Lookin' Sharp

During our stay at the Serena, it became clear that Ryder really enjoyed hanging out in the front of the hotel. The cars coming and going, the fountain, and especially the door guys. Ronnie became a good friend of Ryder's - lots of hugs every time they saw each other, even still. I had a crazy idea and I told Ronnie about it one morning. Wouldn't it be great if Ryder had one of the uniforms that the door guys wear? That would be awesome! Well, as luck would have it, Ronnie said his Mom was a seamstress and she could easily make him on of their suits with the long jacket, vest, tie, the whole nine (I'm paraphrasing.) I said hey, if she has the time, I'll gladly pay for her time and materials - a no-brainer. We visited his house and met his Mom, took measurements, then waited. About 2 weeks later, she had it finished.

Only O.J.'s glove fit better.

It's a little snug in the vest, but that is the area with the widest girth, as we all know. Ryder donned the suit and we hit the Serena this past week. Let's just say, it went over pretty well.

Classic. He felt pretty at home in his new duds, as you can tell.

Patrolling the hallways...

...visiting old friends at the restaurant...

...and of course having some time with Ronnie. He just didn't want it to end!

Time for nap, but maybe we'll hit a runway show on the way home.
