Stella Cabeca's Star Dancers in Hollywood - April 2008

Special thanks from Karen to Sandi Mendelow for the U.S. Navy blanket. All I can say is WOW! And you remembered I had wolves in my RV so you found a card with wolves. The verbiage on the "Karen's Haute Couture" sign is amazing. I will really miss you. to Stella Cabeca - thanks for the neat special recognition plaque and all the time and effort you put into surprising me with this thoughtful tribute. I appreciate the time you took from your dance classes to wish Lee and me well on our travels. We love you! There are not enough thank you's for all you've done for me too. to Barbara Loughman - I love the collectors egg in red white and blue to Judy - thanks for the bracelet to Charlotte Morris - thanks for the calligraphy, and the dance belt. to Tippi Lewis - thanks for the satay seasoning mix to Bob - thanks for making the hats. to Gerri & Heather - Lee really wants to thank you for the 2008 Atlas. He loves it - It will make travel plans easier and faster. to Dottie Weiss - I will think of you when I make Margaritas, as always. to Laura- thanks for the photos and to everyone thanks for the decorations, food, hugs, well wishes, and for mostly just being yourself. You all have a special place in my heart. There isn't much better in life than being lucky enough to know wonderful people who are great friends!

For those of you who may not know Stella Cabeca's webmaster, Karen Duquette: She has sold her home and bought a 40 foot motorhome to travel the USA/Canada full-time with her husband Lee. Karen will continue to do Stella's web site from the road. However there might be a day or two that she may not be able to get on the internet to make changes, but that should not happen often. If you wish to keep track of Karen and her travels, please go to http://www.tworvgypsies.com Karen hopes to return to Stella's dance classes now and then as a snow-bird.
