Chatty Cathy and Robot Commando are at the top of the list Sally and Bobby wrote out for Santa this year. Of course, their hankering is due to commercials they see on TV. Almost everyone has a television set these days. I'm glad my husband picked a business with so much potential!

- Welcome, neighbor. Make yourself comfortable. I don't usually like to talk about myself, but since you asked. I wasn't always a happy homemaker. I was a fashion model until I met my first husband Don on a photo shoot. He was the copywriter on an ad for a Russian Blue Fox coat I was modeling. After the shoot, he saw I didn't want to give the coat back. He asked me out. I said no. Three weeks later, the coat arrived at my apartment and soon I was married and expecting our first child, Sally. Then Bobby came along. We moved to the suburbs, for the sake of the kids. Another boy Gene came along and life got even more complicated. I'm now married to Henry who's been in New York State politics forever and is now running for office. We have a beautiful house in Rye, which I've decorated in the latest 1960s fashions. I couldn't be happier. I guess you could say my life is just about perfect.
