Me in an apron.
It's a funny thing getting older, I've discovered I like aprons. Primarily because I am a mess and they keep me from ruining my clothes, but also some of them are kind of cute, and there is something about putting one on, something ritual, routine, and yet costome-y about it, my domestic cape, that is warm and encouraging, while I am certainly no super mom, no super cook, still I find a charm in wearing one, which is quite the opposite of the effect I would have expected.

There is of course more going on in my life then wearing an arpon, but this is it for the time I have at the moment. I hope to be back Monday to discuss the writing conference. Happy almost Easter.

Hey, look at you there in an apron!

My wife bought me an apron for when I grill. It has Mickey Mouse and my name embroidered on it. I love it!

Aprons are a godsend - especially if I think how messy mine gets!

Paul,

Your apron sounds cute.
Sad to say I often wear mine now when eating grapefruit, not that I am a messy person or anything; well yeah I am.


Vanilla,

They really are. I thought them old fashioned and old; but they are practical in the best way, protecting my clothes from me, and come in a variety of styles and colors. The only thing is, I do worry about getting my apron too messy. :)
