| 18th May 2008 Auntee | THE BEST TIME EVER - From: Live from the middle of the ocean... Just gotta let all of you who read Ashley's Blog how wonderful it was to be on the High C's with Ashley. Ken and I had the most wonderful time on our cruise to the Azores. Thanks, Ashley, for getting Auntee on board. I know that was tough to do. The memories we take away from seeing you sing and dance in that setting will last a lifetime. You are remarkable at what you do on the stage and off. Everybody loves you. You are vibrant and beautiful and sweet and, most importantly, extremely talented. It was a wonderful week for us. Have a very, very happy birthday in the land of Ez. I know you will. You will be in a beautiful place on your birthday. We hope you have wonderful weather and the best time ever. Thanks for a great, great time. We love you. Auntee and Uncle KC. |
| 27th April 2008 Ginger G-Boo | Love a Gyro!!!!! - From: Three World Wonders: Ancient Petra, The Pyramids, and The Boys in Greece and Turkey! Love our descriptive travel updates...hope you're compiling for future book 'Singing on the High C's'....I'll probably be a publicist by then...so let's talk. But, let's get back to the food and in particular the GYRO...love a GYRO and so often disappointed by the dry beef at the Greek Deli in Deerfield on Federal Highway. Was yours better than that? Please describe in detail. Back to decorating....yea, we had a little mishap after Mom's sectional sofa thing when 'Decorator for a Day' was to meet Sir David and Melissa for an emergency blind and office fluff/redo. To everyone's disappointment that darn 'Green' (explain later) Decorator got hung up at another appointment and had to cancel. You can't count on those independent 'Interior/Exterior' designers. We'll make up. But, enough of that.. it's Sunday am here and cloudy and I hope it's bright and sunny whereever you are in the world today. I don't know if you're keeping up with The Today Show, but Matt Lauer is 'where in the world' this week. Who knows, he could show up...at your show!!! Love your blogs.....what a life you're having. P.S. Big news...we maybe switching nail salons. I'll keep you posted. Love, Ginger, G-Boo |

| 23rd March 2008 Ginger G-Boo | Purim this... - From: THAILAND FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION, EX-NAY ON RI-LANKA-SAY, AND PURIM AT SEA! Purim that....does no one out there know its Easter?! I'm going straight to Hell just for blogging today. Although technically I'm responding to a blog so maybe Pergatory. Hence, what a time you're having. Next trip...MeMa or whatever the hell you girls call her (My Mona) we're going for 24 hour massages -- forget those 90 minutes. Just for reference never did a 90 minuter in my life before Moner....now mandatory...wouldn't even consider a 60. Stay well. Have a blast. I've got a lot of making up to do to get back on good terms....maybe an egg hunt...perhaps a confession or two..........Love, Ging |
