[NautiNurse]

Take the first name of either granddad/mom, name of your first pet, name of street you grew up on....preface with Lord or Lady.

I beg your kindest pardon, for I missed the original instruction toward addressing my royal name.

Fondly,

Lady Ethel Thomasina of Cloverwood

Lady Fluffy the lovers knox is a dreaded red X for me. Won’t even show when the ‘show picture’ is clicked.

since most who will be actively participating here at this thread tonight & tomorrow are “enthusiasts” (for lack of a better word)... want to ask.

Did any of you get to the Princess Diana traveling display a couple years ago?

It was in Cleveland and I went with a group of 6 or so gal pals. We LOVED it.. so many of her gowns, jewels, childhood items, personal effects, shoes, “things” were there along with a huge amount of photos. Pretty pricey as I recall.. maybe 30 dollars or so.

I have those pix SOMEWHERE on some hard drive or external Hard drive.. but here are a couple collages that I did of her following her death that I was able to locate on this computer

[DollyCali]

it is there for me. maybe you need a reboot?

[hoosiermama]

Gals, if you are interested...Ovation is doing a series on Diana tonight—her jewels, her gowns, etc. Running now on the hour.

Thank you very much!!! I hope it plays every hour. Please don’t tell hoosiermama that I plan to fall asleep with the TV on...lol.

Right now, I have to wait for San Diego’s NFL Draft Choice. *He* is watching it on TV. Just one more choice to go, before the Chargers select, but he’s starting to use salty language so, I think the team’s pick just went.

See you all in the morning!!!

[Miss Didi]

Sleep tight...see you in the morrow! :)

[hoosiermama]

TLC (183 on DISH) has several programs on the wedding it’s preparation etc all night long.
