I was pleased to read that you do have a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers to break up the concreteness of NY.

You really painted a living picture of NYC in the summertime. I used to visit there often in the 4 years I lived outside of Philadelphia, and stayed with a friend in Manhatan - talk about feeling like a country mouse!<BR/>Your experience at the conference centre sounds draining. I could feel your relief to come to your red door and enter your sanctuary.<BR/>Come on over for a drive in the cool air any evening!<BR/>xoxoxoPondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-84885046117131023432007-06-02T13:20:00.000-07:002007-06-02T13:20:00.000-07:00Good evening Francis,What a treat, to be able to c...Good evening Francis,<BR/>What a treat, to be able to choose what range of clothing to wear from your new season's collection.<BR/>Song - fish are jumping, and the cotton is high, great song, I love those lyrics.

Hopefully you will be able to have extra staff on duty, enabling you to have some more time for yourself.<BR/>Warm Wishes.<BR/>Camilla.xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-68823902566747482342007-06-02T12:32:00.000-07:002007-06-02T12:32:00.000-07:00New York is a place I would love to visit some day...New York is a place I would love to visit some day - you paint such an evocative picture of it. <BR/>And what a great perk to be able to choose clothes from the new season's collection!LITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-89831852067259807742007-06-02T09:49:00.000-07:002007-06-02T09:49:00.000-07:00I don't think I could live your life.

Summertime, the song. I have been trying recently to add it to my playlist but it's not available on the Project Playlist site. I love the words, they always run through my head too.<BR/>I sneaked a look at your company website and loved what I saw. Imagine being able to choose clothes to wear for free, wow. What did you choose?<BR/>I hope your wish for more staff is granted and you will not have to work so much overtime.<BR/>Thanks for calling by the diary,<BR/>CaitxCait O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569760764766505179noreply@blogger.com
