Well now, are we refreshed and rested?

Now that we have labor day under our belts, and we have returned to our home in Shaker Heights,  I am happy to announce that it is officially the fall wardrobe season!

Throughout Shaker Heights today, hundreds of housewives are watching their maids pack away the summer outfits and lug heavy – oh so heavy trunks down from the third floor storage rooms.  Each trunk, I can assure you, is carefully packed with favorite timeless pieces of attire, and a healthy sampling of items bought at finer stores last January when the end of the season sales were in full blast.  

We women of Shaker Heights maybe comfortably well off, but we are not foolish with our husband’s salaries – that is the way of Beachwood, not Shaker households.

Of course there are those who may be surprised by what they find in their closets. 

If you at the type of woman who is like Bonita Dixon, or Phyllis Stein, well then, you’ll insist on wearing white after Labor Day.  And that is quite alright, as it gives the Tuesday Women’s Bridge Club that meets at Madeline Smythe-Carothers’ home something to gossip about.

Edwin has returned to his office for the fall season of litigation and divorces.  After the horrible incident at Melissa and Jonathan’s home, work will do him some good.  I’ve tried to make Edwin see the brights side of the incident by treating it as a very deep chemical peel. 

Enough about suffering.  How can one be pained with the possibility that one’s husband may develop all manner of skin ailments when we are the threshold of the coming Cleveland Symphony season?

Yes, all good this come in fall.
