What a shame its saucer was seen and missed!<BR/><BR/>Its such a pleasure to find something just perfect like that. Once bought a painting for LL that was just her style. Didn't get framed until just after her birthday so snuck it home one day and hung it up. Took her preceisely half a second to notice it, was thrilled, them worried that it was too perfect and matched the colouration of the rug, and worried people would think she was a person who matched her artwork to her furniture, which just wouldn't do. So it lives in another room, but she still loved it.<BR/><BR/>That just feels good deoesn't it?The Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052411992134880131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-22941697034068589252007-09-07T10:25:00.000+01:002007-09-07T10:25:00.000+01:00I bet you're bloody careful when you wash that one...I bet you're bloody careful when you wash that one up.badgerdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275758525851693777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-23821397575807627802007-09-06T23:40:00.000+01:002007-09-06T23:40:00.000+01:00Isn't it fabulous when you manage to find the perf...Isn't it fabulous when you manage to find the perfect present?

Her tears and joy at the unexpected present were wonderful. Then 15 years later I found a standard poodle litter, had her pick her choice of pup and bought it for her. More tears, more gratitude. Just seeing her so delighted and surprised was present enough. Bet you felt the same way when you gave Sage his coffee cup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-82835862309797782912007-09-06T20:25:00.000+01:002007-09-06T20:25:00.000+01:00Thank you Mike.
