Molly, Holly and Kate
Molly, I'm so sorry I missed you. The nice lady sitting beside you said you weren't feeling well...I did grab a cover flat--signed by you--but oh, how I would've LOVED to meet you.
Holly, it was so awesome getting to hang out with you. And you're making me blush. You too, looked gorgeous as always. No Pirates in any of these pictures.
Kate, I miss seeing you too! Maybe again one day and then you will hear me before you spy me. I'll be the one squealing as I seek you out.
Rae
Rae!
Rae,
Really, I had so much fun! Your mom and daughter were so sweet....no surprised since one raised you, and one was raised by you! LOL

Keira, Thanks so
Keira,
Thanks so much! It really was a lovely time, but it's so nice to be home. Finally spring has spread to Erie and seems to have a firm foothold. My trees are starting to bud, my tulips are up and I suspect will have flowers this week...so very nice to be back to enjoy the changes this time of year brings!
Hope it's a great week for you!

Frenchie,
LOL No, red hair. It's brownish with some natural blond highlights, that my hairstylist has added to! LOL
Thanks for the congrats! I was/am thrilled!
You were way ahead of us on spring, but finally it's reaching Erie. Beautiful out right now. Supposed to be near sixty degrees. Life is good!

Aurelene, No I'm sorry, I didn't! I was actually so excited I remembered to take my camera out at all. I always take it along to conferences...and always forget to get it out! SIGH. But thankfully, Frenchie has a source for you! (Thanks, so much, Frenchie!)
