To a friend, visiting

25th August, 2009

Dear Houseguest,

The cats and dogs are permanent residents.

You are a visitor – one that we love very much, but it would not be wise to ask us to choose between you.

Enjoy your stay.

To a friend, deceased

Ma Chere,

Your husband is in town. Amiable as always. Still a friend to all.

But what do we talk of now that you're gone? The child's antics are dreary for the most part. Golf interests me not at all.

I miss you.

Bisous,
X

And So It Begins

Dear Pamela,

Here be the blog.

There is much to do. I am, first and foremost, in search of a photo/illustration.

The format is relaxed for the most part. Letters can be typed on to the blog as is being done here. Or letters can be created on stationery, photographed and then uploaded to the site.

Links to related sites, articles or items of interest will appear from time-to-time. Perhaps others in the house will sneak on to the computer and surprise me .

There are no rules. Whatever pleases me is allowed. It is the one place in my life that will not restrict, limit or censor -- and if it affords some amusement or pleasure to another, so much the better.

Along the way, it will, I hope, capture memories, good and bad, sarcastic and cheerful, wicked and humourous, mundane and delightful.

Yours Sincerely,
X
