Thanks, Princess. This site will be a great help.

 

I keep wondering about your name Princess Di. Is it because of England's Princess Di?

Marlyne

 

Its from her initials; D.I.

And she is a Princess, in the best sense of the word;>)

 

I've talked with her on the phone a number of times and found her to be quite outgoing and personable....and probably the only person I've met who can talk longer on the phone than me;>)

Thank you, very much, for the compliments. You know, I do so admire you and all your many talents. ;)

Yes, I Love to sail Princess and Di is my initials. :cool:

Everyone truly loves the Real Princess and, when we were in Paris in 2000, we accidentally stumbled upon That Street where there are tributes to her, fires that are always lit, many bouquets of flowers, letters to Her. It is a permanent memorial.

She is truly one to fashion one's life after. :D
