by Leave a Comment

As I write this, Kitten, I sit at my desk… In front of a large picture window… fresh flowers in a crystal vase… a flickering candle… and the sounds of one helluva songbird {Miss Ella Fitzgerald} fill the air.  I tell you this for one simple reason: old-fashioned romance {the magically ridiculous i-am-oh-so-in-love-with-life kind} exists {even if you have to create it yourself}.
