Faux (pas?)

Did something very unexpected and brought some cheap fake flowers from an op shop.  I used to cringe/laugh at fake flowers but they do brighten the room up. And for $2.75 it's not an expensive faux pas.

Betsey is now home and doing OK.  However, that must have been one of the most expensive attempts at weight loss ever.  The only thing that is considerably lighter is my purse!
