More Elena--I can't help myself!

"This carousel is a hundred years old," I told her.

"That's even more older than you and Nana," she said. 

I don't advertise on this blog, but I have a to put in a good word for my new mattress.  When I swapped my queen for a full-sized bed, I needed a smaller mattress.  I did my research, tried them all, and finally decided to buy this $200 bed-in-a-box from Amazon by Olee.  It came rolled up and tightly wrapped.  I saved the opening and expansion for Elena and Kate to share--because Kate wants one too. The reviews on Amazon were impressive, and I talked to my friend Janet O who knows all about things, and she said she has them on all her beds.

So far, I'd have to say that it's the best mattress I've ever tried--pure memory foam with a gel layer.  Elena and Kate broke it in, Elena a bit more vigorously with lots of jumps!

We met Pam for dinner at Blanco Cafe, then we drove Elena home around dark.  Pam said, "You sure do have a good vocabulary, Elena," and Elena said, "Thank you very much."

Fiesta starts tomorrow, and all us Texas birds are happy!
