Roses for my dear Rose

On Friends -
they
are
dragons..

Dear Jade Dragon, here are the roses I promised you. But if you want to read the captions on them, you'll have to click on the pale pink rose first, as usual, I uploaded the pics incorrectly :( Please say hi to the Silver Dragon looming behind you :) I took these photos yesterday, and thought they should be posted immediately when they're still fresh. I heard you plant roses in your garden once. Did you know we have an acquaintance who's a good flower photographer? Yep, she loves taking photos of roses. Still don't know who she is? She's Roytavan, a baefamily from Thailand [BYJ has lots of great family members in Thailand]. Of course there are awesome photographers from Korea, Japan and other baefamilies also.

Changing to the subject of dragons, I'm reading the third dragon lore from Christopher Paolini, Brisingr...hope I spelled that right ! I enjoyed Eragon and Eldest very much. This second from the last of the series is not as heart- stopping as the other two, but I suppose the climax will be in the last book. Jade dragon, do you know I had a funny experience at the bookstore when I bought Brisingr ? Well....I was in Jakarta and in a hurry, but had to go to the bookstore to look for something. When I got there, I thought I might as well ask when Brisingr will be out. I did, and

the sales assistant said," We have it in our store room, it just arrived. If it is positive you will buy it, I could get it for you now". Wow. it's out...with out thinking, I quickly said YES....and I waited a few minutes till she came back, "Here it is mam, its RpXXXXXX,- ". Yikes !! I forgot to ask the price ! and this was the hard cover edition ! So, after wiping the shocked expression off my face, I followed her to the check out counter. Jade, I did remember to say something to melchan and her brother, " Don't tell papa how much I paid for that book !". They agreed [of course 'why they agreed' is another story all together ! he he he..].

All the way home I was intoning 'Waise heill !....Waise heill !" to my ailing purse...Lots of love to Jade and Silver Dragon from Puff Dragon in her lair.

Arta du evarinya ono varda, Jade & Silver vodhr !!
