Hi Lynn, hope you saved some beer for the rest of us. Sounds like you all
had a wonderful day! I guess this just proves that the only thing it takes
to have a "good" time is the right people; either that or you
Connecticutonians can party anywhere! (sounds a lot like Nova
Scotians...that's me, by the way). Anyway, thanks for the post and you're
absolutely right about the gifts; they are truly amazing and each one is a
blessing to be appreciated now and stowed away to help us later, for it's
these memories and experiences that will sustain us through the difficult
times. Keep in touch.
Your friend (who'll be waiting for an invite to the next party),
Bridget
