My Halloween Costume

There's nothing like a crown to make a girl feel really regal, you know what I mean? That's why I wanted one for Halloween, but I think I'll be able to get much more wear out of it during the coming year particularly if we get to go to Monte Carlo!

My Limousine Ride

Today I had to go to the showroom to meet some folks, so we called the big white limousine and I got to ride on the human's shoulder. It's always tons of fun and I love to sit and look out the window at the passing cars, and to look at all the sights that I'm not going to see for very much longer! Here we are going over the bridge at the Ala Wai Boat Harbor at the westernmost part of Waikiki, heading for the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Then, later when we got to the center, we bought my very first Halloween Costume, which I can't reveal until tomorrow, which is Halloween, although for many of you it will be over before it starts for me!

The Calm Before the Storm

Here I am sitting under my favorite end table, the one with my phone, which you may have seen in other pictures (have to stay in touch with the world, for goodness' sake) -

Well, today we got the news we are leaving Honolulu for PARIS, Europe on Thanksgiving Day - and getting to Paris early Saturday morning, (that's samedi matin for you folks who might not be sure). I am going to fly in the cabin all the way from Los Angeles to Paris on Air Tahiti Nui, who seem to be the friendliest airline going. We also get two whole meals, and I of course have to order strict vegetarian fare . . .

Well, as you can see I'm getting as much rest as I can because you can be sure the coming weeks will be packed, packed, packed with packing (and probably some repacking).

Along with the timothy hay, water bottle and Oxbow pellets, I intend to take just the essentials: long gloves for the opera, my almost-diamond halter - and, of course, in Paris you must have a scarf!

Bises, Désirée

Getting Ready for the Big Move

Soon we are going to be getting our tickets for the big move from Honolulu, Hawaii to Paris, France! I have to help with the packing, you know. As you can tell, it is a big job and someone has to be around to see that it's done right. That's what I'm doing here.

For a long time now - weeks, as a matter of fact - we have been deciding what to take and what not to take, putting things in bags, getting closets cleaned out, throwing out old magazines and giving books to the library. My family had to leave me for a few days when they went to the French Consulate in San Fransisco to get their papers to go. Aunt Cynthia came to stay with me - my favorite aunt, you know - because she lets me have the best treats in the world, and doesn't tell.
