You old softie Blatham flowers and chocolate would have been sufficient. Did all those years at lumberjack camp ( oops sorry tricky use of nomenclature could be miisconstrued) lead to you over compensating as an adult in terms of magnificent benevolence or are you just happy to see us ?
Thanks for the Val's blatham.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL.
<shniff> That's all so beautiful.
Lola is breathless and momentarily speechless.........sigh.....sigh....The valentines are beautiful, I agree with Jes. Thank you B. Kiss.
HIAMA,
Happy Valentine's Day to you too. Will you have a glass of champagne with me?
I believe I'll wear one of those baubles Blatham sent. I'll wear the pink heart "small breakaway" on a small gold chain around my neck. Yes, it looks very nice with my slinky black dress. How do I look, Blatham? Will you take me out tonight? How about dinner at Balthazar in Soho on, is it Spring (Street)? I think it is. Or the Atlantic Grill on third Ave.? And drinks later at a Jazz club.........

Blatham is Canada P.Oed with the US due to free trade over trees and is that why you are bombarding us with your images: is there a secret covert message somewhere.

Have you given up the spoken written language of the cyberworld for good?
BTW your first presentation of Lola's Apartments on this thread was excellent.

I'll take a galss of the Bollinger with you Lola, thank you so much. Please allow me to thank our dear friend Blatham for his valentine extravaganza.
Bit quite in here tonight, lets put some music on and have a good old fashioned knees up
Sounds good to me HIAMA. And hi to Firstthought.
do they still have Jazz clubs that will allow black silk stockings? Hmmmm. no panty hose then.....
Black silk stockings (not panty hose) are not only allowed, but preferred in every jazz club I've ever visited. Would you like to borrow a pair, Letty? Or do you have your own? Have fun tonight all on Valentine's Day.
Lola, how about no hose at all? Great Jazz tune: No moon at all, up above. This was not the night they told me of...just to think I fell in love when there's no moon at all. (forgot the rest of it)
Hey, I don't recall anyone wearing hose at La Boheme in the village.
Well I did. And everyone loved um. They're only for effect. And they create a great effect. There's more than one way to go basic.
Hi firstthought nice to see you
Hiama counts the valentine cards and there are excatly 89, most of them were to our lovely ladies, Lola, Jespah, Stradee, letty, dlowan, diane, peace and love, ehbeth if I've forgotten anyone sorry. Look there's one for me.....
Oh no its for Lightwizard ! oh well maybe next year. I can't understand it I know I posted at least 10 to myself-oops was I talking out loud then. Its Ok there's no one here, firstthought just left so I'm alone. Calm down you idiot no one noticed.
burbon and branch water, Lola. Now that's basic black!
Thanks, hiama. Your heart is in the right place.
No Letty thats the hearth this is my heart here-feel it goes bumtity bum titty bum titty bum titty bum titty bum titty bum-goodness gracious me.
Would you care for a dance ?
hiama,
Should you have said: "rump titty rump titty rump rump rump" I would have thought that an excerpt from the William Tell Overture.

Keep that song in your heart the next time you see a re-run of The Lone Ranger.
Now about that dance; cheek to cheek or in the dark?
Cobalt appears in the Salon, breathless...."Hey, I luuuuuvvv the Valentines' Mr. B!"
Cobalt soooooooo wishes she could stay for more shopping with Lola and Diane, but like the "White Rabbit", she's checking her watch and popping back into a hole somewheres!
Danon5 and Lola will be hopefully happy to get a call from Garcia this afternoon, as Cobalt is still dorking around in Dallas, trying to tie up "loose ends". And, there are other things she wishes to tie up, but shhhhhhh, no negative talkin' in this Salon, forsooth!
Cobalt also wishes she was wearing black silk stockings at present rather than khaki ( so very practical, doncha know). But, on and upward, or forward, or summat like dat. She's really happy happy happy today to feel a surge of pride and hope with the global peace rallies. Yeah, power to the people of the world! Love to all and seeya Sunday or Monday.
Peace&Love and Jack (super Border Collie) come running into Lola's house. Jack jumps over the coffee table, weaves his way through the row of chairs, tunnels under the side table and climbs up and down the back of the sofa.
"Oh, sorry Lola. Jack and I have been practicing our Agility training. We watched the AKC Agility show on The Animal Planet and we're all excited about getting out and doing some courses ourselves."
PaL and Jack run back through the obstacles, in the opposite direction, and finally settle into the big comfy chair by the fireplace.
"hiama, thank you for remembering me in your Valentine wishes. Love to you, too!"
Oh no,n I missed Valentine's Day!! It was awful, locked in the dressing room at Saks. Whew--that was traumatic. I love shopping, but the going home and trying things on is the best part.
Now if you don't mind, I'll have some champagne, some of the chocolates and a cuddle with Jack the Super Border Collie.
Letty, it's so good to see you!! It will be even better when I really get to see you again at Florida gathering.
No Moon at All and Dancing Cheek to Cheek, I can't believe I missed it all. Anymore dancing going on? Music? Letty, will you sing?
I'm a little late Diane, I had to go home to fix a fuse.
Ok the Charleston it is, we've just missed the Dance Flurry Festival, if we practise maybe we can go next year.
I apologise now if I step on your toes !
Maestro music please....
