3. Boyfriends not provided? You should have a pool of eligible bachelors (like George Clooney …sorry about that ) and for the men a range full of beautiful women……all different ages…. then you could start a business…..haha in the romantic country! 🙂

   • Ute, Ute, I can’t provide a guarantee. Yes, there are some eligible bachelors here, but remember I know more women than men. You are better served to bring your own. Yes, I could start a wonderful business. The problem is that I’m selling dream men! I could do a bit of research and advertising before I do my final invitation brochure and go public with this idea!!! hahaha 🙂 ML 🙂

       • I have been to Hollywood. Did it know I was there? I don’t think so!! I’ll have to see if my friend Elane knows George. She has met Will Smith, and many others, but I have not.

         • I’m sure it is quiet. He is company, someone to say, “I’m home! Where are you?” What are YOU doing for Christmas? We are having Paula and the kids over – my dear former secretary whom I love. She had a funny post of Facebook once, and asked everybody to tell a story about how they met her – true or false. I wrote a huge story about V & I being spies in Russia, and I was pregnant on the train, and delivered this baby, but since I was a spy, I couldn’t keep her, so we gave her to a nice lady (her real mom) to raise for us. Her mom is in TExas, but we are now FB friends. So fun!!! Do have a great time these next days. There’s a blogging site to post notes to people who are alone so they won’t be lonely. I’m going to monitor that during the day tomorrow. Lots of love, Ute, Marsha Lee 🙂

Horses will take you to your romantic picnic lunch, with a wonderful assortment of the best fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses, packed romantically in the hamper with some delicious white wine. All laid out on a beautiful white or red checked table cloth, with matching dishes, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers to make the setting complete.

     • Yes Marsha I am picky. Pickynics are a lot of fun, the preparation, the anticipation, the travel to the spot, the laying out, the eating, the wasps, the ants, the horses bolting, an irate farmer telling you not to picnic here, a flat tire in the cop car on the way home. In other words a normal happy picnic.

       • I am used to picky. As long as you’re right there helping us prepare. It won’t be hard, slicing cheese, will be the hardest task besides fitting all the food into the hamper. Once we get there we will avoid the wasps, and we wont picnic in a walnut grove. We’ll stay away from irate farmers. The farmers I know would be happy to have us, but there’s plenty of space!!!! Cop car? Yikes. I know the Chief of Police, he will be lenient! We will tie the horses to an oak tree. They’ll stay put. I think you’ll be pleased. You’d better come in May, rather than October. We don’t want to take any chances seeing a rattle snake! 🙂
