Glad to hear you're ok Lissi and say hello to Pippin for me he sounds cute or is it a she? -------------------------------- "To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti -------------------------------- Chela Robles E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx -------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Estelnalissi To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 7:22 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] appreciating Booksharian quality Dear Booksharian Friends, I'd like to thank those of you who showed your quality by not judging or name-calling when Amber expressed frustration at not being able to contact me about the books I'd bought and paid to ship to her. We were both making dreams come true and under time constraints, she to pack and move to Arizona and a well-deserved job, and me to research, buy, prepare for, hire transport for and then to care for a 7 week Papillion puppy named Pippin. We were passing each other in transit. We only needed a few words to decide about the books and affirm our friendship. It's too expensive for us to do anything but donate the books, but I still have a houseful and Have always been thrilled about Amber's wonderful career opportunity. Library book sale season is starting tomorrow in Akron so Amber and I will have no shortage of projects to work on together once she's settled and I finish a mammoth book of hers that I'm working on now. I appreciate those of you who had helpful suggestions for Amber and those who quietly let the situation resolve itself. I don't read list mail every day but I do answer my phone. It was just unusual for the line to be busy while I was talking to vets, puppy care providers, breeders, friends, trainers, and the nice couple who own Pippin's mother and his father, Delilah and Dapper Dan. It's wonderful that this time it was adopting a puppy and not illness that made me hard to reach. I trust everyone here will make it a practice to react to posts with kindness, so volunteers will want to join us and remain active with us. Always with love, Lissi
