My Friends ~ My Sparkling Jewels! Each is one of my online treasures! ~ TO YOU ~ I hope you've come to share - - even to stare at and admire my jewels! This was the original occasion which inspired the Jewel Box collection! Capri & Jim were to be in Dallas, so she extended an invitation and gathered a few of us in the area to join them for breakfast at their hotel as they were passing through Dallas that June day! Up till then, I was learning and my pages were merely self-expression! Now it is my pleasure to also express my affection in this way for wonderful friends I meet online! Thank you all! Please enjoy meeting them too - right here in my Jewel Box! On this summer morn in 1999, we shared happy moments! Joan (Capri), Affire, Joan's Jim, my George. . . Joan & Affire. . . George, Nellita, Joan & Affire. . . Nellita & Joan. . . That very evening - what fun is was to visit online in the chatroom after having met in person earlier! It was a little longer before I saw Capri, because they went on to Oklahoma after our breakfast together. But it really does "change things" when you meet online after meeting in person! Joan arranges many gatherings -from beach picnics in her Florida area to get-togethers in various American cities, as well as abroad! ...a small Florida gathering of some very dear people... Joan, Nana & Charlie, Vy & Sarg, Sonny & Kaye (Roses) A word of remembrance for Sonny and Sarg - both gone on to the other side. Since the time of these moments, I've met many online friends - some - several times. Many of these delightful occasions are featured in my website, Where there are countless photos of people you might know - in those pages. Future get-togethers are being planned all along, as well!
