I have been a huge fan of yours since my mother and aunt first introduced me to your show, Martha Stewart Living, in 1997 (I was ten years old!). I have an immense love for thunderstorms, dinner parties, and opera, so it is no surprise that this post put a huge smile on my face. Your photographs of this evening are stunning - your estate is gorgeous, the table setting is delightfully elegant, and your guest of honor, Miss Susan Graham has been a wonderful inspiration to aspiring classical singers across the globe, including myself! While I am not a mezzo (I'm a young soprano), I fully enjoy and appreciate the excellence and craftsmanship that Miss Graham has so gracefully brought to life through her voice. As for my favorite opera, I simply cannot pick just one! I do, however, have a soft spot in my heart for the masterpieces of Giacomo Puccini. My favorite performance of "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca is "La Divina" Maria Callas' 1958 Opéra de Paris debut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vOj9SWJdyQ Goodness, this comment turned out to be longer than I anticipated! Thanks for all you do, Martha. Cheers! I cannot even begin to express the sheer happiness I felt while reading this post!

I've asked every cultured person I know for their pearls of wisdom and no one remembers that Rosini opera either! And BTW, it was The London Symphony Orchestra's rendition of 'TOMMY' that really blew my dress up! But 'The Who' deserves the credit as well! Hello again!

You like food ? I make a really mean curry - also,I travel to Morocco twice a year and am turning out some fairly good Moroccan goodies. Recently I watched some You Tube video showing how Real Barbeque is done - we dont get that here in UK - have you had real barbeque ? I would love to attend a big Cookout.

Here's a poem for pets I wrote today. I have to cut and paste quickly and run. Going to find the fireworks we hear going off outside!!

My dogs and cats are
such good pals
they may bark
or they may meow
but they never swear
nor have a cow

Their temperament is delightful
their affection so true
and since all they want to do
is hang out with me
I never seem to feel very blue

God knows they are
the best little pals
that could ever be

Find a pet
and soon
you will see.
