Barbara M Roberts is in town visiting one of her many properties, the Grand View shops and Condos. It's late in the day, but the Patisserie lights are still on.

(Ms. Roberts is wearing Barbie Avon Talk of the Town, 2003. The purse is the same fabric, but from either a Fashion Fever or a Fashion Avenue. The purse has pink stitching on the handle and a small pink bow which I hid on the backside.)

(I'm missing the big sweeping hat...I will have to try and make one. The Grand View (Mattel redo Grand Hotel) has winter decorations still up. Lights are on in the Patisserie. )

BMR: Hello, Sindy. Everything looks so delicious. How has business been?

Sindy: We've done okay, with people not wanting to take public transportation, the neighborhood has supported us since opening. It's so nice to see you again, Ms. Roberts. How is L.A.?

BMR: I've been staying at my place in Tahoe, and thank you. I know I haven't been able to travel much, but I flew in before the snow and am just finishing up some business this week. Lara seems to have everything under control for BMR, here in Chicago.

Sindy: Lara is great, she makes sure we have everything we need in this building. Well, have a safe trip back to LA.

BMR: I'm not leaving until Friday. We have two new projects, I still need to visit. See you soon and I love your Valentine displays!
