Hi Emily, Ann, Judi & Barbara
1. Backpacks do not work as a purse here. I have to swing it off my back to sit on the bus or subway then swing it back on when exiting. Not easy in very crowded spaces. Across the body purses or bags work best.
2. If you are native to SoCal, you may not be equipped for cold weather. Thank goodness for Emily's jacket, because it keeps me really warm. However, when all bundled & scarved up, it isn't easy to zip. I find I have to ask Alissa to "zipper" me up - just as her first graders at school do.
3. Using a Metro card is not as easy as it might look. First there are the gloves, the awkward getting it out of somewhere, & the sliding or inserting it . Alissa says this just sounds soooo dirty!!!! I usually let her hold mine & produce it for me as needed. She's such a good mom.
4. Then there is camping at her house. I swear the little room with the toilet looks like an outhouse! I managed to soak myself turning on the shower the first time - it is barely big enough to turn around. But it's free!!!!
That's all. Love to everyone,
the Pirate Mom
