Scratching Itches and Serving Dishes

Laurel had a bedroom in the very front of her house that was just itching to be something else.  So she scratched that itch by knocking out a wall and turning it into a dining room!  It opened up the whole flow of the house and now commands everyone’s attention with those bold navy stripes. Plus now she has a place to serve Thanksgiving dinner, since the house didn’t actually have a dining room to speak of before.

Speaking of  scratching itches, a couple weeks ago I was at a Manchester Orchestra concert with some friends and discovered I had, for unknown reasons, a retractable back scratcher in my purse.  We were cracking up about bringing it along to wave in the crowd, this tiny little hand on a stick, just waving around in the audience. I ended up leaving it in the car, which was a good thing, because someone else at the concert was wearing a giant unicorn mask, so that would have totally stole our thunder anyway.  It was a weird concert.
