My only question: if it turns out that this idea repels moose, can I tell people you shared it here first? You will probably have a statue erected at the botanical garden and a feast day proclaimed. No moose in the garden=my heroine!<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-91135852445832709192012-01-10T14:41:14.337-08:002012-01-10T14:41:14.337-08:00@LonaOh, how could I have forgotten the flannel op...@<a href="#c4894547604777709162" rel="nofollow">Lona</a>Oh, how could I have forgotten the flannel option!?

Anyway, this song is emanating through my mind as I read your requiem for a beloved pink bathrobe. At least you didn't mention the problem I have with mine: I bought it circa 1990 back when the belts actually served to hide my youthful circumference. Not so now! Bring on the sweatpants. :) <br /><br />Great post, Christine. I dare you to post a photograph of you in your replacement-robe! :)GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-51492324666389234922012-01-10T12:42:58.496-08:002012-01-10T12:42:58.496-08:00Perhaps "Pinkie"is a perfect subject for...Perhaps "Pinkie"is a perfect subject for a garden blog. If you put it on a scarecrow in the garden and fill the pockets with dirt, you could plant flowers in them. Toast crumbs make perfect fertilizer.

Maybe not chasing bears though.LOL! I feel the same way about my flannel PJ's. They are devoid of color now from so many washings and bare in places we won't mention.

Mine is warm and fuzzy and my favorite all-day wear for the winter. And I do take my daily walk in it ... around the garden that is (very early in the morning, before the school buses go through - don't want to scare any children). Must admit I didn't chase any bears in it yet. I will be heart-broken when I have to replace it.

And I could handle a mere two years of wear if I get to be dear Ms. Loy.<br /><br />Of course any excuse to go shopping is a good excuse. Just steer clear of the polyester.<br /><br />I don't know if pinkie will have a photo on the blog. It would require washing first, so as not to cause readers to gag, and that requires effort.

I got the old one when she was given a new replacement of the same design. We both agree that when new and fully plush it is too warm and bulky to really be practical, but I guess she has higher standards than I and finds the old one too pathetic to even wear around the house.<br /><br />Personally, I love the plastic formulation: I can spill pretty much anything on it and it washes right out.<br /><br />I'm currently debating whether it would be too embarrassing to bring with me to the hospital when I have children. On one hand, it's truly, truly terrible. On the other hand it's impressively more functional than any of the other bathrobes I've tried...and I know if I get unmentionable things on it they will wash right out.plantingoakshttp://plantingoaks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-48509620716206204912012-01-09T04:23:47.125-08:002012-01-09T04:23:47.125-08:00I am laughing.

What makes this so funny is that I have done most all you have mentioned, except chase bears away, in my robe. I stroll around the garden EARLY in the morning too. When it isn't so cold of course. I don't go any further than the fence line in my robe.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-45833996105645532102012-01-09T02:23:07.576-08:002012-01-09T02:23:07.576-08:00Chasing bears sounds surreal to me who only has to...Chasing bears sounds surreal to me who only has to chase cats from the garden!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
