Mother of Pearl,

What a week it has been! Fanny with more willing Old Maid players than she has ever had under one roof. And Louise rushing about, keeping fresh water in the cut flowers and harrumphing about the empty Bordeaux bottles accumulating in the pantry. The last of our guests will leave today. Brave, elegant, Mimi will pilot the SHIFT back to her own neighborhood. It's a rather insubstantial looking craft, if you ask me. But Mimi says it runs on free energy and that is what is so lovable about it. And I believe her. As always!

I Remain Your Devoted Miss Blue
