Dina, I really liked your party. it was a very good idea that Elizabeth had. I imaging they got pretty tired of the routine they had each day for so long. Also, I'm hoping that Elizabeth has found her prince. Guess we shall see. Carrie, do I remember this Richard Beaumont from our Tea party, or am I getting all befuddled?

So suffice to say, Elizabeth gets her guy :) These would be the ancestors of some of my characters. But the feel of the story is very similar.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-67285477842692780442013-01-07T16:59:17.074-05:002013-01-07T16:59:17.074-05:00Bravo, Dina, your addition to the anthology is so ...Bravo, Dina, your addition to the anthology is so you, full of spirit and movement.Janet Grunsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635290708361600803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-6315257877451765952013-01-07T16:58:13.625-05:002013-01-07T16:58:13.625-05:00So glad Elizabeth's dream man came! :) I can j...So glad Elizabeth's dream man came! :) I can just imagine the energy level zinging through the fort now! :) What a great way to start her new year.
