Animal Wednesday....sort of

Hello All!  Many of you know that this past weekend, I flew South to "La-La Land" to meet a dear friend. We had a wild and whirlwind two days....and soon, there will be many photos to share. Pictured above is the most gorgeous "Lab Bag" from Marja (whom some of you know).  Marja gave this to Marianne who brought it all the way from Holland for me. I miss my Chocolate Lab, Bofie, so much (he lives in NY with my Ex) and now, I will always have Bofie with me. Hence, my "Animal" Wednesday post!  A-ha-ha!

I cried when I opened the package......  and then, I promptly switched purses so I could wear it!  THANK YOU, Marja, mein Zuster!

I had to include one photo of Marianne and Moi.....  just one....for now.  Marianne had a LONG way to fly home - and is currently just a bit under the weather.  But we will share the many, many photos we took with you all soon!

As those of you who have met another "Blogging Family Member" in person know...it is a wonderful, special little "miracle"....  you meet - and you are both totally at ease... like you have known each other for years!  What can I say about Marianne that you all don't already know!  Lovely, charming, funny, and oh-so wise.  She is a treasure!

Please notice we are BOTH wearing lilac!  This is what we wore the first day when we met - and we didn't plan it!  Also notice I am "tan"!  Completely fake - as the sun "hates' me....but I wanted a "California Glow"!  Marianne's tan is completely real - she has that wonderful skin that turns golden under the sun!

I must dash....back to the Opera and another rehearsal....  but, the "Continuing Adventures of Marianne, Robin (and one other "mysterious" lady) in La-La-Land" will be continued soon!

HAW!

Love,

♥ Robin ♥

    Sound like you had a lovely time, and the handbag is the BEST! (I tend to use truckers wallets so I don't wander off and leave important things....imagine that! LOL!!!)
    Here's to more good times, lilac clothing, and fancy purses!

    XXOO~~

    Hi Robin! That purse is adorable. I bet people comment on the cute labs everywhere you go (a good icebreaker!:). You look like two peas in a pod, sitting there in your lilac shirts. Two gorgeous and sweet ladies out on the town. I wanna be there - boo hoo hoo! haha! I'm glad you had a good time together. Batteries recharged and into the breach! :)) xox Pam

    Mar.... I can't think of anything better than for 4 Wein-Schwestern to meet and celebrate with "Dragon Wine"!

    Ooh-la-la...Monsieur B "dating" a "Prinzessin".... romance is in the air!

    Love to you and a Big Wet One to Mr. B!

    Hi Teri... it was fabulous! We had hoped Marianne would be routed to SF...but when she said LA....it was just as good! (And the weather was better as SF was raining! Not that would have stopped us from having fun!)

    Hugs,

    ♥ Robin ♥
