It's my turn to host the zebra striped sequined purse known as "Pursey Galore." Pursey is serving as the ambassador for the year-long fund raiser for the American Stroke Association, geniused by Lori from InPursuitofMarthaPoints. Pursey Galore , as part of Project: Purse and Boots, is traveling the USA and Canada, raising awareness and collecting pledges for the ASA. Each hostess provides a story of Pursey's stay with them, here is mine:
Dear
Mama Lori: I'm so very sorry I haven't called, but I've been having so much fun at the
kingdom here with The Empress and her family!
It's all kinds of beautiful, and peaceful here. The weather is perfect, and everywhere: it's just picture perfect.
Thank you for letting me see so many things on my own,
Mama Lori.

| Empress opened the package and had this note from Mama Lori |
 |
| Me feeling kinda shy, just arrived from KludgyMom |
At first, I was kinda shy, because,
Mama Lori, let me tell you: there are NO other ladies in this house.
Only The Empress.
It's all men, boys, and noise, and...not really quiet, you know.
But, then, I met Oldest's backpack, he was SO nice, but pretty young, and then I met the
famous Baby E's backpack, and he was just so little, and cute. And I met Middlest's backpack, who was really smart. And, then, oh,
Mama Lori, I don't know how to begin.
I........
I........
I looked up, and there. he. was........
Mr. Big.

| Picnics with Mr. Big |
The Emperor's Laptop bag.
 |
| Spending sunny afternoons together | | | | |
Mr. Big gave me my first rose. EV-ER.
I felt so special.
 |
| We had sweet talks together in the yard |
 |
| We played on swingsets together |
 |
| Sometimes we sat and just said nothing |
We did so much. Mr. Big taught me to scooter
. Mama Lori, I LOVE the feeling of speed! I felt so free, so young, so ALIVE with the wind blowing through my sequins! Mr. Big told me, that when the sun hits my sequins just so, that I look like a star that fell right out of the sky. He said, "
So, did it hurt?" And I asked,
"did what hurt?" and he said...oh, Mama Lori, he said, "
When you fell down from heaven." *sigh*

| Our scooters |
We played a game called "Chess" together, and he is so smart, and good at teaching things. I won after only one afternoon of playing. He said I could learn anything, I think he let me win.

There is so much to do in
this town. Everyone had something happening for Halloween. It's a wonderful weekend to be here,
Mama Lori! We spent a wonderful Friday here, I can't wait till tomorrow, Saturday!
 |
| We went leafpile jumping! |
 |
| The Empress and Baby E took us to a pumpkin farm | | |
|
|
|
 |
| We went on a Gothic Tour of the town to see the first cemetery |
That was a wonderful Saturday, Mama Lori! I'll never, ever forget it. I fell asleep, dreaming of what we'd do on Sunday. I am so very happy.
 |
| We began Sunday with coffee at LaMonde Bakerie |
I had coffee today! I love it! It makes me feel good about EVERYTHING! It's the perfect drink: it calms you down, but brings you up. I had a great time laughing and talking and wishing my cup was bottomless!
 |
| We sat and felt the warm sun | |
 |
| We joined in on the town's pumpkin walk |
 |
| And, still, more of those strolls along the creek...... |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
I could have lived in that day forever, but we had to hurry home, we were going trick or treating with the family. Our costumes were waiting for us!
 |
| Ready for Trick Or Treat! |
 |
| Family ready to Trick Or Treat |
We came home, bags full of candy, so very tired. I was happy, and sad, because I knew, and Mr. Big knew, that tonight would be my last night here.
Mama Lori, you were young once, right? Please keep that in mind, when I explain to you what happened next. Do you remember when someone would walk into a room, and your heart would race? Remember that? Please say you do, it'll make it so much easier for you to understand what I'm about to tell you.
 |
| It had been chilly, so we decided to use the jacuzzi...... |
 |
I'm not sure how this happened......
|
 |
| .....or this..... | |
He loves me,
Mama Lori. Mr. Big is going to take care of
Purseylette while I honor my commitments. The Empress is so happy to have a baby girl in the house, she, along with Mr. Big, will take wonderful care of
Purseylette. Everything will be O.K. They will be reading about me to
Purseylette, and showing her where I am on
Project Purse And Boots. And, after I finish what I promised I'd do, Mama, and meet with
The Bloggess at
BlogHer 2011, I'm hoping I can
come back, here, and be with Mr. Big and
Purseylette.
I feel good about this, Mama L., and now I'm ready to leave Monday, to meet
Meg at BestOfFates!
I love you, Mama Lori.
Love,
Pursey Galore
