It is a thing of wonder to me because before my blog I always distrusted the internet and now it has all my closests friends. Well life goes in strange ways.

Oh, Sparkle, you are so right about being on a blog. I consider myself a blabber mouth to someone I really like, but in the world I have few very close friends…….but here I have more and they are terribly special to me. Whenever I think of the times I saw your name on Shadowlands and never came to visit. Well I could give me a kick because we do have much in common and you do understand me so well. But at least we have made it to get to know each other. And I know that if we do meet we don’t have to waste that time telling each other our story. We can just go on from where we are. I don’t think that people are that much different in real life as they are in cyberspace. Well sure, some can be making it all up, but I can’t believe thatthere are many like that!!
Thanks for all your care and words Sparkle. My best to you. Frank

What an wonderful honor, and I think the white long scarf to the knees, and the red silk bow tie is…in a word…stunning! Don’t we all look nice? (Grin.)

Isn’t it amazing that somewhere out there in the cyber world, we find friends that truly understand? In some respects they become truer than our “close by” friends, as they know much more about us, from reading our blogs. I know I am a great deal more transparent inmy blogs, than I could ever be face to face.

Through all the journeys we read about, we learn so much, and grow, and realize that we need each other.

Thanks to all for a lovely evening!

Lynda, it is easy for me to write the truth…….I only said what was true.

Yes, I noticed the first flower………gotta check out if there is another.

Don’t worry if you fall behind in posting, I have and I find out everyone is still there–like you!!
Hugs, Frank

Frank, I had no idea…THANK YOU!! I’m sorry I haven’t gotten over here as often as I would like. I’ve missed reading your posts. Life is so rude for getting in the way of what I’d rather be doing.

Truly, I am touched by your words and so very honored by your description of me. It is sometimes difficult to see myself the way others see me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a mirror that I always enjoy looking into.

I have started posting some photos on my blog again and hope you’ll stop by when you feel up to it. It’s about time for me to get out and take some more, but I’m having fun with the creative side of things right now! Let me know what you think.

I wanna, wanna get in a tuxedo with a faile lapel, a white silk hankie, an English silk and cotton dress shirt, my jade studs and cuff links, my patent leather handmade slippers from Brussels, a white long scarf to the knees and a red silk bow tie…….ah yes and a little hair on top of my head, a very tight girdle and we are off to an evening of glamor. I really would like to stop in New York for a Cappucino and pastry after dinner, let’s see in this really wonderful restaurant for dinner in Acapulco. Now my only problem is getting the plane to take us!!! Well maybe it could be a little simpler like half way between your house and mine or more your way if they is a great place or more my way so then we have to go to Chicago. Boy do I know places to go!!

Enough, Enough, Enough!!!!!! Yes, buying clothes is fun.

But, as you all say, knowing each other is better!!

Frank,
I didn’t know why I went shopping today, that is, until you directed me to this post…now I know. I needed to look stunning because of the awards banquet…*smile*

(I really did go shopping today and I wanted dresses and skirts, plus I found some fabulous boots that will look great with the other things I found… it is the first time that I have gone shopping for me in years…And I would love to have this fantasy occasion become reality. I miss dressing up.)

I am humbled and amazed to be the company of the Frank E. Bell Award recipients. I admire each one for their talents, especially, yours my friend.

But, like Linda of Crone and Bear It, for me, the greatest of all awards is presented by the frienships and community that has developed across oceans, miles, time zones and diversites…I truly don’t know if I would survive my life if not for you all…

Thanks, Frank…again and again. Thank You…

They like me…they really like me…! Applause, etc. Frank, thank you so much for this wonderful award. I’m so blessed to have amazing friends such as Shadowlands and yourself in this online world. You touched my heart often as I read about Momma and it just amazes me that lil ole me gave you something to smile about. May we all find a way to smile in the future regardless of what is placed in our paths. I enjoyed getting all tarted up for the awards dinner – the food was simply divine and the company fabulous! Hugs, Linda
