Hello,
I finally made it home from California. Minja and I stayed an extra day and hung out at the hotel. Monday evening we had a farewell cocktail and Dawn and her daughter joined us. It was nice.
I had a terrific time at the fest. Not one specific thing that I can mention ( except John Karlan joining me at my table while I ate breakfast
). That was fun.
Prof Stokes was fab in the costume gala and brought down the house with her song. I was so proud of her.
Friday night was spent at the piano ( Ben in charge of that) having a great time with quite a few from the board.
I did a little volunteering again this year and enjoyed that. It is a great way to meet people. Cheryl bought a calender while I was working.
I got to chat with Vlad more this year and he is a great person. ( Vlad, I hope your throat feels better)
Our own Midnight was there and she is just as lovely and kind as I thought she would be. Of course Minja warned me that I would love her.
I met so many people this year and although I am kind of sad it's over
, I am looking forward to meeting up again next year and chatting more on this board.
It was a wonderful weekend for me. Everyone was just fantastic. Hope you all got home ok.
Teresa
