Cool, and indeed she is my little Angel, smile, especially when she is in

I just need to keep telling myself, It will happen, give it time, It will
happen, smile.

Evan,
If you could only teach your reader - Guinness is Scots and Guinevere is Old
English or The Old Welsh which is the derivation of the name coming from the
word Gwenhwyfar meaning white phantom or white elf or even referring to the
Great white owl though by that I don't know if that is a great Snowy Owl or
a Great Horned Owl which is a phantom or spirit and therefore pale or white.
Do we have any members from Wales? My welsh is non-existent but Mary Stewart
says that the Gwenhwyfar may be a real Owl or a phantom but the one we see
in The Hollow Hills is both, the real one and a foreshadow of things to
come as it is a warning. In any event I don't doubt that Shelley's Gwenna is
a very real angel.
