kids are far more daring than we are…
Smart. Sexy. Sassy.
Both the boots and the blouse, and you are all three..
Both the boots and the blouse look great on you too!
Thanks, Roberta. It’s taken me literally years to allow people to photograph me. I hate myself in pictures!
They are, Anny, that’s for sure! Thanks!
Thanks, Amber! Apparently getting sick constantly agrees with me!
COWBOY BOOTS AND A WEE PEACHY BUTT
