This was a wonderful evening to stop and reflect upon how fortunate we are to have Michelle Byrd as a part of our slap-happy coterie.
Thank you for everything, Michelle. You are a great friend.
We met at Cafe Piccolo -- alas, I was 25 minutes late for reasons too tiresome to go into, so I missed the kick-off. But when I arrived, small goody bags had already been handed out. Obviously Michelle's native American blood kicking in -- most of us expect to receive gifts on our birthdays but in the immortal tradition of the long house, Michelle celebrated by giving US stuff!
We were very lucky to have not only the full complement of tuppers, but also, Andrew Lamb and Kathleen's three grandchildren: Ashby, Sam, and Lilly.
We did the thing right, starting with appetizers and wine and proceeding dauntlessly through salads, entrees, deserts, and coffees. If there's a restaurant food category we didn't order, I don't know what it was.
More later!
