Loved your form in this, and the parasol is not only a lovely picture but an image laden with meaning, the protection from the sun, but also (like Japanese women), an object used for flirtation. Love how the guy came to her "rescue," and I'm sending this to Riley, who is a preacher's stepdaughter... and the sweetest little dyke you'll ever meet.

The parasol is wonderful, and a great help in romantic situations, either to take along or to leave behind.<br />And the music...all my life I've wanted a pink honky-tonk player piano — a player piano because I can't play, and honky-tonk because I believe that's what upright pianos were made for, and pink just for fun.<br />You made me very happy with this post.<br />KKay L.
