Aaron and I at La Alhambra in Granada, Spain a few days before Thanksgiving in 2006. He was my first and fastest friend at work. He's in NYC now, and I miss him.
- Ang and Sam, my very fun, very gracious, very big-hearted friends who live just up the stairs. I learn from them every day.
- Sean, Brian, Dave and Matt (sorry Beej, you should be in this shot as well!). Extraordinary musicians and men.
- Elena, who lives upstairs and wrinkles up her nose every time she says “please?”.
- Me and Paul in Bordeaux, France, a few days after Thanksgiving 2007. We met online (it was hell). He lives in DC now. I miss him. Apparently, after traveling abroad with me, people move far, far away.
- Glory, who is Elena’s twin. Equally talented at kissing, singing and pinching.
- The glamorous Jenny and Aaron, whom I’ve loved since college. They are kick-ass hosts, among other things.
- Manny, who is big brother to the twins, far more coordinated than I’ve ever dreamed of being, and very tolerant of my singing. His hugs get my morning started right.
Me, Kristin, Christine, Jen, Jen, Jenny, Julie and Marilyn soaking up the sun at Hood Canal. The collective talent, wisdom, compassion and wit of these women makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
- Ty, Izzy, Linds, and Sam. My sisters’ fabulous kids. More on them in the August 18, 2009 post.
My friends are making new friends for me to love! Here are two of them: Clark and Liam. C-U-T-E.
Colby and Beth, Megan and Alex, me, Brian and Jill on a roasting hot August day in DC. On this trip there was crab killing, skinny dipping, and nonsense in the National Gallery. I loved it!
And there are others, but I don’t have photos of them! I am blessed. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I ❤ you Rona!
I’m so thankful for you, too, Rona! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We had Green Shrimp Curry last night – Yum!
What a great trip to DC– and oh my gosh, is that really the most recent picture you have of me? We need to travel together again soon. I promise I won’t move across the country afterwards.
Just now saw this…very sweet. You are a treasure!
I just want you to know that I had to move out of the country for us to travel abroad together, so there? And, I love you. And, happy thanksgiving. Oh, wait…
Chica,
We traveled abroad together YEARS before you moved! Remember any late night, spur-of-the-moment, ID free trips to the Great North?
