Nine Eleven


The images today have brought back so many memories. I was having coffee and watching the Today show and could not believe my eyes. My husband and I huddled around the TV and watched in horror. Called my son and made sure he was OK, even though I knew he was on the West Coast...just had to make sure and talk to him.


The feeling that day is something that we as Americans should never forget and the images of all the loved ones of those who had lost their lives that day holding photos and hoping against hope is something that I think about to this day.


Like so many I paid my respects to the site where those magnificent towers once stood in NYC while visiting about two years later. It was such a moving experience and am so glad to have been able to go there and pay my respects.


It's always a bit chilling for me seeing them in an old movie or TV show and makes me think that is the way things should have been forever~!

Friends Don't Let Friends Shop Alone



Today is my buddy Stella's last day here on site with us...and I'm really gonna miss her. She is going on to a great new position and thankfully not too far away. But our lunchtime shopping trips have become legendary around here. Stella and I can get more done in an hour than anyone...well sometimes an hour and a half~!!


So yesterday we took her to lunch and had to give her one of the Girl Talk "friends don't let friends shop alone" platters with a couple of gals that look pretty much like us~!!

Gonna miss you girl~!! But we will always have the weekends~!!



PS Frosting Ink cupcakes were yummy too~!!
