IF...A cross stitch of Matisse? <br />That's awesome!<br />IF you wouldn't mind, may I request a close-up of the stitching?<br />(Purely optional of course, I understand if you don't want to post such a thing.)<br /><br />I also have nightmares about traveling--usually about being too late--brilliant of you to factor in the unexpected---which happened!

What a silly billy Dave is! Leaving his shoulder bag on the train! What a feeling of relief there must have been when he retrieved it.

How lucky it wasn't taken by someone else, how lucky the train was coming right back, how lucky Dave was able to locate it before the train pulled out -- and how prudent you both were to go early.
