Chewlee's Dress Arrives....And Is A Hit !

Actually, her dress arrived on Monday but I waited for Chewlee to get here to open it.  I just cut the tape off.  She pulled the dress out.  As soon as she held it up, she got so excited.  She said, *It's a ballerina dress!  I always wanted a ballerina dress!*  She could hardly wait to try it on.  I had forgotten that she has wanted a dress similar to the one she got from my dear friend, Carol, until Chewlee said that.  She has said it ever since her class saw the ballet *Swan Lake* a couple years ago.  This one fills the bill.  It's not a tutu type.  It's one of those longer, flowing ones.  Well, here's a picture the Beast took of her in it (excuse the sneakers, please and her hair).  Remember, she came here after getting out of school.

                                                     

 
It even has the varied hemline that made the dresses that enchanted her so pretty.  The waistline is crystal beads in a dark dusty rose to go with the color of the dress.  She wouldn't even let her mother carry out the dress, which I put on a hangar for her or she would have clutched it to wrinkles.  The dress is beautiful and very well made, too.  Even though I could choke Carol for spending the kind of money I think the dress must have cost, she has certainly won Chewlee's heart.  Chewlee is very happy to have a stand-in granny like Carol who just KNEW what her little heart desired most of all.  She said she had to have pretty shoes to wear with it when she first put the dress on but we didn't have any here for her any more.  She has shoes that look like ballet slippers at home that she can wear with it when she wears it for her mother's shower.  She will have to bring some play clothes along with her since she would be there mostly to play with Chance but I have a feeling we might have a tough time getting her out of it....LOL!

Chewlee wrote Carol a sweet little note on one of my Thank You cards (which she had to send since Carol is always sending HER cards).  Her mother and I both read it and thought it was very sweet.  

Carol loved the fact that I emailed her a copy of this picture and said to thank the Beast for taking it.  She said she plans to send Dave more of the Kauai coffee that he loves ASAP even though I assured her that it wasn't necessary.  When I told the Beast, he said he had a whole camera full of pictures he could send her...but they aren't of Chewlee so I just laughed at him.

It was definitely cooler today.  High was just 50 degrees, overcast but no rain, thankfully.  Dennis might actually get his roof done.  Speaking of which, it is one of the most interesting roofs I have seen in many years.  It has several peaks on it and will obviously have lots of windows in the under sections.  I think it's going to be a very interesting house when they get done.  It's a good thing they plan on living there until they succumb because you know what they say about owning the most expensive house in a neighborhood, right?  It is definitely going to be that just visually.  

It is supposed to be in the mid-60's tomorrow and sunny.  We shall see.  This weather we have all had all winter has been so weird, there's just no saying what will happen any more.  Meantime, love you all.  I wish you a great day everywhere.  ***Hugs***
