I love cats. Pukky had a beautiful life once she was in your care and you gave her so much love and companionship. This doesn't keep the tears away, but it was a very good thing nonetheless.<br /><br />What a thoughtful gift-giver you are! Mary is blessed to have you as her DIL.<br /><br />Your dress is very pretty and I hope ball will give you lots of pleasure and smiles.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-15146874078954675062012-03-08T21:48:21.876+01:002012-03-08T21:48:21.876+01:00Thank you, Canadian Chickadee!Thank you, Canadian Chickadee!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-86582078689798085512012-03-08T20:54:46.712+01:002012-03-08T20:54:46.712+01:00So sorry to hear about your cat.

I do find it hard to focus on work today, but my boss sent me a very kind email, telling me to take things slow today and hoping that my cat "arrived safely at the 'Angel Hotel' " (of course, this kindness made the tears flow again, but there you go).<br /><br />Tomorrow after work, RJ and I will go and buy a pair of proper dancing shoes for me (at a special shop); the ones I have been using until now are not quite good enough anymore. I shall wear them at the ball for the first time :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-66986629024868978052012-03-08T12:40:13.931+01:002012-03-08T12:40:13.931+01:00That package for Mary is beautiful!

You have had so many difficult issues to deal with recently that your reserves must be running low. It is good to have something positive to look forward to and we hope that you have a lovely time at the ball.<br /><br />The gifts for Mary look wonderful. We are sure that she will be delighted with them. As for the dress, absolutely fabulous. And, hussied up with the pearls, the evening bag and a splash of nail lacquer, you are bound to make heads turn.
