Well, I just got home from a horribly epic 12 hour travel day back from Seattle and now reading this has made me all the more miserable.
At the cocktail party, I noticed your eyes looked watery, but I assumed you might have been having an allergic reaction to pet hair or something. Now, I'm kicking myself for not asking you about it.
I'm very sad for your absence here, but I find you all the more endearing for taking care of your dad and wanting to make awesome memories with him. You are beautiful both inside and out, Anna. I'm so glad I went to this meet-up and got to see you again. You did a great job with organizing lunch at the oyster place and now I have a new chocolate desire...Theo's!!
When I turned around at Ann's house and there you were in your DVF dress with the amazing cherry headpiece, I just had to gasp and smile big time! That's what I appreciate about you, Anna...unexpected visual delights and laughter.
Thank you so much for all your contributions this weekend. Thank you for your friendship here on the forum and in person. Maybe send a pic or two of your travels in Off Topic?
Godspeed Anna!
XOXO
