RE: re nursery interview apparel

Kitty - most wonderful news indeed and these are obviously smart people
to not let a jewel like you get away! I knew you could do it! Bean boots
(LL Bean) would probably be great for that kind of environment. I always
wear mine in cold or damp weather. Good ankle support for those who need
it too. Used to ice skate as a kid so I have strong ankles thank
goodness. Ditto on the glove suggestion too. I am so perfectly TICKLED
for you darlin'!! How great. You will be wonderful I just know it!
