Actually, Mary, at the last chanty party I bought a new hat! It's clean and white and completely acceptable in all venues and social gatherings. Of course, I refuse to wear it until it has some break in time. I have to tread on it for a while and the cat has to add her contribution.

For the wedding I will break from my traditional garb of jeans and Tee-shirt and wear a shirt with buttons. Rebecca says she may wear a dress.

Charley, you can keep your collection of sqigglies! I don't need to increase my ownership of material objects just before my move to Europe.
