Dearest Ani,

Now really SHAME ON ME!!!

But, first - my vacation, then yours .... AND ... ROMANIA STAYS WHERE IT ALREADY WAS :) ...

AT THE TOP OF ADLAND!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS AND HUGS!!!!

I saw you are at poetic mood.

Something from my love - by Edgar Allan Poe :

A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

This may be a heart, but also a letter "B" :)

Ani,

If you were in love with pipes, you should be happy spending those bucks on really special one.

BUT ...

I am sad knowing you will spend them for other things :)

Well deserved - already earned - happily spent!

LOVE YOU,

Branka
