You'll have to post a picture if she agrees to decorate it. An elfin billboard with grapevine seems like an attractive idea, much better than the usual.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I can imagine that the first you read might be food!

You are so NOT lazy---just remember the frenzy of writing that was your last six months of 2008! Now it's maybe time to rest a bit?<BR/>Your new year's dinner sounds exquisitely yummy, as usual. And your guests, including Runway Baby, were a perfect group to help mark the beginning of a new year and era!<BR/>"Bardic posturings:" I know someone whoLaura Frankstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528540633399368216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-68414227885538962462009-01-11T23:31:00.000-05:002009-01-11T23:31:00.000-05:00Your menus sound so tasty.

And some wisp of wandering and wonderful poetry.<BR/>Thanks for the epiphany greetings; your daughter is indeed talented. We're still trying to get ours talked into painting a huge bold sort of Art Deco book sign for our shop. Curiously we have a sort of billboard at the edge of the grapevine.
