Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Arrived safely and Piper was happy to see me! :).....as I was her and her parents!

[HiJinx]

Good to hear you made it, LUV.
Enjoy your weekend with Piper!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my gosh, u...that was SO COOL!! All those folks dancing together. It made me sad seeing the little girls in Afghanistan having fun and smiling, knowing that both those things were so not allowed, and will probably to back to the same thing.

You and Mrs U have a wonderful rest of the week. ((HUGS))
