Hey there! Sorry I have not been around much lately. From the last few court dates, it looks like things may finally be on track for the retrial and sentencing of CMJA! She ran but she couldn't hide. Justice will be served and she cannot escape the inevitable.

I'll try to pop in more often before the trial starts. I'm going to read through a few pages first to catch up on what peeps have been up to lately. Hope everyone is doing well.

Doesn't appear Missy is living up to one of her "mitigating " factors~~locks of love

Look at the grey hair......love it. Where is A News Junkie when we need her. Can anyone do one of the computer generated aging for her? Lordy Lordy Jodi's heading towards forty.

 

[YESorNO]

I do love her hats...not sure about her granddaughters though - they seem pretty far out there KWIM?

Just how many crowns does she have? and will they go to Kate or to their first girl child if they have one? or one to Prince George's wife?

I do love her wedding dress more than Dianna"s or Kate's. Dianna's had way too much poof and fabric, and Kate's was quite plain to me, and then you have Pippa's behind that many remember more than Kate's, but I love the lace flowers on Queen Elizabeth's veil.

I think Charles had to marry someone to produce an heir to the throne, Camellia was too old for that. They did make good looking and well mannered boys.

I loved the photos of Kate and Prince George looking at this mama and you can see how much her loves her.

Snipped:

She doesn't own any - there are only two that are in use and they are public property.
She does own a large variety of tiaras though.

"...royal assets that the Queen enjoys but are owned by Britain include the Royal Art collection, the Crown Jewels, $11 billion worth of UK property held through the Crown Estate, even unmarked swans on stretches of the Thames,..."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/luisakr...billionaire-but-is-herself-not-quite-as-rich/

She does have a personal collection of jewels, but I don't think she will/can(?) sell them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Personal_Jewel_Collection_of_Elizabeth_II

(I guess whoever is the next in line [Prince Charles and then Prince William]- after Queen Elizabeth dies- gets the crowns, but as I stated, they belong to the Crown Estate and not the King/Queen.)

That's funny that you mentioned the wedding dresses- I was looking at them this week.

Her wedding gown is my favorite.
Queen Elizabeth II's wedding gown:

-Look how beautiful her veil was-

-And Princess Diana's dress (like Cinderella- I watched the wedding on TV. The wedding was so beautiful, even in black and white):

-And Princess Kate's: (look at the beautiful lace):

-The Queen Mother was also beautiful, IMO:

-When she was young:

-And her wedding dress:

-Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyons - the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother -1923:

-Here's an article about her dress (and there is a pic of the Queen Mother's mother and her father- the Earl of Strathmore- on the left and King George V & Queen Marry [Prince Albert's parents- on the right]):

We can only hope. I just want her gone to prison forever.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

Have a good morning everyone.

 

[Nore]

Thank you Kensie. I've had a lot of ups and downs lately,
including the death of a dear friend. Things are looking up though.

1947, August 31st - Niner is born!! (I'm on the left!)

I told my nephew that his son (not here yet) held out for our August birthday dinners. We have August 3 - 9 - 11 (his daddy birthday) - 15 - 19 -26- and the 29. He was due July 22.

I keep telling him he's been i long enough and come on out and meet his family. My nephew is like a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.
