-Luckily that’s getting better.
-Dandy’s new thing is to completely push everyone to the edge of reason.

-Sophie is in “wander” mode, which means that at least three times a day I’m out on the porch hollering for her to at least yell back her location.

I had never heard a hose (as in water hose, as in the thing you keep out in the garden) called a “hose pipe” before I met Donald. Now here you are using that word. His mom was from Chester/Great Falls area, so I am figuring maybe it’s an upstate thing? Down in the lowcountry where I’m from, we always just called it a hose.
PS. Great news on Sophie’s schooling!! I know you must be excited.

🙂 I think it might be an Upstate thing. Everyone around here calls it a “hose pipe”.
You should hear Xander’s Southern drawl! Everytime I ask him to explain something he starts with a drawn out “Well….” which sounds more like “whale” everytime! The more drawn out it is the more colorful the explanation (as a general rule!).
