To Whom It May Concern,
Please excuse my daughter, __________________, from her Blog for the last two weeks. She simply did not feel like doing it.
Thanks,
Mrs. Renouf
This kind of thing worked like magic over at the good old La Serna High Attendance Office, I am hoping you will all be just as forgiving as Mrs.Ohhh-What's-Her-Name (Roy will remember).
Besides my two week vacation, I have had much less to say as other family members have surpassed me in their blogging expertise.
Unless, of course, you like to hear about piles of laundry that reach 'high above the chimney tops' and how I'm wishing my messy house would 'melt away like lemon drops', then visit one of these sites instead: Laurie at http://themacisaacrootsandwingsreport.blogspot.com

I'll be back soon, but watch for upcoming blogs by Leslie, Sailor, and Reeve!
PS. Mom, I'm counting on you for some new posts as soon as you get back on your feet.

How about, please excuse ________ for being late this morning. We had family problems.
Remember those? Haha! Hey you changed up your music, I love it!
My laundry is in a terrible state as well. I like your note to excuse your absence from this blog. Mom was great about writing notes but sometimes mom could be too honest in her in notes to La Serna like "please excuse mary kate this morning. She overslept and was just having a horrible morning." Oh well, cant wait to see what's coming from yours and all the other new bloggers!
Hey for anybody interested, we changed our blog so that only invited readers can view it. We sent email invitations via google to all those that we knew were looking at our blog. If we have left anybody out or if you haven't seen it and want to email us at pa8175@aol.com.
Mary, I laughed at your comment.
Mallory once came home mad at me because I had written Please excuse Mallory Morningstar for being late.......and she, of course, didn't catch it until the attendance office pointed it out to her.
Don't you wish you could still get Mom to write excuses for you....in all areas of life.
"Dear Primary President,
Please excuse Leslie from finding subsitutes. She hates asking favors of people.
Thank You,
Mrs. Barbara Renouf

The phone number at the bottom was proof enough that it had really been written by your mother, and made it truly official!
Oh, the power of Mothers!
Dear Les,
Mallory Morningstar is a riot! I love it! If I was a pretty little horse(not just mare) I would want my name to be Mary Morningstar. The only problem is I certainly don't feel very starish in the morning. Oh well.
Dear Pretty Little Mare-y Morningstar,
Isn't that the best name? I want Mallory to have Morningstar on the license plates of her future car.
I want all my kids to have their names I really wanted to give them, but couldn't bring myself to name them because I was pregnant, kind, submissive, and marinating in estrogen for nine whole months, and was just plain old Not my usual, feisty self.
These are the names for their license plates that didn't quite make it on their birth certificates.
Jake=Santino (due to Mike &The Godfather
Jordy=Vito, of course, also from The Godfather
Holly=Golightly...no explanation needed.
Mallory=Morningstar (from Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk
Annie Laurie= Mattie Ross Renouf Montano...(which will never fit. (An all time Favorite, True Grit.)
and
Erin Leigh who was almost Christmas Morgan.
(Unsinkable Molly Brown)
Feel free to call them by their license plate/literary-movie names.
They'll answer to them all.
