Rada and her grandmother went on a shopping spree this week. They purchased much more than I had requested. Besides a pair of warm slippers and winter nightgown, they came back with black patent leather Mary Janes, several different nighties in snazzy colors, and not just any old pair of slippers but Winnie the Pooh [...]
