In the midst of all the hub-bub we’re currently involved in, there are a few bright points. Very few if you don’t like dresses, flowers, and talking about dresses and flowers…
So tonight’s order, straight from Claire’s Mom, was to decide on our signature cocktail at the reception.
So, I present to you, my homework:
Last week I spent ~40 hours in airports and airplanes, so when I finally got home Saturday morning, it was time to celebrate.
