So how was your holiday? I start out every entry after a holiday just like that. Dull huh? I do the perfunctory "how do you do" before launching into my own long-winded recitation.
We went up to Albuquerque on Saturday. My MIL was having an open house to celebrate closing of her old house and warming of her new house. It was also a celebration for two BIL birthdays and my niece Riley who is one year old.
When I come up, my SIL has a pile of garments set aside for my inspection or comment. She had a bathing suit from Land's End and wanted to know if it was defective and whether she could or should return it. The cups were lightly lined with a thin foam padding. When she washed it, the foam wadded up. This is definitely defective. It wasn't a matter of dry cleaning (it's a swimsuit!), it's that the foam padding either was not caught in the seaming so it'd stay in place or it was that the foam was too delicate and tore from it's mooring in the wash. Something you might want to keep in mind. I told her it'd be no problem to return it; that's the sort of defective that won't become apparent until it's washed (hint, hint).
