A message from Kaithlin

Bonjour mes amies,
I guess you think we deserted you but non, we've been tied up with some important meetings with out of town guests and Dream Teller has had to make several trips on their behalf. She will hopefully return to her desk the first part of next week. I got back today and I've read the recent posts by Faith, Hope, and Charity who filled in for us. I had to chuckle at Hope's little snit at being called upon at an early hour. I grew up being friends with the triplets and I can attest to the fact that Hope does indeed require a wide berth and several cups of strong tea first thing of a morning. She just isn't a morning person and she thinks those of us who are have a screw loose somewhere in our heads.

I hope you enjoyed hearing from them as they provided you with some wonderful insight into their private lives. They are, in my estimation, some very neat women and so is Aunt Beth. Faith and Charity's husbands are two of the nicest men (not to mention drop dead gorgeous) and we hope that we might get them to add a word or two to our blog at a later date. I think you would find the men's point of view about Witches extremely interesting, not to mention really entertaining. And maybe we can get Aunt Beth to speak with you as well. She and Dream Teller are very close friends and Aunt Beth often lends a hand when called upon by the council or by Dream Teller.

When we get the opportunity to visit New Orleans we often lodge at their estate and I can't begin to tell you how hospitable and entertaining the entire family is (aside from Hope being grumpy first thing in the morning). It is a beautiful, serene place several miles from the city and with all it has to offer one is never bored or lacking for something to do.

I would like to add what none of the triplets mentioned. They are in fact physically identical; three beautiful women with eyes the color of passion-purple pansies, jet colored hair that reaches nearly to their waist, and though they often wear it in different styles and rarely dress alike, there is no mistaking that they are triplets. Faith and Charity own and run a catering business (very successful) and Hope owns and runs an equally successful home interior decorating business. She has recently incorporated a small shop into her business that stocks all sorts of mythical figurines, soaps, lotions, and candles, and other lovely items; many of which she makes herself. They are all talented and in demand so that I wonder how they manage without meeting themselves, going and coming. I recently learned that Hope is thinking about getting out of the decorating business and devoting her time, exclusively, to the other part of her business, which is her true love. She most enjoys growing herbs, fruits, and flowers, and creating potions and scents that can't be found anywhere else and if that is the case I wish her the very best in that endeavor.

Honestly, I think it would give her a bit more time for socializing (meeting the opposite sex) but I'm not about to suggest that! She already gets bent out of shape when her sisters push her to date more and heaven help all when Faith and Charity attempt to set her up with a blind date. The heavens rumble, the ground quakes, and everyone heads for cover when they attempt to matchmake (you'd think they'd learn but they mean well and want Hope to be as happy as they are). Don't think she doesn't like men, for she does. Hope just likes to call the shots in her life, especially, when it comes to men. Truth of the matter is (she'll get me for this) its going to take a strong, determined man to bring our Hope to heel. I can't wait till it happens, just for the chance to see her all starry-eyed and shaken out of her comfortable nest. Don't tell her but according to her sisters a particular guy ( a friend of their husbands) has been showing some interest in Hope and they're praying he might just be the answer to their prayer. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, back to business. Its time for another clue to our game and don't forget the game ends Dec. 31st at midnight.

Clue #7- Three alike spoke and gave their views and all revealed an extra clue. Go back and read and surely you'll see it has something to do with clues 1, 2, and 3.

Good luck, and five of you are so very close so keep the e-mails coming so we know how you're doing with the game. Blessed May You Be, Kaithlin
