Idyllic Ibiza - Continued

Today, we went to a beautiful spa, got massages, and had a glorious time! By the way, something better did turn up-I've decided to not be in Pride and Prejudice, but instead (unless God has other plans) join a local homeschooling group and do our own production, and I'll also try to participate in shows around town! So, all's well that ends well! That last line was a Shakespeare play title- I adore the Bard, and here's how I imagine the scenario between he and Jane Austen  in Heaven-
Jane - (sniffling) Oh, poor, poor Isabel! Cassandra and I feel for her so, for we too suffered great disappointments in our lives!
Shakespeare-(patting her on the back, offering her his handkerchief) Don't weep, Miss Jane, I'll get our little Izzy out of this pickle! After all, the lass wast born on my birthday, not thyne!
Jane- (wiping her eyes, smiling at him) Work away, o Bard!
And there you have it!

I love your vignette! I think you have a great talent for the vignette. Even more I love your precious attitude about the play. Can't wait to hear the details about your plans! I wonder if the spa you went to was the same one we went to when I was there last summer. Sooo beautiful and so much fun!!!

Izzy, this is wonderful! Jane and Speare, conspiring together...it appears as if his efforts were not in vain. Keep writing, dear heart.
