Seeing my blog audience in person sure put a dent in my time to work on the blog. Now that almost everyone has gone home, I can get back to the business of blogging! I suppose that is the only good thing about saying good bye to the assembled crowd.
Thank you all for coming from far and wide to celebrate Jack's safe return home so many years ago and to raise a glass to his book. His published book. His Random House published book. May HIS accomplishment inspire each of us to pursue our own dreams.
There, I finally got to make my toast. Luckily you don't need vocal chords to write a blog.
Also, let's raise a glass to the lovely Leo's. Eliza, Sylvia and Jessie celebrate birthdays this month.
Brad and Sylvia on to their 2nd anniversary.
Love you all.
Barb

Special thanks as well to our wonderful guests and overnight hosts -Carol, Irene and Lyn, and Robin.
David, you barn was splendid - perfect!.
These are difficult times for all of us in one way or another, but we have one another.
May God continue to bless us all.
Bravo! Thanks for hosting such a wonderful get together. The barn was the perfect setting and the company superb.
We're sad, of course, about Barb's voice but were glad to hear David's in a way that many of us hadn't before.
I'm sitting back at my desk today but my thoughts continue to wander back to Maine, Fort Lee and Lincoln and the time there.
That's how you know it was a successful party.
Hey, Barb.
Very cool pic. As cool as the event.
Credit for photo goes to John Tsien.
Thank you John of all the great photos you transferred over to me. They will be turning up on the blog!
"Those lit windows (above the barn door) are so David!" Carol
Margo is Carol's mother. I set up a gmail account for her this weekend and forgot to switch back to my name.
A glass up to all! I love sharing our anniversary with Eliza. What a special day. What an incredible weekend! Thanks for hosting all of us.
