Rory Update #7

Rory gave Colleen a hickey!

For halloween, Rory is going out as a Dalmation. Colleen found some material at Value Village and she and Carlene sewed a little toque* with ears, and Colleen made a little tail. She looked so cute, and was the hit of the Tuesday drop in at the health clinic. Lots of pumpkins, two rabbits, a garden gnome and several lady bugs were seen.

I was told at the french fry shop (yes, we have a shop dedicated to french fries. It is on the same block as the roasted chicken shop, and across the street from the ravioli shop, and the sausage shop, and the coffee roaster shop...very old worlde!). Back to the story -- at the french fry shop, the cashier told me her husband would NEVER carry their daughter in a baby carrier. Not masculine enough for him. At least the carrier is a manly steel blue. At the sausage shop, however, the owner (guy) told me he loves to snuggle with his 8 month old.

*Colleen keeps telling me "It's not a toque! The hats she wears are not toques." APPARENTLY, toques are a special hat for Canadians. Then she turned to Rory and said "We've got to get you a toque!"
