I hated it. I could never quite get my ribbons in place and invariably got tangled up with the other girls' ribbons. <br /><br />So now I imagine the dogs, their leashes entangled. <br /><br />This might not be the point of your post, but it's my first thought on reading it along with my commiserations to you, still struggling with that endless exhaustion. <br /><br />Soon may it pass.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-71199877298340229952010-07-20T04:05:38.988-07:002010-07-20T04:05:38.988-07:00Dear Melissa, how good it always is to read your s...Dear Melissa, how good it always is to read your stories. You cover so much ground, open doors onto the past and the present. I love the image of you drumming with the other four; two men on a rock and three more on chairs; palms at the center, fingers towards the edges... Are you playing a bongo? I love the bongo. (And have you seen the film "The Visitors"? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGjjx3WMmSE). I do hope that when you go back next week, everyone will be there, ready to play again. <br />Tulip - Turnip. What a full and feisty character she must be! <br />Look after yourself. Enjoy your walks. Take your time.<br />Love, ClaireClaire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-29969833808942322202010-07-19T07:22:18.413-07:002010-07-19T07:22:18.413-07:00How precious your memories are!

That was a wonderful tale. I hope you find the Maypole. :-)<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-26619065965984744322010-07-19T06:28:57.847-07:002010-07-19T06:28:57.847-07:00Sforza!
