Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Holiday Tea 2010

Today I went to Holiday Tea with my BFF Shelley. I can't even say how delightful it was to spend a "Ladies" day with her. We did some holiday shopping and then headed over to make our reservation.

Shelley's rule is that you should always buy yourself a Christmas and Birthday Gift. I love and embrace this! It wasn't the nicest day, but we shared an umbrella and laughed as we walked down the wet streets of downtown.

I love tea and the Heathman's Holiday tea is not to be missed! The staff is SO friendly, everyone offers to take your photo and help you with your coat and just be so nice. All the ladies are dressed fabulously and the little girls are SO adorable. I saw one today who brought her teddy bear and one wearing a pill box hat with a hot pink netting for a viel. Very cute and chic for a five year old!

Thank You to my fabulous friend Shelley for being my date today- it was so lovely and I hope we can do it again next year! It is a wonderful way to start the holiday season, sharing a memorable afternoon with a wonderful friend!

Side note: I also finally had my camera on hand for a great shot of the Arlene Schnitzer Concern Hall. I got a good night time shot during the She + Him concert, but I love the day time one as well. I think this would be fantastic in B&W. I think I'll try messing with it tomorrow.
