Carol, you are AMAZING, and I can't believe that I haven't met you yet. But I hope to because you're just over in the next state! Either you need to visit Seattle, or I need to hop over to Portland. I hope that's a deal!

You have been on this forum for years and enrich it with your ladylike manners, innate sweetness, open-minded nature, receptive persona, and extremely kind words that are ongoing and supportive. You comment on every single blog post - and with heart and energy - and it's wonderful. You are so fab and I can't thank you enough for your loyalty and positive spirit. But what I like most about you is your gentleness and modesty. You show humility which I find extremely endearing and character-rich. You have no idea how fabulous you are!

And your KILLER style is the cherry on top. Over 50 and never looked better! I bet you feel it too. This impresses me, as you know. I'm high fiving you on your fussy feet and love for wearing flats and very low heels. That Kingdom is small, but as meaningful. You are its Queen and I am bowing before you. (Urban Princes bow, not curtsey :))

I hope that you feel celebrated and special on your birthday because you richly deserve to feel that way. I also hope that we haven't missed the big wedding because I want details! You in that frock took my breath away, and your son will be so proud of the stunningly stylish and adoring Mama by his side.

love
Angie xoxo
