Yes, my cast is hot-pink... and looks so much nicer than it feels. I think they might re-do it tomorrow. Hmmmm... maybe I&#39;ll get them to use pink and red strips! I&#39;m into that combo at the moment!!

Just knew in time you would find a quiet moment to share. As usual...with grace &amp; style.<br /><br />PINK? Wow! I would have imagined Ikat. Do you have Sharpies? There ya go!<br /><br />My mom has that china. Like I said, you have great style!<br /><br />I&#39;m always here friend.<br />xoLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13784837037604401287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995565869399302689.post-31698311143473066082011-11-26T14:36:19.451-05:002011-11-26T14:36:19.451-05:00Stacey Q! Thanks for keeping me informed and entertained with your fantastic blogging each morning! And, for your dear friendship. We will meet and have a drink one of these days... soon! ox<br /><br />Tiffany, Yes! Sometimes take-out works out best, indeed!! ; )<br /><br />Diane, Your chat with Bob Garcia gave me the inspiration and the thread I was looking for to talk about my recent months. Mr. Garcia is a gem of information. I enjoy your writing tremendously and appreciate the sentiment of your note. Thank you so much!<br /><br />Deb my dear, you have been a great support to me in the midst of all of your own tremendous life changes. As you know, I had been trying to find a way to talk about my divorce. It&#39;s just too huge not to mention on a blog of one&#39;s own. But now it&#39;s done. Thinking of you as your family gets ready for tonight&#39;s tribute to your father. Love to you and thanks TONS dear. oxo<br /><br />Patricia [PVE], I adore that you mention &quot;trust your steps&quot; because ultimately, that&#39;s what it&#39;s all about. Thank you SO much for your note! ox<br /><br />Patricia [Mrs. B], I&#39;m humbled by your note. But I have seen you handle change in the most gracious ways. And, I just have to say again that I&#39;m blown away by your dining room!! You &quot;get&quot; the Garcia philosophy! ; )<br /><br />Patricia [Gaye] p.g.t - I think &#39;cracker jack chef&#39; is one of the most hysterical descriptions of Billy. And, your GranMa was right! Your summary of Bob Garcia&#39;s philosophy is right-on in EVERY way. Your charming card just arrived. I love it! Thank you. The most fantastic Little Augury will keep me in good company while I&#39;m living in hot-pink castville! oxoMy Dog-Eared Pageshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02939044939925149444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995565869399302689.post-31125650669779434982011-11-25T17:01:44.147-05:002011-11-25T17:01:44.147-05:00Since Billy is a cracker jack chef, can&#39;t imagine what he is whipping up in the kitchen for your table. Always set a pretty table-that&#39;s what my GranMa who lived alone for over 40 years after her husband past away- and she really did. I tried to follow her lead when I lived alone and did so for myself. You are off to a beautiful start-except for the caste thing.That philosophy of Bob Garcia&#39;s allows us to be surrounded by the things we love and not the things we think we should-as in Life, recognizing what these things are is a challenge and a gift. xo to you.
