Rosie's Portrait

Oh forgot to write about this BIG thing...

On Dec 17th, I recieved an email from Aunt Suzi. I offered help to distribute the stones to fellow DS members and recieved an email from her.

And guess what... It was with an attachement. When I scroll down, I went @@! Hysterical, crazy ... watever words can describe...

This was what I saw...

It was a portrait drawn by Aunt Suzi as a gift for me.... just because I offered help. I was so touched and also guilty cause I wasn't much help in distributing the stones cause Jean didn't want my involvement.

It all started with my boarding stuffs. Jean wants to board her dogs at my place before and during CNY. So I qouted her $10 per day since its many days and many dogs, all was settled and confirmed but last min she says that she will only be boarding her dogs during CNY and only for 3 days. So I explained that I would have to give her a quote of $11 per day per dog cause I need to be fair to other dog owners also. I am already giving her a lower quote than other doggy owners cause I normally charge $13 per day for a Public Holiday. In the end, she decided to cancel the boarding.

So when I know from Aunt Suzi that I should contact Jean, I called and made some suggestions like we can start a thread for DS members to reply to see where they want to collect the stones and offered my place to be one of the collection point. Finally, she started the thread but did not mentioned anything about my place as a collection point... Hmmm... I also never say much, just keep quiet. I just hope to be able to offer help and make sure Aunt Suzi's effort not wasted. I went to collect my stones and portrait on Monday night after sending Ding Dong home, never say much to her also.. just took my stuffs, thank her and left.. I was so mesmerized by the painting.. Now its safely locked in my wardrobe till I have the time to bring it for framing.. Will post a pic after I frame...
