A Letter from Eloise

Way back when we were in NY...we paid a visit to the Plaza Hotel. While there, Zion had a little tea party w/Eloise (life-sized stuffed doll) and wrote a very sweet note to her. She folded it...licked the envelope and placed it in the Plaza's mailbox (meant especially for notes to Eloise) and has been awaiting a reply ever since. The lady at the Plaza mentioned that it might take a few weeks to hear back.

It's been longer.

Each day...Zion would hope that a letter was in the mail. I could tell that she was disappointed...even though she hasn't been verbalizing it. Part of her, I'm sure...thought she might be very very silly to even think that Eloise might really and actually write back.

Last week, I phoned the manager on duty at the Plaza Hotel. I explained the situation and he was utterly mortified and apologetic over the fact that their public relations department had let so much time pass by.

Today...Zion had mail in the mailbox! A letter from Eloise!!!!!!!!!
