Welcome to my virtual salon. Please, come in and do stay awhile.
The Contessa's dream:
...And someday, I shall have a grand mansion where we all can meet, and I will call it "Timely Manor."
Timely: occurring at a suitable or opportune time; well-timed
Manor: the main house on an estate; a mansion
It's funny... as I'm checking in on my various friends in the World of Blog, I occasionally click on the link to Timely Manor, as if to check if I've posted anything new. And then I'm mildly disappointed when I realize that I haven't.

The Contessa’s mother, the daughter of an aristocratic British family, had run away with an Italian Count after they had met at a tea. Their families had not approved. They fled Europe, leaving their families behind, and landed in North America. They married immediately and within months were joyfully expecting the arrival of a child. The young Contessa displayed qualities in keeping with her fine pedigree. Even as a toddler, she used grammatically correct phrases and a vocabulary much more broad and expansive than her few years. She was the darling of the Count's family--travelling to Italy every year to enjoy the mild Mediterranean winter with her Aunt who lived in a palazzo in Venice. As she matured, she became the toast of the International Set, bringing her wit, fashion and style to every party she attended. Hostesses from London, Paris and New York competed to lure the Contessa to their parties. Stars, diplomats and royals invariably asked, "Will the Contessa be there?" A party just wasn't worth attending if the Contessa was absent.

Finally! I was sick of reading my own blog over and over.
Dan - I feel the same way about your blog. I've been enjoying reading about your adventures in Nashville.
So glad you got to see Justin. I hold both of you in very high esteem. What a blessing it is to have you both as friends. It seems only appropriate that the two of you know each other and somehow be involved in the same ministry. My "Dream Church" would definitely include the two of you. (You too, Naba.)
Camille - At least there's been lots of new material to read on your blog!
