Immediately after the ball, Franz L (and my other "guys" whisked me off to the airport where we bid each other a fond "adieu"....and I flew off to MA to attend KJ's Third Annual "YART" Fair! I wasn't on-line all week....and only learned that (GASP) I was a winner - when Suki told me! (She was at "YART" too!) I feel so honoured to have won that beautiful Hummingbird. They mean a lot to me....my Mum adored them and whenever I see one, I feel she is sending me her love and still looking after me. (She has been dead for 27 years.)<br /><br />Thank you so much! Now, I will think of you, my wonderful friend and hostess extraordinaire...when I look at hunmmingbirds!<br /><br />The Ball was EVERTHING (and more) than "my group" imagined.... the food, the drink, the clothes, the dancing. the Music.... my poor feet though.... those Jimmy Choos came off after an hour.....and I just danced barefoot! It was a magical (in every sense) evening and morning...... I am already looking forward to next year!<br /><br />My e-mail is: Lilacrobin@att.net.<br /><br />Thank you, dear Willow - for everything!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />♥ Robin ♥Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247046205493711677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-34430486161133398272010-10-03T15:43:26.206-04:002010-10-03T15:43:26.206-04:00I think I have finally recovered enough from the b...I think I have finally recovered enough from the ball to ease my way back into things.
